So with all the commentary and opinions regarding guns and gun control flying around, I thought that I would bring a little levity to the subject. In Colorado there is an absolutely lovey little town named Rifle in the Rocky Mountains about 180 miles west of Denver. In Rifle there is a little cafe named Shooters Grill. Now Shooters Grill  has a rather unusual claim to fame. It is perfectly legal, and in fact encouraged, for guests to open carry their firearm into this little eating establishment. For the wait staff, it is almost a job requirement! If you work at Shooters Grill, and you are over the age of 18, you most probably wear a gun holstered to your side. That's right folks, the waitresses at Shooters Grill  serve up your food while packing heat! Shooters Grill  claims to be the s...

Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program within Carbondale  Colorado. Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). Thanks to this special FHA loan program, a buyer or home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their new or existing home without the higher cost of a second mortgage. "Luxury items" like a hot tub and a swimming pool are not allowed by this FHA loan program. Repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, add wallpaper, replace appliances and flooring and even add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of the homes square footage). The biggest advantage with this government loan program is that instead of having tw...

Spring Break Colorado Style and A Family of Three Enjoying Time Together. My daughter is on spring break this week, so my husband and I did what we could to get some time off together so we could enjoy a few days as a family.   The trip started off pretty well. A spring storm had blessed us with snow just a day before, and we heard rumors of another storm on the way. Heck...we've been hearing rumors of storms all winter, so we didn't care and we headed on down the road for a few days away from home. At this point I wanted Sierra to have her picture taken along the side of the road to show how much snow there actually is. The teenager declined. It wasn't a good picture taking day. There were some mumbles about it being a bad hair day. At least that's the way I summed it all up.   Our goa...

No More Dreaming...We Have a White Christmas. You wouldn't think Colorado would be without a white Christmas, but this year we were starting to wonder. We've been in a summer time drought that was followed by a winter time drought, but the Christmas Gods have blessed us with a White Christmas. Today over 3 inches of snow has fallen in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. It's tapered off tonight, but is still coming down. Tomorrow is going to be a White Christmas. Everyone is so happy to see the snow and the moisture.  My family is traveling for Christmas. We are in Glenwood Springs which is only about 2 hours away from our house, but it's world away in terms in people and things to do. The weather patterns are similar. Glenwood Springs is a mountain town like my own mountain town, except it's b...

Stay, Play and Get Scared in Colorado. The Hotel Colorado is Home to Some Permanent Guests. If you are looking for a haunting good time, The Hotel Colorado may have just what you are looking for. This grand hotel is located in Glenwood Springs and has hosted some pretty famous people over the years, and some of them are refusing to leave. Walter Devereaux built this grand establishment in 1891. It was quite the draw for such famous guests as Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and William Taft. Al Capone and his buddies also spent time at the hotel. Devereaux is still said to be hanging out, and you can smell his cigar smoke. During WWII the hotel was used as a naval hospital. At this time a chamber maid was caught in a lovers triangle and killed by a jealous lover. Employees report hearing her ...

Aspen Glen is the premier gated golf course community in the lower part of the Roaring Fork Valley. The Jack Nicklaus designed golf course has won numerous awards and enjoys a significantly longer season than some of the golf courses closer to Aspen. The spectacular club house with pool, tennis and gym facilities at Aspen Glen enjoys incredible views of Mt. Sopris and is a popular venue for local events. Like all golf course communities, Aspen Glen has been affected by the economic crisis and prices have fallen significantly from their peak in 2007-2008. Probably due to the general financial strength of the typical Aspen Glen resident, the neighborhood has not been as affected as other parts of the valley by foreclosures. In the last 12 months, there have been 11 residential sales in A...

With each passing month our local market between Aspen, Glenwood Springs and Rifle is inching its way back to an equilibrium between supply and demand, but we are still not there yet. All indications suggest that 2011 will turn out to be the best year for buyers. Here is the monthly commentary from our friend Joe Carpenter at American National Bank in Rifle: What do flood waters and housing inventories have in common? Answer: They both rise and fall. As we're experiencing record run off from the snowpack of the past season and see the rivers reaching or exceeding flood levels in many areas, I can't help but draw a parallel to the local housing market over the past three years where we've seen inventory levels swell as a dramatic decline in sales dammed the flow of transaction activity a...

Just pass the round about with the naked mountain climber, yes you read this right. In the center of our little town of Silt, COLORADO round about is the naked mountain climber made out of stone. Yes the statue is all about the things you can do in COLORADO. It made national attention last fall, see this link on Denver channel , it was the talk of the whole valley. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/20689868/detail.html Back to the reason of this blog is just behind the statue is the BEST BBQ on the Western Slope of COLORADO. Red Brick BBQ is owned by Daniel & Molly Fredrich of Silt. As you can tell by the picture they have fun with what they do.

Well the week started out with a Rock slide on 1-70 in the Glenwood Springs Canyon closing it for 5 days in both directions. Living in this beautiful state you never know when rock slides, mudslides or avalanches will happen. It really keeps you on your toes in a sense. When you are driving through the canyons getting to work or a client's home it goes through your mind what could happen. Most of us are on our own mission and want to just get our tasks done for the day so when we are inconvienced by acts of nature it makes a few mad but most of us are happy no one (this time) was hurt. I think it is really amazing to hear people say "What is Taking so LONG to clean up! Well let me think, the boulders are 6' x 8' & 10' by 20' in size and my rake and yard equipment just can't do this tas...
