Ooooh. Very beautiful! I do need to get to Colorado soon. This makes me think about how we're all drawn to different parts of the country. Where would you all be if you lived somewhere else? I do love the Midwest...even the flatness of it all. But, we especially enjoyed our trip to the Arizona desert...if we do end up somewhere else someday, there will have to be a baseball park nearby for my husband!
Have you considered moving to Beautiful Gulf Shores -- the land of calm surf, sugar white sand beaches, sunshine, shrimp and other seafood, great sunsets, golfing and charter fishing. There is a ball park in Mobile. Two cousins have already made it.
Well, you left out hurricanes, but never mind....We did love our visit to Gulf Shores and still remember watching the fireworks out over the beautiful gulf. I guess there are just too many choices for places to visit and not enough vacation time!
Yes, Denise, I did leave out the word HURRICANE. We don.t use that term here. We just have storms of different intensity and degrees. Interesting -- a few weeks ago the Convention and Visitors Bureau had an article in the paper suggesting that the locals no longer use the word Hurricane -- and only use the word storm. We thought it was very humorus. Believe me, if a storm named IVAN or KATRINA comes along it is a HURRICANE!!!!!!
That is interesting about not using the word hurricane! Well, maybe Big Wind coming? (We published a book with that title once.) We recently had a pretty bad storm recently; it took down a lot of old trees and flooded many basements. Some of us were without power for five days. But we were embarrassed when someone from a suburb nearby went on the radio saying that now he knew what the victims of Katrina had gone through! I mean, really.
Thought it would be nice to compare a Midwest Sunset to a Colorado Sunset. Both are pretty nice in my book....
