June 15, 2023 While we are in Golden, we’ve been reorganizing our basement storage. We put some items in our storage unit and donated others. I also went through the kitchen and removed items I hadn’t used in a while. Bruce removed the outside television and gave it to a friend. He plans to use […]

Read More Dinner in the Evening and then Driving from Ellis, Kansas to Golden, Colorado the Next DayJune 3, 2023 This morning (Saturday), we walked over to the Grateful Bread Bakery in Golden, CO.

Read More Out of Order Post – Another FallJune 2, 2023 Since we had some time before our dinner invitation on May 20th, we decided to check out the Fort Hays Historical Site.
