Well, we are glad to have you- I try to be nice to everyone, and I was raised to believe that being honest, straightforward and friendly is the way to go.

AAAWWWWW, Bless you!! I grew up in Denver!!! Boy, Minnesota is a change from Colorado!!!
Well, that is how life goes, right?!?.....My Mom and her companion, my children's grandpa, as they knew him, both passed in 2009, within 2 1/2 months. It was hard, but they were both very sick, and now they are not- that's how we look

at it
I spent a lot of time taking care of them before they passed, and am so thankful for that time, even though it was hard, and very tiring! We miss them, but feel great that they are no long suffering!

my 5 yr old asked for her own chickens so we talked and got him ee chicks cause she says easter makes chickens more fun.. and laughs at the colored eggs they got from my great aunt evie.. i will miss certain parts of colorado.. denver is nice.. but i do miss the lakes. also watching suffering is what hurts the heart.. its always better to not have to see the suffering any more. i dont know how im going to do it all but man im going to try

You can only do what you can do- I'm sure you will handle it well!! Just take it one single day at a time-
I love love love my EE!! I love seeing all those different colored eggs too! They are mostly very sweet birds, as well!!
Colo Spgs is so beautiful!! Lots to see and do near there!! Garden of the Gods is one of my favorite places, ever!! We used to go camping at South Park, but I know they dammed that area years ago, and now the places that we used to go are all under water! Have they gotten that Black Forest fire under control yet?
I always thought Denver was a pretty city, but I miss the mountains so much! Would be great if there were ocean nearby.....LOL

LOL- so your family is like mine- gap in ages? LOL
I don't sweat it!! i'd rather have wisdom than youth- sucks that we can't have both at the same time.....

My 15 yo picks blackberries here in the summer- I came home last week and she had made a blackberry pie!!! I was amazed! She didn't like the taste of it, but I thought it was perfect!! I don't like it too sweet, and I think she would have liked it sweeter, but tasted just like black berry pie to me!!!!
