Update

This is Pikes Peak what it use to look like before the fire. I am not going to upload what it looks like right now. It will just make me very sad. Steve and I are about 45 minutes South West of Colorado Springs. I lived in Colorado Springs for about 20 years and I still have a lot of friends that live there. Some of them were evacuated and probably some have lost their homes to the Waldo Canyon Fire. The Flying W Ranch that I went to a few times is now gone. I wanted to go back there in the next few months. But it will probably be a few more years until it is back up and running again. Yesterday morning I went through Colorado Springs on my way to Denver and I didn't see anything too bad. On the way home in the middle of the afternoon. I got to Monument (just south of Castle Rock) I saw the smoke. I actually saw a helicopter land to get refilled while I was driving. The smoke was really bad. By the time I got to the south end of Colorado Springs I didn't want to stop to get gas where I usually do. I just wanted to get home to Steve.

Tons of stuff that went on since last time

I have been meaning to update this blog but haven't had the energy to do it.

Right before we went to Grenada my sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl. Over Labor Day Weekend Steve and I went to Fort Collins to go see her.



Then in January over our Anniversary week my parents got us a timeshare up in Estes Park. Then they and my brother from MN came to join us for a few days.





Went to the Stanely Hotel and it was pretty cool.





My brother and his wife and daughter came over one evening to have a small reunion with everybody.










I got to see my Daddy on his Birthday (May 26) this year. My parents or Steve have never gone to see Bishop's Castle. So we went there for the afternoon. It has been about 5 years since I have been there.









I will try to remember to update this blog when things happen a lot quicker next time.
