Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone really reads my blogs??

Please write me at: jillsheeleybooks@gmail.com if you are. I'd love to hear from internet space!!

Maroon Bells with Ranger

This has been an incredibly gorgeous fall. We drove up to the Maroon Bells at least 9 times since the colors started changing.

Here is Courtney and Ranger on the trail going up around the lake.

We always take a picnic and it's definitely a slice of heaven

Ranger's First Jeep Trip

Ranger is getting so big. We decided to jeep up Aspen Mountain on our 33rd anniversary. Here's Ranger enjoying the fresh air.

It was a beautiful summer day in late August and coincided with the mountain bike race that went up all four mountains. Lance Armstrong got second. We passed some of the last ones and cheered them on. What a feat!

Ranger can't wait for his next jeep trip.

Ranger is Patiently Waiting for the Cyclists

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the USA Pro Challenge Bike Race that not only finished in Aspen but then went out of Aspen the next day.

It was so much fun seeing all the best cyclists in the world off the Tour de France.

The streets in Aspen were blocked off, so it was like a 2-day street party.

Lots of great energy.

Ranger is looking forward to his next cool event.

Kia meets Little Ranger

Ranger has his daily walks around town. Socializing is a good thing for puppies.

Here, he's just met Kia and thinks he's just like a big Teddy Bear.

Speaking of bears, we have two bears in our neighborhood. They're all over town, too.

Ranger loves Sammy

Sammy is the office dog at my daughter, Courtney's office at the Blues Jeans Bar.

As you can see, he's huge.

Ranger loves to play with Sammy and thinks they're about the same size!

Sammy is quite the sport and lets Ranger bite his ears (among other antics).

Summer is passing Quickly

Yes, time is passing by ever so quickly.

Don bought this cookoo clock in Switzerland this spring and it not only cookoos but all the little people move around.

The good news is that it goes to sleep in the dark so we're not awakened by the sound!
