If anyone watched Sunday Night Football, you were quite entertained!   The Broncos played the Washington Commanders, and the Broncos had quite the edge, or so the commentators had said!Well, if you watched, you would have not believed any of it.  There were times the Commanders were ahead of us.  The game was entertaining, and both teams made mistakes and both teams made really good plays.Bo Nix threw a pass SIDEWAYS, and the player caught it, and the Commanders QB threw a pass way downfield, and their player caught it.  Two really good plays.The Broncos won due to Bonitto's ability to deflect a pass that would have given the Commanders the extra two points, and they would have won.All this, and the fans were on the edge the whole game, blood pressure issues and all!   Reading comments ...

This is my third entry for the November Challenge, and thanks to Lynn B. Friedman CRS Atlanta, GA 404-617-6375 for hosting this month's challenge. Living in Colorado, you have so much to be thankful for!   This year (like last year), the weather has been SO nice.   Many times this month, we were warmer here in Denver than parts of the South (70 degrees most of the last 2 weeks)!    Full sun and beautiful!   We probably will pay for this wonderful weather, as without snow, our ski resorts suffer, but luckily, today, they are getting some, and there is more scheduled this week.   Also, without moisture, we see fires, which we have been lucky and haven't had many the last few years.Also, living in Denver, we have ALL the professional sports teams, and this year (other than baseball - the R...

Thank you to Core Title in Canon City for providing the collection site for Oklahoma City school donations of hats, scarves and gloves.  Dear Friends and Community Members, I’m reaching out to share an important need and ask for your support. My sister works as a sign language interpreter at an inner-city high school in Oklahoma City, where many of the students face difficult circumstances. The school will soon be receiving a generous donation of coats and blankets—items that are desperately needed. However, these students are still in need of hats, gloves, and scarves to stay warm through the coming winter. If you are able to help by donating new or gently used hats, gloves, or scarves, your kindness would make a meaningful difference. I am currently arranging a local collection site, ...

 The Town of Larkspur is located 40 miles south of Denver and West of I-25.   The town was incorporated in 1979 and today is known for the Renaissance Festival held every year in Larkspur and the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Campground.   Most homes in Larkspur are on lots of one acre or more and surrounded by trees.   You will see lots of wildlife - deer, mountain lions, bears (brown & black), foxes, coyotes, and lots of birds.  Going to the grocery store will require a trip to Castle Rock, and depending on where in the town you live, it could be 15 minutes.   There isn't much in the "town", but a gas station, post office, three restaurants, and of course, two golf courses with restaurants.   Bear Dance Golf Course is closer to I-25, and Perry Park Golf Course is on the West side of town. Th...
