The Love of a Dad

How important is the love of a father?  We can't pick our father's here on earth.  Many are just hurt souls and don't know the love of a father.  I have been blessed to be "Daddy's little girl".

From the time I was very small, my Daddy would let me ride on his back up and down the hall.  This led to when I was 3 to going on my first pack trip.  I rode my own horse and when I was tired my Daddy would put me in front of him on his saddle and we'd keep on riding.  My Daddy showed me how to love.  My parents were married for 62 years and never once did I see them fight or raise their voices to each other.  I always knew that my Daddy was there to save me from life's hurts and get me headed straight again.

We all have this kind of Daddy.  God wants us to climb in His lap. God loves us MORE than any person could. Life is way short so please tell the people around you that you love them.  Send a text, go visit them, write them a letter.  It's time to bury the hatchet and remember it's a new day to show we care.   Thank you Daddy God for welcoming my Daddy on earth home!

Absolute Bakery

We are very fortunate to have the Absolute Bakery in downtown Mancos.  If you want to feel connected just come to the bakery.  You will find locals who meet regularly and if you happen to be alone will invite you to their table.  You will have instant friends!

The food is delicious!  Prepared from scratch and using locally grown veggies make it amazing.  My breakfast favorite is "the stack".  Yum!!

The bakery is located in an old 100 year old bank building decorated with all kinds of art from local artists. Debbie Doty who paints lovely scenery and wood carvings by Dave Sipe are my favorites!

Don't forget to grab a cookie, or homemade bread before you leave!  It's a must stop for visitors and locals.

Peaceful living in Mancos!

I am fortunate to help these clients sell this beautiful home.  Tucked in the shadow of Mesa Verde National Park this home overlooks the Mancos Valley and is the epitome of peaceful living.  The courtyard is filled with color, vibrant and soothing to our souls. 

 Each day I barely can get on my shoes without my old lab attacking me since she knows its time to go for a walk.  This is my time to breathe in the peace and clean air.  Raising teenagers is tough and taking time to unwind is crucial for me.  Having a balanced life of work and play is way easier in Mancos.  No traffic jams unless you call the occasional cattle drive, one stop light, and always a friendly face to speak with at the coffee shop are just a few of the reasons I love Mancos.  Want to escape the rat race?  I'd love to help!!
