Two years ago we made our first trek to Creede, Colorado. Kimberly and Craig could not go. Tommie joined us for the trip. This year Patty and I take our first vacation just the two of us. Sounds like a song. We will venture down these streets a few times over the next several days. [...]

Quiet around here …
Life is full of good intentions. I have a number for this little blog. Schedules seem to interfere. I will have some time to write and reflect while on vacation later in the week and over the weekend. There could be a flurry of posts to follow once refreshed in the cool mountain air.
