vail colorado: Happy Memorial Day from Vail, CO - 05/28/12 04:38 AM
Happy Memorial Day from Vail, CO! 
Today we remember those who have lost their lives serving in the United States Armed Forces.  Growing up, I would go to the cemetery with my Mom to decorate our loved one’s stones.  Today I plan to plant my flower beds and will send good positive thoughts to those I’ve lost, and to my friends and relatives currently serving.
The sun is shining in Vail and families are out enjoying the day…

vail colorado: Vail, CO Off-Season Fun... My Office Goes Bowling! - 10/25/11 07:40 AM
I have to say, I just love the office I’m in at Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate.  We are located right in the heart of Vail Village at the new Solaris.  This residential and commercial building, which was completed last summer, has quickly become the buzz of Vail Village. 
With galleries, shops, a local coffee house, movie theatre and bowling alley, Solaris is a fun place to be.  An outdoor ice skating rink in the winter which turns to a grassy field for children to play in the summer is at the center of the courtyard.
So, with an … (6 comments)

vail colorado: It's great to be a dog living in Vail, CO! - 07/19/11 10:28 AM
This is “Miss Maude”.  My husband and I rescued her 10 years ago from a crowded, hot shelter in Savannah, GA.  She’s been an incredible companion, and I just wanted to share this photo I took of her while we were hiking together over the weekend.  She is a true Southern Lady, but look at her totally rocking the mountains of Colorado and lovin’ it!

It was another beautiful weekend in the mountains of Vail, Colorado!  I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy the sunshine a bit.  It was my husband’s birthday on Saturday so we headed out to Piney Lake, north of Vail for a lovely afternoon hike.
 

 
We had fun, but I think our dogs had the most fun.

Nearly one year ago, I made the move to Slifer Smith & Frampton’s newest office in the all-new Solaris building in Vail Village.  I never would have thought this area could grow so much in just one year.  Today’s headline in the local Vail Daily reads:
 
 
 
 

Vail Village is one of the most beautiful, fun, exciting, active places I’ve ever been.  And to be a part of the new “Center of Vail” is absolutely exhilarating.  Each day, I walk past Yeti’s Grind coffee shop and the North Face store on the way to my office.  There … (0 comments)
