At Dear Author, Jane gives 10 Tips for Your New eBook Reader . When Jack had a Kindle delivered two and a half years ago, I thought he was crazy. Now I only regret that the original Kindle is so limited compared to the more recent versions. I still use it a lot, far more than Jack, and it is looking very grubby these days. It is especially nice when traveling since it replaces the ten to fifteen pounds of books that I HAD to have as entertainment.

Tree House
This tree house overlooks Cottonwood Creek Park. There are quite a few residences that back up to the park, and most of them have gates from the back yards to the Park path.
Pikes Peak from Cottonwood Creek Park
I had a little time before an early morning appointment yesterday and was near Cottonwood Creek Park. I took this from the best vantage point accessible without risking steep icy paths. (It would have been so embarrassing being featured in the newspaper as “Stupid Woman Rescued from Cottonwood Creek While Taking Photographs.”) It is very odd to see Pikes Peak so bare in January. Trivia: Pikes Peak was originally Pike’s Peak, but the apostrophe was removed because Official Names can’t have apostrophes.
