Toto I don't think we're in California anymore

To say that this is our biggest adventure yet is putting it mildly. We are beginning to settle in to our little "mountain-town" as the Denver folks call it. We are seeing animals on the side Of the road that I'm used to only seeing in enclosures at the local zoo.

On our way home from Costco last week we saw a family (mini herd if you will) of big horned sheep no joke not 10 feet from the car. And I simply cannot get over the Canadian Geese, the noises crack me up, at least for now; they're sparse where we are but plentiful on the eastern slope. Yesterday on our way home from visiting the fam-bam in the Denver area for NYE we saw a herd of buffalo!! (While I couldn't convince Mr. Wonderful to pull over so I could get a photo, I'm sure you all know what buffalo look like.) They were just so amazing, and majestic just standing in this field. I do hope we get to see more things like that, it makes living over here so much more fun knowing that I get the "zoo" experience without the herds of Asians & children. I may be singing a different tune when the local bears come out of hibernation and are sitting on my back deck one day. Until then I will enjoy the Wildlife watching.

A good friend of mine keeps reminding me to "Embrace the Journey" and that I am. At least that's one of my goals for 2013.

Happy new year everyone, I wish you all health, peace and happiness in 2013!
