I just read a great post by Lorelle Van Fossen on ProBlogger.com.  It is actually an excerpt from her book, that I might have to see if I can find.  She talks about something I have been working on lately, after reading many posts here about how it is important to not only get keywords in your ti...

The Pine Beetle has devastated our forests in Summit County and many Silverthorne, Frisco and Breckenridge homes have felt the effects as one after another, trees have died.  I have experienced it first hand, as my home in Mesa Cortina, which backs to Forest Service land, has been in the thick of...

 Summit County, Colorado is hosting two big bike rides in June and July this year.  In fact, these bike rides occur every year.  July 21st to the 23rd is the Courage Classic, a 157 mile bike ride that goes from Leadville to Copper Mountain the first day for almot 4,000 feet of elevation gain.  Th...

June 6th and 2 inches of snow with 90 mile an hour winds.  It is supposed to be summer!  The snow is not too unusual at 9,000' feet of elevation, and we get some wind every now and then.  But on June 6th?  And both at once!  I was blogging away last night and could hear the wind howling outside. ...

 I don't know how many Brinton groupies we have on AR, but I have attended his conferences for years and owe Howard and his Stars lots of credit for what success I have had.  One of the most helpful things that I took away from my very first University course was his explanation of the personalit...

I have been looking at many other websites and blogs, something I do routinely.  I often see blogs that are all listings, and others with nothing but lifestyle information (that would be me!)   It is difficult to find them with a good balance of everything.  We are all trying to be the neighborho...

 We seem to be getting lots of techy questions answered here today!  I asked my webdesigner, when she added my RSS feed icons on my main website, how I would know how many people have subscribed.  She didn't have an answer for me.   Now my other blog, which is attached to my website, has nowhere ...

 In Summit County we have an excellent free bus system called The Summit Stage.    When we first moved here, I noticed that all the busses had names on them and I wondered what they meant.  The names refer to Summit County history, and it wasn't until I read a book about the mining history here t...
