Day 35 – lazy day We might have booked a bit too long in Sundance…but we also padded rest time into our trip (along with short/easy driving days). We started the day with a Dutch Baby, which is like an enormously fluffy pancake/crepe. Thank you, Acre Homestead, for teaching me what these are! Day 36…

Denver Festivals
Denver Pride We walked down and spent Saturday at Denver Pride with some friends from our building and some of their people. It was only 85º, but with too little shade and this close to the sun, the day was pretty dang brutal. ouch! Still, it was a lot of fun. The best tshirts we…
City services artwork
We had to go to a city services building a few days ago. Getting in was not easy. I had to empty most of my purse and E set off the detector by existing, apparently. We ran our little errand and then admired the wonderful artwork up one wall of the space. We even took…
The 15L
The driver of 15L was already my favorite* driver of all time.
Snur
six inches is expected!
And yet…

The Great Flash Flood
Meetup. We do love them, but they can be rough on organizers. Our recent Sunday one was no exception. It was to be Jazz at the Park (the last one of the season) at 5:30. Then, it was supposed to rain from 2pm until like the next day or something. So, Organizer M moved it…
RV project: trading the sofa for cabinets and a counter.
The 2021 motorhome we bought in 2020 was designed to sleep 6-8 people. Of course, that’s assuming some of them are kids and assuming some of them don’t expect to actually sleep. We ordered the overhead queen bunk and found it to be a giant waste of money. The mattress is thin and terribly uncomfortable….
FREEzer?
Inspired by some neighbors who own a dry cleaning appliance (what? who knew those existed?), we ordered a small-ish freezer. I (L) do some freezer cooking, especially as we prep for RV trips, and a decent amount of frozen food preservation (onions, celery, herbs, ginger, broth, beans, etc.) and we are constantly having to “Tetris”…

She died all alone in her apartment under pretty bad circumstances.
