Wordless Wednesday for a good cause

05-20-09
Kelly Noble

I have never participated in "wordless Wednesdays" mostly because I can't seem to not have words come out of me. But today I thought I would post this photo of my Cousin Mikey (right) who is getting a new kidney from my dad (left) soon. They were supposed to do the operation today but the surgery had to be postponed since another emergency transplant came in late last night. Not sure when the surgery will be now, most likely next week.

 Rich Noble and Mikey Noble

There is a joke that my dad is a "Medical Freakin Miracle" hence the shirt.

If you would like to know more about my 19 year old cousin Mikey and how you might be able to help please check out his website at www.mikeynoble.com

Every little bit helps.

So you are moving to Colorado Springs and don't know where to play?

So you are thinking of moving to Colorado Springs and you don't know where to play?

I have lived in Colorado Springs, CO for over 12 years. I am a Colorado native and I am here to give you a couple tips about Colorado Springs, CO.

There is so much to do in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas but here are a few of my personal favorites (in no particular order)

•1.      The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo: The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo offers an experience like no other zoo I have been to. Enjoy breathtaking views of Colorado Springs while feeding the Giraffes. Enjoy a ride on the sky lift or get some serious exercise hiking up the mountain all the while checking out the cool animals and even cooler views. This is a family friendly place but be sure to bring your walking shoes!

•2.      The Sky Sox: During baseball season there is no better way to spend a warm summer evening then at the security services field watching the local AAA baseball team and eating a yummy hot dog. Tuesday's are the best time to go for us frugal spenders as everyone gets in for only $2. Sometimes if you are really lucky a Rockies player will be send down to play when they are recovering from an injury and they will sign autographs. Last year I got Matt Holiday and Tulo's autographs!

•3.      First Thursdays at the Fine Arts Center: Every first Thursday of the month the Fine Arts Center downtown holds a wine tasting. Come enjoy wine, snacks, art and music at this event. I believe it is $25 each time but its always a great way to rub elbows with the Colorado Springs elite all the while enjoying a little culture.

•4.      Cave of the Winds: Every July in Colorado Springs temperatures start to peak and it can get steamy out! There is just no better place to be on one of those hot July days then exploring the caves at the Cave of the Winds.

•5.      Pikes Peak: I think it would be uncoloradian of me to not suggest a day trip to the top of Pikes Peak. There are 3 ways to get there: You can hike it up, you can drive up, or you can ride the cog railway up. I have only ever driven up because I like to stop and take pictures on the way. No matter how you go be sure to pack plenty of water (you WILL get sick if you don't) and layers of clothes as it does get very chilly at the top. Oh and don't forget the camera because you can see all that Colorado has to offer from the top and it's a beautiful sight to see!

•6.      Territory Days in Old Colorado City: The Old Colorado City Merchant Association presents Territory Days 2009 to commemorate Old Colorado City as the first capitol of the Colorado Territory in 1861. Historic Old Colorado City has been celebrating "Territory Days" for 34 years. The very first event, in August 1975, was called "Rampart Range Sertoma Territory Days Parade and Buffalo Barbeque". Territory Days has grown from a small neighborhood craft fair, parade and barbeque into a three-day street festival which now hosts over 180 craft, commercial and food booths. Between 80,000 and 140,000 guests, (depending on the weather), enjoy this event every Memorial weekend.

•7.      Garden of the Gods: camera? Check! Comfortable shoes? Check! Picnic packed? Check! Now that you are ready to go, head on over to see the Garden of the Gods. A fantastic place to walk around, picnic, sight see, and take phenomenal photos.

 

So those are just a few of my favorite local Colorado Springs play spots. Let me know if you have any questions and please feel free to leave your own Colorado Springs play ideas in the comments.

Selling and Marketing Energy Star Homes

Gord Cook & Rick Colombo of Campbell Homes

The Pikes Peak Energy Star class "Marketing and Selling Energy Star Homes" with Gord Cook was a huge success. With over 60 Realtors and area sales professionals in attendance the atmosphere was a buzz with activity. Agents were asked to demonstrate different energy features in a home and learned what made Energy Star homes so much better then the average home. Gord did a spectacular job keeping the energy in the room upbeat and everyone that talked to me said they got a ton of the event (included 7 CE credits!!)

Gord Cook Teaching

This event was truly fantastic and I encourage all of you to check out www.pikespeakenergy star for more details about Energy Star building practices and upcoming events.
