It’s cooler and cloudy this morning. The weather guys tell us to expect up to two inches of rain, starting any time now and going all day, all night, and most of the day tomorrow. I think I can...
Proud Grandma in At the foot of the hill

Autumn in At the foot of the hill
Although we don’t have many reds in our autumn colors, the yellows and golds are definitely worth the short trip up into the fabulous Colorado Rockies. Bob and I drove a “loop” from here to Ech...
Are you ready for some football?!!? in At the foot of the hill
It’s that time. Opening day. I think it’s a dumb game, but, hey, if you live in this town and want to have a conversation with just about anybody, you need to know what the Broncos are doing. I...
Unofficially.... in At the foot of the hill
The calendar says we should have three more weeks of summer. The thermometer and weather patterns and our social schedules all insist that summer ends this weekend. I love fall. The colors. ...

Hazy, Hot and Humid in At the foot of the hill
This is NOT the typical weather pattern here in the Rocky Mountains! I hate it. But then, I seem to be hating a lot of things lately. I'm afraid I'm going into depression... I do that every s...
Coffee on the deck in At the foot of the hill
I enjoyed my second cup this morning on the deck of my third story apartment, looking out over the lake. I was pleased to see the pelicans came back and are floating serenely around while the fi...
Daily life in At the foot of the hill
We had a pair of beautiful white pelicans on our little lake for a few days. I guess the fireworks scared them away because they haven't been visible since the party. Yesterday the temperature...
Fireworks over the lake in At the foot of the hill
We live across a small lake from one of the Metro's loveliest parks. If you remember the Columbine High School incident, you heard of Clement Park. The school is on the other end of the park fr...
Eyes: Good news, bad news in At the foot of the hill
Saw the eye doctor yesterday. The good news is I don't have to get new glasses! That saves me several hundred bucks. They just adjusted the frames on my regular glasses and my sun glasses so t...
Watching in At the foot of the hill
Yesterday when I woke up I noticed that one of my surgical sites was tender, surrounded by red and kind of pussy. I touched it, ever so gently and the scab popped off and it began draining... No...
Here I am back home. in At the foot of the hill
Back home in Colorado. We actually came home Tuesday. We actually got home Tuesday night, but it seemed like we were on the road for a week. But first, let me tell about our time in Montana. ...
UPDATE in At the foot of the hill
I think I might be turning the corner now, and getting over my gallbladder surgery. I sure do hope so because Papa and I have plans to hitch up the Lexus and head (way!) north come Thursday of ...
May snow storm in At the foot of the hill
It looks like it is getting lighter out. It has been raining/snowing for about 48 hours. The temp is right around freezing so most of the snow has melted, fortunately. Otherwise, we would prob...

Got the colonoscopy and the endoscopy over with yesterday. She found one possible polyp in the lower part and two somethings (?) above. She didn't seem especially concerned, but it will be a co...
The next three days in At the foot of the hill
Well, guys, tomorrow I get to visit with my surgeon in regards to the possibility of having my gallbladder removed. Then, Thursday I begin to prep for the dreaded colonoscopy which is now going ...
And now we know in At the foot of the hill
The doctor finally called me about my tests. First the blood work. Elevated white count, not enough to worry about. Elevated blood calcium, indicating a problem with thyroid. Second blood dra...
No news is good news (?) in At the foot of the hill
Still nothing from my doctor regarding tests I had Friday. I am taking that as a good sign. My brother-in-law from Idaho called yesterday and said he and his wife are coming thru here on their ...
Mayflies and foliage in At the foot of the hill
The trees have leafed out to the point where I can hardly see the lake from my third story windows. However I can always step out onto my deck and have a view. It is that time of year for the...
Gloomy Sunday in At the foot of the hill
Every friend I've read this morning says it's raining. Really??!! All over the whole country? It hasn't started raining here yet, but the wind is blowing like crazy and it is so dark and gloomy...

Our neighbor down the hall turned 90 yesterday. He and his son threw a party at our Events Center for all the residents of our building and a few folks from the other buildings. It started with...
Ailing in At the foot of the hill
For the last couple of weeks, my "IBS" has been ruling my life. A new twist, if you will, has been severe pain in my upper right quadrant. Coincidentally, I already had an appointment with GI d...
One down, three to go in At the foot of the hill
Had my annual visit with my cardiologist Thursday. All is good. He'll see me in a year (barring any "incidents" between now and then). I see the GI this coming Friday for check-up and schedul...
