    FinTalks Weekend 2023!

    Hi Gram,I just finished a weekend with friends that blew my mind. I built new memories, reconnected with friends that I’ve met in person, saw friends that I had previously only seen online, learned a lot, felt a warmth in my soul and in my heart of having multiple buckets filled at once. I laughed,…

    The week Between

    Hi Gram,The past few days have been delightful for me to live, but not all that exciting for anyone to read about. Wednesday, I slept in and recovered from the previous few days then met my friend Katelyn at a brewery for games. We were going to go for a walk, but the rain changed…

  • Monday Fun Day!

    Monday Fun Day!

    Hi Gram!Wow, after such an intense and memorable weekend, I would have been satisfied to just relish the memories and unwind a little. That’s not my style, though. My original plan was to give Emma a ride to get her rental car, then meet up with some other friends later. As we were leaving, though,…

    Friends, Hiking, Camp

    Hi Gram!I had such a fun-packed weekend, I don’t even know where to begin describing all the fun I had! I mean… I know where to begin.. at the start, then chronologically to avoid confusion… what I mean is that I’m bursting at the seams to tell you all about everything, all at once! The…

    Learning to Relax

    Hi Gram,The past few days have been a good chance to relax and recharge my batteries. I went for a ride on Sunday, made more beautiful with the mountains off in the distance, then hung out with John and Amberly. Monday, I decided to go for a walk to Target. It was a little further…

    Denver Feels Good

    Hi Gram,I’ve been having such a great time here! My friends and I have engaging conversations, they’re supportive and happy, and they’ve introduced me to new ideas, sights, and experiences. Tuesday morning, my alarm clock got snoozed a few times before I reluctantly agreed to allow reality to enter. I got up and did my…

  • Ooh, Mountains!

    Ooh, Mountains!

    Hi Gram,Monday morning I packed up and left so the cleaners could come transform her home into a showcase for potential buyers. We initially thought they would be there at 10am, but she got notice the night before that it would be somewhere between 8:30-9:30, probably closer to 9. Luckily, we were almost wrapped up…

    Hockey, Hiking, and Hugs

    Hi Gram,I had a pleasant weekend. I got up Saturday and had a leisurely morning chatting with Nicki as she de-personalized the house for the real estate sales pictures. I sat reading my book and keeping her company, and occasionally admonishing her for carrying a heavy box or piece of furniture without asking me for…

  • The Wonderful Unwinding

    The Wonderful Unwinding

    Hi Gram,I’ve been in Arvada for five days now and I haven’t done much of note. I get up every morning, do my morning routine of vitamins and medicine, brain exercises, Duolingo, stretches or yoga, yada yada, I won’t bore you with the details. I go for a walk or bike ride, update the blog,…
