I’ve been doing well!

I miss Texas, but Colorado is a beautiful place to live and it’s somewhat cooler than Texas. :-)

How about you?

I just retired from my job about 3 weeks ago and am LOVIN’ it! :)

Colorado is so beautiful. My son and family are probably moving to Wyoming soon. Yikes! That’s way too far for me to drive.

Howdy, radu! Callie and I have been watching those silly owls...and the parents. When they are in the box, it’s pretty darn crowded! She loves them. I make up voices for them and she laughs and laughs. :)
