No More Dreaming...We Have a White Christmas. You wouldn't think Colorado would be without a white Christmas, but this year we were starting to wonder. We've been in a summer time drought that was followed by a winter time drought, but the Christmas Gods have blessed us with a White Christmas. Today over 3 inches of snow has fallen in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. It's tapered off tonight, but is still coming down. Tomorrow is going to be a White Christmas. Everyone is so happy to see the snow and the moisture.  My family is traveling for Christmas. We are in Glenwood Springs which is only about 2 hours away from our house, but it's world away in terms in people and things to do. The weather patterns are similar. Glenwood Springs is a mountain town like my own mountain town, except it's b...

Stay, Play and Get Scared in Colorado. The Hotel Colorado is Home to Some Permanent Guests. If you are looking for a haunting good time, The Hotel Colorado may have just what you are looking for. This grand hotel is located in Glenwood Springs and has hosted some pretty famous people over the years, and some of them are refusing to leave. Walter Devereaux built this grand establishment in 1891. It was quite the draw for such famous guests as Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and William Taft. Al Capone and his buddies also spent time at the hotel. Devereaux is still said to be hanging out, and you can smell his cigar smoke. During WWII the hotel was used as a naval hospital. At this time a chamber maid was caught in a lovers triangle and killed by a jealous lover. Employees report hearing her ...

Just pass the round about with the naked mountain climber, yes you read this right. In the center of our little town of Silt, COLORADO round about is the naked mountain climber made out of stone. Yes the statue is all about the things you can do in COLORADO. It made national attention last fall, see this link on Denver channel , it was the talk of the whole valley. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/20689868/detail.html Back to the reason of this blog is just behind the statue is the BEST BBQ on the Western Slope of COLORADO. Red Brick BBQ is owned by Daniel & Molly Fredrich of Silt. As you can tell by the picture they have fun with what they do.

Well the week started out with a Rock slide on 1-70 in the Glenwood Springs Canyon closing it for 5 days in both directions. Living in this beautiful state you never know when rock slides, mudslides or avalanches will happen. It really keeps you on your toes in a sense. When you are driving through the canyons getting to work or a client's home it goes through your mind what could happen. Most of us are on our own mission and want to just get our tasks done for the day so when we are inconvienced by acts of nature it makes a few mad but most of us are happy no one (this time) was hurt. I think it is really amazing to hear people say "What is Taking so LONG to clean up! Well let me think, the boulders are 6' x 8' & 10' by 20' in size and my rake and yard equipment just can't do this tas...

Hi there child of the King!Well, it's only a few days away from Christmas. And I hope that in the midst of all of the Christmas-ing you've really had an opportunity to sit and ponder the incredible event of love that we're celebrating. God loves you with a love that would knock you to your knees if you could experience it fully, friend. That's why He came to earth. I share this YouTube video every year, but it both makes my heart sing and reminds me of what's true. It's Linus telling us about the true meaning of Christmas from The Charlie Brown Christmas, and I hope it speaks to you like it does to me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKk9rv2hUfAMay your soul feel its worth this week, and this Christmas season, much-loved one.Have a merry, merry Christmas!ChristopherHere's this week's devo...

I like the idea of WORKING out this economy situation for us little people so I am announcing today a strategy that will put money into our economy and keep everyone WORKING (and paying taxes). For you Americans who are ready to sell your home or you bigger people who are willing to sell one of your homes this is how it will play out. 1. Call a Professional  Home Stager and she will do an evaluation on your property and will provide a WORKING plan that will direct you on how to proceed. 2. On that list you will find out that you may need some painting, electrical , intense house cleaning, or landscaping done to complete the package for resell. This is where we help the little people who keep this country moving and functional. We then hire these professional little people to complete t...

Christopher Shearer More info: www.ftc.gov For People on Debt Management Plans: A Must-Do List Reputable credit counseling organizations employ counselors who are certified and trained in consumer credit, money and debt management, and budgeting. Those organizations that are nonprofit have a legal obligation to provide education and counseling. But not all credit counseling organizations provide these services. Some charge high fees, not all of which are disclosed, or urge you to make "voluntary" contributions that can cause you to fall deeper into debt. Many claim that a debt management plan is your only option before they spend time reviewing your financial situation, and offer little or no consumer education and counseling. Others misrepresent their nonprofit status or fraudulently o...
