Fore! North America » United States » Colorado » Denver By GlamazonJune 10th 2007Paris BoundAnother beautiful day in the Mile-City! This morning, Gary and I - along with his brother, Randy, and mom, Carol - hit the course at The Homestead about three or four miles from our house. It doesn't really get much better than this and, honestly, the pictures don't do the real thing justice. Gary surprised me with a new golf bag at the course - it's pink and sassy! xoxo S... read more

Howdy! I took a few days off following the Memorial Day weekend to get my chill on - ahhh! I had great ambitions about getting some writing and French lessons in, but... All's not lost though as I've done a good bit of reading; Candide, The Beauties and the Furies, and some short stories by Jean Rhys (whom I'm enjoying quite a bit). Gary and I spent a couple of hours toodling around downtown. I pretended I was a tourist and took lots of pictures (this is a travel blog - right?). If you want to see all the pix we took today in the city, click on the GALLERY icon on my homepage (the page with the countdown timer on it). Double click on the image under DENVER to open up the album (there ... read more

Ok, so this is going to be slightly boring, as I haven't actually gone anywhere yet. I may post some pics to keep everyone occupied until the real fun starts. I'm just setting this up so I can cross another thing off my list. For those friends that I haven't spoken with for awhile, I know that I'm awful at livejournal and I expect to be a bit better about this. At least when I'm going someplace interesting. Here's my itinerary just in case someone is going to be in the area while I'm there and I don't know about it and we should meet up: June 3 - fly to Canada (spend time with friends and family in Toronto area mostly, for those of you near Brockville I'll be there in August!) June 14-17 - ... read more

It finally looks like the skies are ready to part a bit and let the sun shine after two days of blahhhh. I took Baylie for a walk this morning and saw the hugest coyote I've ever seen. He was as big as a golden retriever - yikes! He stared at me as he crossed the street and hiked up a neighbor's drive, "I'm just doing my own thing here, no need to panic. Although, that little dog of yours looks mighty tasty!" Thankfully Baylie's bangs keep him partially blind so he didn't even notice. That would have been a good time, I'm sure. I was reading about Sarkozy's swearing in yesterday. I'm not familiar with the political climate in France, but it seems that Chirac wasn't an entirely effective president (sluggish economy, 8.3% unemployment rate). ... read more

I've been to some pretty cool places in my life, but there is nowhere I'd rather be in the spring than Denver (except maybe Paris!) It's a gorgeous day here; the weather is PERFECT and the birds are singing right outside my window. Everyone seems to be outside today - tending to their yards, washing their cars or talking with neighbors. My son, dad and I played some basketball on the driveway a little bit ago - but I lost them both to video games and a lazy afternoon nap, respectively. It seems all I can do or think about relates to my trip. I'm stressing a little about the language; and the more I learn about things (places, people, culture), the more excited and nervous I get. I'm very much looking forward to visiting Shakespeare ... read more
