Christmas in Mancos

The Christmas spirit is in full swing in Mancos, Colorado.  Lots of fun this week starting off with the Luminaria's of Mesa Verde National Park on Thursday 4-8pm.  Free admission to go see the ruins lit up. You can also walk down to Spruce Tree House.  If you have never gone, this is a must.   On Friday night at 6pm, Santa arrives in Mancos, there's a 1 mile Rudolph Run/Walk, and free movies for the kids. Stop by my office to warm your hands by my firolito.  Saturday night at 6pm, I am hosting a Wine & Cheese Christmas Party for the Mancos Historical Society.  Come check out my renovated 1893 office building.  Looking  forward to seeing everyone.

Newcomer to Mancos!

Living in a small town in the shadow of Mesa Verde National Park, I meet all kinds of people.  Whether it's sharing a cup of coffee with a local or visitor, I cherish each encounter.  Recently, met a gal moving from Telluride to Mancos. She is a clothing designer, Rahmenn & Co. and has rented office space from me. What a treat to now be wearing her clothing.  It's made out of bamboo and I have a hard time taking it off, since it's so comfy. God continues to put great people into my life just at the right time.  Nice to have made a new friend.   Stop by my office to check out her clothing.

Teamwork

What a blessing to be able to go to my son's games.  Basketball is one of my favorites.   I love seeing the boys smile when they make a basket.   The joys of childhood-no worries and  the comfort of knowing that your loved.   Teamwork happens just not in sports.  On the job and especially at home if everyone gives 110% it makes for a happy environment.

Alternative Medicine

Colorado is one of a handful of states that has legalized marijuana.  I voted no.   Did I really know the benefits of medicinal uses?  No.  I was thinking that my kids would grow up thinking it was ok to be a druggie and legalizing would just cause more problems.  

Traditional medicine has huge side effects on the body and after awhile it might be doing more harm than good.  Doctors are able to prescribe heavy duty pain killers: morphine, and dilaudid, however many won't even look at alternative medicine.  When someone is in pain, and traditional medicine isn't working, there just has to be another way.  What works for one person doesn't always work for everyone.  Can I really be the judge?  No. I am meeting more and more people that alternative medicine is working!  Acupuncture? Meditation?  Oils? Edible marijuana? If you or a loved one is in pain and traditional medicine isn't working, its worth trying.    

Just last month, you can now buy marijuana in Durango.  Check out www.weedmaps.com, for a store. There's several locals that sell essential oils. Check out www.doterra.com.  My common stress reliever is a walk outside and smelling the fresh Colorado air.  

Community

So blessed to live in Mancos!  This past Sunday evening, Mancos joined together for a community dinner. Wow, more than 75 people! What a great time to meet new and old friends.  A little chilly, since I just spent the weekend in PHX visiting my daughter at college.   On Tuesday, the middle school finished off the football season with a great win.  Here's a picture of my little tackler. He's tough!

Homecoming is this week for high school.   Lots of fun from dressing up, bonfire, parade (Friday afternoon) and then the football game Friday night.  My son, James will be playing.  He's small too, but super tough! There's a BBQ tailgate party at the field starting at 6pm.  Hope to see everyone at the game.
