Welcome to the longest running boomer blog carnival online! I have been involved in this activity for years now over at my old “midlife” site MidlifeCrisisQueen.com. Here we bloggers take turns hosting links to some great posts relevant to boomers.
If you’re retired is it still possible to skip a day at school, or take a “mental health” day from work? For one answer, take a side trip over to Playing Hooky,and see what happens when Tom Sightings’ mind begins to wander.
Right Tom, and especially if you’re going through the strains and stress of having a foothills home built in rural Colorado! Yesterday we took a vacation from our daily life by driving around the Highway of Legends loop southwest of here. There we found a couple of gorgeous high altitude lakes like the photo of North Lake at the top of this post, and some…
fantastic views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range! We stopped by Stonewall Lodge where they have a very nice set-up with cabins at 8,000 feet. Then we drove over to Cokedale, near Trinidad to see the coke ovens.
On the way back we found a few astounding views:
One was a delightful field full of Rocky Mountain Wild Iris and Golden Banner!
We found this to be a day well-spent, appreciating the benefits of this wonderful place we now call home… not bad for a three hour drive with almost no traffic, eh?
Oh my my!! I love the wild iris and have forgotten how the fields near the Wet Mountains are carpeted with them this time of year! Our prairie primroses are starting to show to the north of you! Sorry about the old site but this is a lovely place to visit on the net.
It looks beautiful. A lovely place to call home.

What beautiful views! It’s no wonder you decided to move there! I can’t wait until we can get back on the road and visit this area once again.
