I had a very fun time with members of my cousin Susan's book club, I hiked in the mountains, and I saw some very old cabins. The weather in the Rocky Mountains has been perfect! #rockymountains #postscript #andrewsmcmeel #writersofbluesky #familylove

A beautiful day at my family reunion in Estes Park, CO. I took a hike with my cousins, Dane and Brian. Then my amazing cousin, Melissa, prepared a taco bar feast! The aspens are turning yellow, and the sky is blue. #postscript #andrewsmcmeel #writersofbluesky #familylove #estespark

One of the things I loved about Dolly Parton is how she preempted gossip. About plastic surgery she said, “If I see something saggin', baggin', or draggin', I'm gone have it nipped, tucked, or sucked!” 😆
