Back from Colorado

I just returned this past weekend from Colorado. I was both in Denver and Colorado Springs where Stormy Winters and I traipsed throughout the many interesting sites in search of more story for our second novel in the Stormy Winters Mystery series, Shadowed in the Springs.

I had fun and met many nice and helpful people along the way. The weather was pretty good, though the snow and ice did get in the way a few times, such as when my sister slipped and fell on a patch of ice bruising her knees (sorry, sis) as we bravely made our way along a mountain path as a cold wind whipped at our face threatening to freeze us solid before we completed our quest.

Over all it was lovely to be back in the Rockies once more. I have lived in both Denver and the Springs in the past and love them both! After many pages of notes and quite a few photos, I think the pages of Shadowed in the Springs should prove quite intriguing.

Happy New Year To All!

Well, here it is 2008 -- another new year just peaking over the horizon. A new opportunity to begin anything we set our mind to. A time to start out on our journey, set challenges, and bring about improvements in our lives.

I will be working on two main things this year, plus a few side ones. The first is to bring more order to my life and that of my family. Life can get so very hectic and spin out of control at times. I plan to work on this the best I can and bring more order to things around us. Of course, life always throws in its little surprises now and then, but one must learn to roll with those punches. The second thing is to get out and get more exercise. This is a must for me and will definitely help me to think clearer to continue on with my writing.

We had a lot going on in December, so I didn't get to write in this blog as I had planned. I want to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas any way. I hope you all had the chance to be with family and friends at this special time of year. I did and loved every minute of it!

Let me know a few of the things you will be working on this year. I would love to hear from you.
