OK...The Jury is Still Deliberating, but I'm Going to Overrule Them After spending three days with Dog, I can't find myself living without him. He's amazing. It almost broke my heart on Sunday when I gave him a toy. He looked like a kid that had never received a Christmas present. He gutted the thing in just a few hours. I'm letting him keep the stuffing in his cage as a souvenir. He's still chewing on the hide. That dog even caused me to get my lazy butt out of bed early this morning and to take a few laps around the park with him. It kind of reminded me of high school and those early morning cross country practices. I didn't run, but I walked really fast. Dog is getting the hang of leash manners and we worked on those, too.  I had to update this situation, because I'm still getting qu... 02/09/2015

2nd Annual Cedaredge Shelter Crock Pots for Critters...Another Big Success For the second year in a row, the Cedaredge Shelter hosted another grand fundraiser with the Crock Pot for Critters event. The volunteers worked for weeks collecting donations from local businesses and residents. A special thanks goes out to those businesses and people who donated their time, money and services to make this event another big success.  My good friend, Sue Shelton, worked hard selling tickets and collecting prizes and donations. Sue received over a $1,000 in prize and monetary donations. She also sold over 65 event tickets. Sue is a very special person to do what she does for the animals.  What is really amazing about Crock Pot for Critters is the wonderful food. I thought it would be a lot of bean... 02/08/2015

Am I Getting a Dog? The Jury is Still Deliberating It's a jury of two, and I don't think we are going to have an answer today. They are quite upset at the having their happy, quiet home disturbed.  Many of you read about the dog I found, Monday night, running loose behind my office. This poor guy was treated badly and now needs a new home. I'm hoping it will be mine, but I have two others to consider. It's the feline contingency that will have the last say.  Aslan and Chloe have had things their way for a year a half. They don't want anything to change. Life is good. Today I really turned their world upside down when I brought a dog into the house.  Here's Chloe. If I could read her mind, she's probably saying...You brought WHAT into this house? Make it go away. I think she will be the ... 02/07/2015

The End of a Long Work Week and Another Cedaredge Sunset It was one of those action packed weeks, and for that I'm thankful. I actually received three leads off of my blog over the last week. That's terrific. All of the action wore me out. I'm about ready to fall asleep at my desk.  I'm also thankful that I might have the weekend off. There's a lot going on in town, and it might be fun to get out and socialize. The animal shelter is having it's annual fundraiser. If you are looking for something to do outdoors, the weather has been beautiful. The warm temperatures should carry through the weekend. There's the Sled Dog Races on Grand Mesa. There's also the Ice Fishing Derby at Island Lake.  I'm looking forward to spending time outdoors...even if I only get as far as my patio. It will be ... 02/06/2015

Here's an Update on the Dog I Found Yesterday Many of you read yesterday's post about the dog I found behind my office. I called the Cedaredge Animal Shelter today to find out how the dog was doing, and if an owner had come forward. The volunteer, who answered the phone, told me the dog was gone, and the owner had more than likely come to get it. I let it go. This wasn't meant to be. I just knew this lovely animal had to have an owner that cared about him. Now I know I was wrong.  A couple of hours later, I get a call from Michelle, the animal control officer. Apparently there was a breakdown in communication and the dog is still at the shelter. He was gone for a while today, because she took him to the vet to get the wounds on his ear treated. He isn't seriously hurt, but the cuts are ... 02/03/2015

Look What I Found Today Just when I was wondering what to write about tonight, this handsome guy walks into my life. He just wandered into my life from out of the dark nowhere. I know that sounds a bit romantic, but it's true. He came out of the darkness and right to me. I've kind of been looking for someone like him. He's tall, dark and handsome and so cute.  I think he found me so much as I found him. OK...I know it's a dog, but I love dogs. This guy is a beauty, and he's already on the tall side and not even full grown. As much as I wanted to take him home with me...I didn't. I called the local police and they put me in touch with the animal control officer. It was after hours so I was lucky to get this situation taken care of.  This dog is injured. It's not serious, but his neck has... 02/02/2015

Super Bowl Sunday with Clara Last football season I wrote about watching almost every Denver football game with my football buddy Clara. This season I didn't get to see too many games with her, and I felt bad about that. Clara is now 82 years old. I decided I couldn't let this Super Bowl go by without spending time with Clara. I turned down a few game party invitations with good food and beer to spend the game with her. I don't regret that. We had a great time.   While Clara isn't doing well physically, she is still very sharp. She really impresses me. We had fun watching the commercials, although she doesn't understand some of them, and they move too fast for her. That's why I'm there. I explain them to her. It's not her mind...it's a generational thing. She doesn't understand the new ... 02/01/2015

The Silos of Cedaredge and the Bar I Ranch There are three silos that once stood tall on the Bar I Ranch in Cedaredge, CO. They used to be filled with chopped corn stalks to feed the sheep. Now the silos still stand tall and they are still on the site of the old Bar I Ranch. While the ranch is now gone, it has left behind a legacy. Pioneer Town fills part of the space that use to be the Bar I Ranch.  The silos mark the entrance to Pioneer Town. These aren't your typical silos. What makes them unique is the stacked wood construction and multi sides. Two of them are nine sided and one is eleven sided. The inside of them was lined with concrete, and that's part of the reason they are still here today.  These silos are extremely rare. Most wooden silos don't last that long, because they are... 01/22/2015

Another Celestial Moment from Western Colorado Driving home has gotten me some great photographs this week. Tonight I pulled over to take this picture.    The full moon is almost here. I loved the mix of the colors in the sky, and the tree branches add perspective.  This was another serendipitous moment for me. I was racking my brain to figure out what to write about tonight. I didn't want to do a market report, and my other ideas seemed weak.

The Best Sunset Reflection...Serendipity Sunday I have never seen a sunset reflection quite like this one. The reflection actually went straight up to the sky as the sun was setting behind the mountains. This was really an amazing site.  This was truly a serendipitous moment. I happened to be driving home from a New Year's party, today, when I saw this reflection. It snowed fairly hard for the first part of the day, and around the time the sun was setting, the storm lifted and created this wonderful scene.  I should add...I know it's not Sunday, but it feels like one due to the holiday.  I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 24 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a REALTOR®, I also love to share my expertise in thi... 01/01/2015

I Love a Good View...Serendipity Sunday If you open your eyes, you never know what you might see around you. I love where I live because Mother Nature offers so many photo opportunities.

I hope you enjoy this picture.  I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 24 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home.

Scenes from Cedaredge, CO Christmas 2014 It was a slow day all over town in Cedaredge for Christmas. That's not out of the ordinary for this holiday. There wasn't a car parked on Main Street. Not even Sandy's Mazada Miata. No businesses were open and there was less traffic than usual. Just the occasional car heading down the road to somewhere else. Cedaredge is a small mountain town with a population of about 1800 people. You don't expect much to happen around here on a holiday like Christmas.    We didn't really have a white Christmas. I would call it more half and half. It started to snow this morning like we might get some accumulation, but the temperatures hovered around the mid 30's for the day, and the snow mostly melted when it hit the ground. The clouds settled in and it snowed ... 12/25/2014
