What am I going to do today?

Uncategorized

Weather! I am going to take care of weather related chores. I KNOW I am not the only person spending time shoveling snow from sidewalks, driveways and cars. Shaking heavy snow from trees and bushes. Checking water lines!
I have been trying to leave town for weeks! The weather, my health and some legal stuff has kept me around Denver, The current plan is to leave next week for Arizona- heading for Quartzsite, AZ. Mother Nature is in charge!

May your holidays be filled with kindness and caring. Hope you are surrounded by people (and animals) that you love and who love you! Gratitude for each moment for each breath! 

Be safe out there!

Prosperity!!!!

During my time in Colorado I met with my technical adviser to take a step further with my travel writing. Plus I am selling pstyles, Doterra oils and pinecone ducks which needed a way to market and purchase. Also wanted a business card and email template to share my blog address, telephone and email while I am traveling. At some point I will be doing instant-gram and have a reliable store on Etsy.

On the Road Again

Travel, Uncategorized

Greetings friends and family who are following me on this adventure called LIFE! I have spent October and November in Colorado. So blessed to have friends who open their homes to me to rest, renew and LIVE. The time in Denver has allowed a Road Scholar
trip to California, doctor & dentist appointments, dealing with insurance after a hit/run on the Subaru,  mourning a dear friend who made Mondays my fAVORITE day of the week, physical what nots- kidney stones, tight muscles- from driving and a fall. 

I am trying to get out of town but the weather had another path so the plan now is to leave on Sunday (11/30/19) and head for Hasty, CO and then on to Canyon, TX. I was aiming for Bloomington, IN but that may have already changed.

For December, I plan on staying in the southern states with possible skirting along the Gulf of Mexico. Heading back to Colorado to spend the first part of January in Lakewood.  Possibly heading to Quartzsite, AZ for part of the winter. 

Road Scholar Trip

Nature, Travel

My Road Scholar trip to the California Delta for watching birds from a boat was amazing. The weather was perfect – 70s. The boat was perfect – shady hanging in the bottom while full sun / weather on the top. The Delta is awesome – Mother Nature at her finest – with mankind needing to provide safety nets to maintain the delta’s gifts. Ecology wise the Delta is suffering! While driving through the midwest I saw RV parks filled 80-90% with permanent residents- vacationers are the exception. In California the RV parks are similar and so are the water ways – marinas, river banks, people living in boats.

While in California I never used private transportation- I used shuttles, Lyft rides and The Bart! Felt liberating!

I only took a few pictures – spent most of my time enjoying the wildlife and the people around me. There was a photographer who did take many pictures. When I get the link to the pictures- I will add the link to my blog!

Road Scholars does an excellent job in creating adventures that incorporates the ecology, reality with nature. I want to take more trips with Road Scholars.

This Body!

Connie

Hello fellow Body’s! My blogs have been personal yet not too much in the way of intimate information. Time to share why the blog has been silent.
I arrived in Lakewood (Susan & Max’s home) from a 5 week RV trip on October 2nd.
I parked MollyG in the back yard and unpacked. My right shoulder ached but I dismissed the pain. On October 4th, I had a prescheduled massage with Tanya at Fractal Massage- https://www.alignable.com/aurora-co/fractal-massage. The massage HURT! My shoulders and my hips were frozen from the 3 days of tense driving in the wind. I have never felt such tension! I have had to spent time, money and intention to work through these BODY issues- as of today October 28th- I can honestly say “I feel fine”. 

On the 9th of October as I moved the van to the front yard the brake pedal went to the floor- so MollyG got NEW shoes! The RV folks came out to check out the fridge which is was working perfectly when the repair guy got here. 

Two weeks ago I found blood in my urine which is the only way I know I have kidney stones since I have NO pain with the three times I have had kidney stones. The stone passed  right after the CAT scan which is the only way to find where the stone was located. I appreciate the fact that I do not have pain with kidney stones! I haven’t had a stone in 8 years so I think the soda pop which I started drinking during the heat of my travels may have triggered the stone- and maybe sitting rigidly for three days was also a factor. 

As you can see the time here in Colorado has had it’s own challenges. So grateful for a body that works well most of the time, heals quickly and lets me know when I need to slow down and enjoy the adventure.

Hello Friends, A quick update to future travels. Keep in mind my life can and does change quickly (same as everyone else). I LOVE visiting with friends and family when I am in town- please reach out if you would like to connect.

I am currently in Lakewood Colorado staying with Susan, Max and kitty Cleo. I fly to California on November 9th- 14th for a Road Scholar adventure – see attached picture with boat and program cover.

Upcoming trip

When I get back to Colorado I am planning on driving the van south- depending on the weather. I am heading EAST for Thanksgiving. December will be spent in the warmth of the southern states. I am planning on being in Colorado for Christmas and January.
