Look for the Sunsets
On Tuesday afternoon I drove to southeast Colorado to watch my daughter cheer at a junior high football game. I smile at the things I do that I wouldn’t have done before she was born. I have said before I was not a cheerleading type of person but watching... [More]

Fair?
It’s time for the State Fair! This year looks incredibly different from last year. I am actually shocked we even get to go. As our daughter transitions to junior high, more hands are necessary to keep going. Her practices run early and late. Sometimes homework, studying,... [More]
But God
Here we are at the end of August 2024. Fall is so close I can almost touch it and then bam a 100 degree day. For some that is energizing. I am more of a cooler weather fan. We are supposed to leave for the state fair next Thursday. I say supposed to because you never know... [More]
