Retired and Enjoying Life, Day by Day!

It has been a busy week - selling my house and my car, a "going away/retirement/birthday" party with friends, and my official birthday yesterday.  WHEW!   THANK YOU for so many of you that took time to comment on my Facebook page, here in the Q & A, text, send an ecard or call me.   It all meant ...

When looking for an Airbnb, I probably don't do as much research, as I usually am not staying very long.  This stay was for two weeks, and I probably should have made sure to read the reviews.   I am staying in the walk-out basement, which has been converted to a one-bedroom apartment with a full...

It is May 6th, 2026, and should be Spring?    Thinking we have 5-6" of snow outside and 30 degrees at 7:50 am.  Goodness.  We had warmer weather in February.   It is supposed to continue snowing until 2 pm today.   65 tomorrow and 69 on Friday!  I was laughing this morning, thinking this is my "s...

It has been a very busy two weeks, emptying the house, dealing with the flakes on Marketplace, then having Habitat come and pick up more of my stuff.  When I took last photos of the empty home, it did bring a tear.  It was a good home for almost 8 years.Today, the new buyers will have a new house...

It is May, at least on the calendar, but Mother Nature will be going crazy tomorrow.   Denver is expecting 2-6"of snow, and up to 15" in parts of the mountains.   We couldn't beg for snow in February/March, but just wait until MAY!It should start tonight in the form of rain, and change to snow to...

Happy Sunday in May!It IS a happy Sunday to me too, as my house is ready for the new buyer.   SO much to get done this past week, and my body feels it, but also feels good to be done.  I don't have to go over today, so going to lunch with one of my best friends!  Tomorrow is closing, and will sel...

In Denver February and March, we enjoyed many days in the 80's and even into the 90's!   Barely a snowflake, no rain, just beautiful blue skies.Now that it is April/May we are seeing colder weather, some snow, rain and even mushy hail.    I had already contacted CarMax to buy my car a few months ...

I have for YEARS one week prior to closing - sent them an email with all the details.  Who to call for the utilities, do a change of address, where the closing will be with all the details and when their walk thru will be.   Plus, disconnect from all SMART items in the house and also - don't forg...

It is getting SO close, I can taste it!   Fun to see all the beautiful photos that I will be enjoying in person SOON!    There are many places within Sintra that I have not seen.  I remember driving North out of Lisbon, but for some reason, did not explore this City.   ON MY LIST!This is the Nati...

The news anchors were saying Denver was "behind the times" as our bars were closing at 2 am.   Funny, I thought that was late enough!A draft proposal for Denver's Department of Licensing & Consumer Protection will be presented to the Denver City Council and will need their approval before going i...
