Colorado Rocky Mountain High

I'll soon be on my way to Colorado to see my daughter and son-in-law. I can't wait. I will have some beautiful pictures to share.
July has kept me very busy and August looks the same. My guests have been so enjoyable. Meeting new people has been a delight I didn't anticipate.
The Poynette Craft and Historic Homes tours is a not to miss event. I made my guests comfortable and enjoyed a quick look. Suzie the Duck days and the Arlington Festival are the second week-end in August. Both have a very nice parade and I hope to participate.
Our NAB (Networking Area Businesses) met again and the recipe this week comes from the host of that meeting. We have new members and I will be hosting the August meeting for an evening meal.
If you are in the area the Columbia County Visitors Bureau is hosting concerts all summer in Portage.

Daughter & Husband Visit

What a perfect reason to miss my blogging!!! My daughter and her husband came for a visit and I took the week off. We had hours of visiting and catching up. Allot of time was spent in the B & B to see all my latest treasures. I hope to take some time off this summer to visit Colorado and their beautiful new home.

I attended the Columbia County Visitors Bureau meeting and the Columbia County Economic Development Corporation inventors meeting. There are many sources out there to make your business a success. It just takes time to learn about them and apply what is available for your business. I was overwhelmed at all the work and commitment the members have to promote tourism and Columbia County.
