Starting 2022 with so much hope for how this year will be better than the last two! Again, hoping covid goes
away.

| Celebrating the new year with Terri & Kent has become a tradition. We got together on NY Day because of heavy snow, a little depression over the Marshall Fire, and very cold weather on NY Eve. |
Fire: On January 30, we had horrendous winds and we had NO rain or snow for months so conditions were extremely dry. When the Marshall fire started east of Boulder, there was no stopping it. By the end of the day, much of Marshall and Louisville had burned to the ground. Over 1000 structures, mostly houses, were consumed as were over 1400 vehicles. Devastating! The next day, New Year's Eve, we got heavy snow.
Very sad start to this new year.

I am finally posting this post in August... I'm not so good at updating my blog I guess. ha ha.
This year Scott and I have many trips planned. And we hope to see friends and family often too. And, we have a front yard landscaping project scheduled! Can't wait to get it going and get it done.
Some notes:
I will run every Sunday that I am here with my Dirty Girlz! I look forward to that Sunday tradition of a trail run and coffee whenever I am home. It's getting harder to jump into a run at altitude after travel though. Argh.. Nanci isn't running so much anymore but comes to walk. Sarah had a needed hip replacement and will get another replaced this year. Jen runs with us now and got a new job in Boulder. Melinda"s son is moving out of the house and then out of state. Transitions... Ann continues to sub, travel, and stay very busy. Steph and Steve and traveling a lot and enjoying life.
Scott's daughter, Lisa, had neck surgery and wants to learn to sew in her recovery time. I got her started on a table runner project. She chose a difficult pattern, fabric she loved, and did a great job. She's already an over-achiever.
Looking forward to another family vacation with my sister and kids. This time we are joining them in Florida in winter!
Scott's niece Megan in Virginia had another baby girl. Rich takes care of kids and manages their Airbnbs. We want to visit this year and meet those other kids.
Scott's mom Marilyn is adjusting to her new home at Heritage Woods Assisted Living in Moline, IL. She was willing to move there but it will take time to adjust. We hope she makes friends and loves it.
I visit my former sister-in-law, Lynn, at Brookdale in Boulder when I am home. She's slowing down but has such a happy attitude. I take her out and she always says "this is like getting out of jail, there's a whole other world out here". Then we laugh. She's a sassy lady.
I hope to see my step-daughter Buffy with some regularity since she's in Broomfield, and my granddaughter Teanna in Denver area. Granddaughter Danyelle in California is going to have a baby in July!!! So excited for her and Tyler. And granddaughter Jaymie is in her last year of college. She and Ezra have done some traveling and are waiting to have kids. Ezra is working for Fidelity now while finishing college. They are all doing great.
