This is Crested Butte in the winter! Nestled down in a valley! It is an old 1800's mining town, reburbished with a ski resort up on Mt. Crested Butte mountain! We just arrived this afternoon and checked into our Columbine condo for the month of August! It is the highest and oldest condo building on the mountain. We are in the end unit right next to the ski lift! and also have side windows where we can view the peak everyday! Hummingbirds dart, chipmunks scurry and wild flowers abound!! And the weather...it is gorgeous!! cool and breezy that make the aspen leaves glitter in the sun!! The top of the aspen tree is right next to the front window! I love it here!! especially at night...looking down at the lights of both towns down the mountain! So long--hot, humid weather back in IOWA!! I will miss my neighbors, family and friends, but NOT the weather!! Oh, yes, we get WGN here so can keep up on some of the CUBS games! They are doing so well...1 game out of 1st!! Stay tuned for more of one of the Greatest Places on Earth!! COLORADO!! ps: we had the door open and a little bird flew in & visited for a time tonight!!
Newly retired band director of 33 years from College Community Schools(Prairie) in Cedar Rapids! G'ma to 6 wonderful g'kids! I am posting pics of knit/crochet items I'm making for 'word-of-mouth' sales: "G'ma's Yarn Loops on Stiks" www.heartofthehawkeyes.blogspot.com ---Email me: lbquilts@mchsi.com and I will try to customize any request if at all possible. I collect patterns for baby & toddler sweaters, hats, socks, ponchos, dishcloths. (I prefer to knit sweaters in one-piece designs). I also make Fairisle CHRISTMAS stockings with names/pics, women/child SOCKS, DISHCLOTHS & AFGHANS! (Knit bags in future?)

The Meaning of Christmas ... "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that."
