Merry Christmas!

I hope December is being kind to you all. After hearing what the temps are in Minnesota (a high of -6 today!), Iโ€™m grateful to live in Colorado.

Until they finally ask me what I've come to expect, "What do you do all day?" I used to feel a teensy-weensy bit irritated with this question, as if they thought… Continue reading A Day in the Life

Ready or Not, 2025 Is Upon Us!

Happy New Year! Remember when we were rolling up on 2000 (Y2K) and we were sure the world was going to end? Or was that just me?
