Mother’s Day Brunch

Two of my favorite weekend brunch items are breakfast burritos and breakfast casseroles. These menu staples are perfect for family gatherings or plans that include overnight guests.

What a difference a day makes!

Springtime in the Rocky Mountains is always an interesting combination of perfectly gorgeous blue sky and sunshine, hurricane-force winds, rain, snow and everything in between days. So, like Will Rogers once said, “If you don’t like our weather, just wait a few minutes.” That’s certainly been true this week here in Trinidad. Thank you Jewell Noggle for sharing your great photo of Monday’s incredible snow storm that was in and out so fast that most of us had our driveways shoveled just about the time it all melted.

TEEN SON STRUGGLES AFTER FAMILY’S MOVE TO NEW STATE

DEAR ABBY: Because of frustration with our state’s substantial COVID restrictions and our teen son’s struggles with remote learning, we moved to another state. At the time, our son was excited to move (we kept asking him to make sure). However, we are now nearly through the school year and he still hasn’t made new friends.
