Celebrating the Season

Tour 3; Number two for me

Long time; no blog

No travels and attending to my work season has me longing for a blogging opportunity! So here we go! Summer was filled with taking care of business at BoCo Sluice Box as well as our home and rental properties. Preparations for the celebration of our…

Denver days

After landing we said our good byes to the kids and made our way to get our truck from the Red Lion parking lot and get to our room at the Doubletree, always a worthwhile chain in our experience. My honey had more biz and we had our…
