With respect to communication, we have lived through the 'texting' stage with our two kids, and together we have learned that MANY times texting is unsuitable for even the simplest of topics! In my short time in the blogosphere (10 months), I have quickly come to love it for the people that I have 'met' and gotten to know through their pictures but even more so the narrative they write! I hope we all continue to share our experiences!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490533253436208034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-639759939115292872018-01-14T12:28:56.788-08:002018-01-14T12:28:56.788-08:00There’s a whole web of toll roads around DIA.

I think the lunch and quilt shop with a friend did you a world of good. And I am a conversationalist and I love to write so blogging keeps me vocal. I have kept hand written journals since age 9 I find blogging an extension of that. I love to write letters another great way to communicate without the use of electronics.

I think you need some sort of a transponder to make the toll on E-470 a bit cheaper, but could be all wrong about that. I always have avoided driving o E-470. Must be something about loving to sit in traffic on the few multi-laned highways in town.

In the 70's, we took our kids on vacation to Montrose, Uray, Durango on the western side of Colorado and I just loved those towns. Pagosa Springs in the southern part of the state is just gorgeous, but difficult to traverse in the winter so I don't recommend it now. Loved your cowboy lunch peers story. I try to chat with people around me but most people are on electronics the few times I go to restaurants. Anyway, loved this post and glad you got to chat with Mary. Have a great day. mary in AzMary in Peoria Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871811216546092480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-2438607226352037242018-01-13T06:19:12.025-08:002018-01-13T06:19:12.025-08:00Time to buy a travel map of CO.

There was hardly another car on the road, so I'm guessing there are other ways to get around. Unfortunately there's also a lot of traffic around Denver. I don't like traffic especially when I'm unfamiliar with the area. Glad you got to meet up with Mary and visit the quilt shop. And even $10.00 a yard fabric sound good. Moda and the other brands are $12.00 a yard around here and batiks have gone to $13.00.<br />We're snowed in again, although we didn't get as much as they forecasted. Temperature dropped 40° in a couple hours yesterday from 60° at noon to 20° by 7 PM. Going down to zero tonight.<br />I like your introspective posts. I don't do other social media and prefer blogs because they are more informative and satisfying. It's been fun to see the places you visit and the treasures you discover. You are where you're meant to be, so embrace the experience and we'll go along for the ride.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-67900367590856328342018-01-13T06:09:43.664-08:002018-01-13T06:09:43.664-08:00Great post - I'm glad you had a fun outing wit...Great post - I'm glad you had a fun outing with a friend in your new home.

Oof.<br /><br />Sounds like it was a truly delightful day. <br /><br />I agree with Sara - I like the connectivity in blogs; I like the reading (as well as the pictures). One of the reasons I like Game Day so much is to spend time with good people.

Of course, I think the only toll road I've traveled is the Kansas Turnpike and it's a can't miss kind of thing. Reaching out to people depends on the day of the week and my mood but rarely can I think of when it's been a bad thing. By the way, I really love your blog!

I’m glad you got out and explored though. <br /><br />I haven’t been on a toll road in over 30 years. Last I knew you drive up and stop, give the guy your money. You mean they just charge you from your license plate? Don’t they have to get a credit card first or something? I guess I’m behind the times here in the boonies of Vermont.

Well, isn't that interesting about the rail polishers - never knew there was such a job! I am just the opposite of a shy person. I would be asking you if you lived in town, doing my best to draw you out in spite of your shyness. I can't help myself on the other end of the spectrum - I always talk to strangers. I smile at the cashier in the store and ask them how they are, and then listen. Good for you for trying to overcome your shyness because you lived through all that looking up, didn't you? I need to practice more shyness, I guess. Oooh, that would be hard for me. Truly!

On the blog we have the chance to get to know the quilter/writer/blogger and not just see a few photos. I like the stories people tell.
