Another beautiful week gone by! That snow was nice, and we needed the moisture. Coming from the east, you can see that the mountains got quite a bit of snow, which is still there. We will need a LOT OF SNOW TO CATCH UP! Of course, we don’t want it to snow for Halloween or the Christmas Bazaar and parade, or for the football games, but otherwise we will welcome it!

Wasn’t this a wonderful week. A time to go on a trip through Lyons, the “Double Gateway of the Rockies,” to Estes Park, up Highway 7, down the Big Thompson Highway 34, or up 36/66. We are very fortunate to have such lovely weather and great scenery. Of course, all good things come to an end, which is supposed to be in a day or two with some snow. That’s Colorado!Fitness Fads
By Mary Chase
Let’s face it, we are a quick fix society. When we want something, we want it yesterday and we expect big results. The fitness industry is known for these quick fixes and fitness fads, but what really works? I’m going to touch base on some of the current “trends.”

WHAT LOVELY FALL WEATHER!
Take a drive up the North or South St. Vrain Canyons, or a walk to Meadow or Bohn Parks and enjoy. It is breathtaking to realize that we actually live in this wonderous spot! Aren’t we lucky!
