Summer Birds
Have you ever stopped to look at all the different feathered friends in your area during the summer? Ducks, cranes, egrets and herons join the geese around waterways. A rainbow of colors grace the feeders as birds of every size and type stop in to get seeds. Grubs, slugs and worms fall prey to lots…
Read MoreSight Seeing
Last night I was unable to blog anything because our WiFi signal was so weak. I couldn’t FaceTime my parents either, but I was at least able to call. It is funny how some signals are stronger than others and determine what you can and cannot do on line. It can be frustrating, but it is…
Read MoreRest Areas
Driving across our country gives a traveler a unique view of rest areas. Some had flush toilets, some only mulching toilets and others still with other technologies for processing human waste. The same for sinks, some had fresh water, others had hand sanitizer; we found auto start/shut off on sinks, and push button faucets were…

It seems that wherever we go we always meet the nicest people. When we traveled back and forth from Alaska and Chicago, we used to marvel over how genuinely nice people were. On this trip to Denver, we have met so many wonderful people, all willing to share a smile, a good wish for the…

We always meet the nicest people when we travel. Sometimes it is just a brief exchange, but occasionally we get to discuss something. Language isn’t very much of a barrier for Shawn and I so we talk to just about anyone that we come across. The amazing thing is that most people respond with courtesy,…
Read MoreUrban Art
Denver is a very cool city to visit. There is a thriving artist community and lots of art everywhere. In addition to the statuary and wall paintings on the side of blank buildings, there is also some cool urban art. I wish I had snapped some pics, but I didn’t have a camera or my…
Read MoreHotel Change
What a difference a hotel can make. When we were planning the trip I thought being downtown, close to the convention center would he helpful, no crazy morning rush hour, a chance to see the hustle and bustle of Denver. One night and we found a quiet rural/ suburban setting. A bit of a drive,…
