My family is traveling for Christmas, but we didn't want this day to go by unnoticed. My daughter and I worked on this card last night. It was a fun mother and daughter project, and it comes from our hearts. I took this pricture earlier this year, and we thought it would make the perfect Christmas Card. On this special day may you find Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men. Have a wonderful day.     Debbie, Dan and Sierra Cedaredge, Colorado Christmas 2012 12/25/2012

Everything is Moving a Bit Slower Than Usual. Or maybe I should say, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. While we only got a few inches of snow, it's enough to make driving dangerous. The falling snow really boosted my Christmas Spirit. I always look forward to the first couple of snowfalls every year. We are experiencing a winter drought in my area of Western Colorado. Our snow packs are way behind normal, and we need the water to fill the lakes and reservoirs for next year's irrigation water and drinking water. So I'm not complaining...just explaining.   I know you all in Minnesota got quite a bit more snow than we did, but when it covers the roads like this, it doesn't matter how much is on the ground...it's still dangerous driving. Plus it's cold. It was only 10 degrees thi... 12/11/2012

It Was A Nice Fire Truck Parade...Cedaredge High School Celebrates State Championship. That how we do things here in Cedaredge. We bring out all the fire trucks and parade them down Main Street. This parade was in honor of our State Champion Football Team. The team got a ride on the trucks and most of the people in town took a break from what they were doing to show their support. You can't hear all the clapping, because the sirens are so loud. Several years ago, The Cedaredge Bruins came close to a state championship, but had to settle for second place. This year the team went all the way. It's the first ever state championship for our football team. The town is really behind these young men and there are congratulation signs up all over town.        One of Grand Junction's TV stations... 11/27/2012

Nestled at the base of Grand Mesa, the world's largest flat top mountain, Aspen Trails Campground is NOT your everyday campground. Aspen Trails Campground has a gift shop with locally crafted gifts. There's also a deli and an ice cream shop. The ice cream is the best around, and the sandwiches are fantastic, too. The locals often take their lunch break at Aspen Trails Campground just to enjoy a great sandwich. I try to stay away from the ice cream, because I don't want to get addicted to it. At Aspen Trails Campground you can do more than camp. There are tent spaces available, but there are also large RV spaces with ful... 11/21/2012

Heckel and Jeckel Go To Camp...or Bear and Jazzy go to the kennel. While we are on vacation our dogs are getting a vacation of sorts, too, but I'm sure they don't look at it that way. They get to stay at Happy Tails Pet Lodge for a week. The dynamic duo didn't pose too well for this picture. They were both a bit worked up about what was going on and distracted as well. Jazzy is the dog that was dumped in our rural area five years ago. Bear is the beast on the right. Bear is not quite a year old, and Jazzy is somewhere between 7 and 9 years old. We'll never know about her past except she was badly abused and she's come a long way with her trust issues since we took her in. She was also never allowed in a house. The first day we got her off the street, it took three of us to get her in th... 11/18/2012

Cedaredge Bruins Are Going to the State Football Championship Game. The Cedaredge, Colorado High School Football Team won its playoff game in grand fashion and will advance to the final game of the state playoffs. The boys in blue beat the Hotchkiss Bulldogs, who also put on a fine show. Both Cedaredge and Hotchkiss are in Delta County.   The final score was 16-12. The Bulldogs had homefield advantage, but that wasn't enough to stop the Cedaredge Bruins. The Bruins were playing without their starting quarterback who was out with an injury. Cedaredge and Hotchkiss are both small towns and in division 1A.   Out of four high school football teams in Delta County, three of them made it to the state playoffs. Besides Cedaredge and Hotchkiss, the Delta Panthers also made it to the playoffs in... 11/17/2012

The Cedaredge High School Bruins Face a Big State Playoff Football Game...that's this weekend against the Hotchkiss Bulldogs in Hotchkiss at 1PM. Both schools are in Delta County and have played outstanding football this year. This is normally a big rivalry, but it just got bigger with the state championship division 1A game on the line. In the regular season, Cedaredge beat Hotchkiss, but only by one point. Both teams won big last week. Cedaredge shut out Monte Vista and Hotchkiss took a mid game lead against Limon and never let go. This picture was taken at last week's game. Cedaredge has the blue uniforms. The weather turned to winter, but this weekend the skies should be clear with temps in the mid 50s. That's perfect football weather.   Cedaredge High School is putting together a S... 11/15/2012

More State Playoff Action Ahead For The Cedaredge, CO Bruins Football Team. The Cedaredge High School Bruins shut out Monte Vista on a windy, cold and often times snowy football field. The game was also well attended by visiting Monte Vista fans. The final score was 18-0. The fans were just as rugged as the team and very few of them left at half time when the score was still only 6-0 and it was anybody's game. This is the first winter weather we've experienced this season. The stands were lined with parka clad fans wrapped up in blankets sipping hot chocolate, but the weather didn't do anything to minimize the enthusiasm. It seemed that more people attended this game than last week's game where the temps were in the low 60s. In looking back, that was quite balmy compared to today's wea... 11/10/2012

One Thing I'm Thankful For Keeps Me Warm and Wanting To Come Home. No this isn't one of my treasured pets, or my husband. Sorry Dan, but you can't do the job this thing does. This thing had been on my wish list for a couple of years. This special thing was a gift from someone that didn't have time to appreciate it's benefits. It's my hot tub.   This was a gift from the neighbor, of a seller, that I've gotten to know. He's a neat guy and only lives in the area part time. His wife is pretty cool, too.  He gave me the hot tub, and just wanted to see someone have it that would enjoy it. It really is the gift that keeps on giving. I love soaking and watching the moon rise over our mountains, and I love a relaxing Sunday afternoon soak, when I know there's no more work to be done for the rest... 11/06/2012

The Top 10 Signs You Live In A Rural Area during hunting season. Living in a rural area has its advantages, and disadvantages, during hunting season.   10) Your real estate signs are still used for target practice and this becomes more frequent around hunting season. "Hey Bud, see if you can hit the letter R on that sign over there." 9) Your child's school schedule is made so fall break happens during prime hunting season. 8) All the deer coming running to your yard, because it's hunting season, and they KNOW you won't shoot them. ( at least at my house, and I think the deer have us on their list of safe places ) 7) The three restaurants you have in town are closed on the weekend and two of them are also closed on Monday. One or all of them may even close for longer if the hunting is re... 11/04/2012
