Cold Weather Has Arrived

November 18, 2021 We’ve had a very warm fall this year in the Denver metro area of Colorado. We would have a few days here and there that would dip down below just freezing at night, but mostly the days were sunny and comfortable, in the 70s and 60s F, with lows in the 50s […]

Moving Day, Back to Dakota Ridge RV Park

October 29, 2021 On Wednesday, we packed up the RV and moved it from Denver Meadows RV Park to Dakota Ridge RV Resort Park. With the cold weather, we don’t expect the loud live bands from across the street at Dakota Ridge RV Park to be a problem. We were also delighted to find that […]

Nox Modeling at Sand Creek Park

September 4, 2021 Yesterday, we took Nox on a walk at Sand Creek Park. At the picnic pavilion, there were some large rectangle stones. We put Nox on one and let her model for us. This is a behind the scenes look at the model Nox! She has to recover from all that walking!

Nox with One Ear!

September 4, 2021 Earlier this week, while I was working out of the house, Nox was rolling about in her bed and folded one ear down. She looked like she was missing an ear. I told her to “shake” and she shook her head. The ear popped up and Nox had two ears again. We […]

Westerly Creek Park

August 29, 2021 Today, we headed over to Westerly Creek Park in the Central Park neighborhood. It is about 4 miles from the Denver Meadows RV park. This park has mostly wide concrete paths that are in good shape. There are some ponds, as well as Westerly Creek. We took Nox with us. She enjoyed […]
