I am a new farm girl member and trying to learn the ropes. Are there any farm girls out there from Colorado? If so I hope to hear from you. Thanks, Deb

Hi Shirley, it is wonderful to have you join us, it is amazing to me just how many Colorado farmgirls we have on the forum. And, there are many more than just the ones who posted on this forum, because Colorado is a beautiful, wonderful place to live. God's Country.
I love living 9000 feet up in Florissan, but I believe I could live in any small town in Colorado and be happy, I like going to the big cities but just do not want to live in them.
My son lives in the Denver area, I do not get there open but when I do perhaps I can try to meet some of you.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Debbie

Debbie,
Byers about 40 miles East of Denver on I-70. It is a wonderful farming community. It is in a line of towns which were small Railroad watering stops years ago...each one is exactly 6 miles apart. I love living here already as the sunsets are beautiful and the people are so friendly!

Hello CariAnn and Margaret, welcome to Colorado and the forum. I live in Florissant CO about 45 minutes SW of Colorado Springs. CariAnn like you we moved to Colorado when my husband retired out of Hunter/Ft. Stewart in 1996 and we have never regretted our move here. Colorado is home now and we feel so blessed to be here. I wish you and your family much luck as your make a new life here, stay in touch as there are nothing like the farmgirls. You will have a lot of fun here.
Margaret where is Byers I am not sure I am familiar with it. Where did you move from?
We are so happy to have you both here.
FArmgirl Hugs,
Debbie

Welcome Margaret!
We get over to Byers quite a bit, we do some racing at the new track out there. Just a nice area yet accessible to amenities.

CariAnn,
Welcome to the forum! I live in Longmont and do a lot of "urban homesteading"
Check out the Boulder Valley Schools Website, they are currently taking applications for school bus drivers if thats something that you or hubby would be interested in. They pay you full pay during training and pay full benefits (health, dental, life insurance) after 30 days and they guarantee a minimum of 20 hours (most bus routes are much longer than that. The class starts in August. My whole family works there.

Hello Colorado Farmgirls!
I am new to Colorado and to being a "Farmgirl" Im currently living in Johnstown but will be moving at some point (hopefully this year) to the Firestone/Longmont area. My husband just retired from the Military (Also stationed in GA near Savannah as Blessed in Colorado was). We are jobless and homeless at this time but things are starting to look up! My dad has allowed me and my boys to use his back yard for a garden and so far I am enjoying the beautiful bounty the the great mountain air has helped produce! I love Colorado!! :) |

Hello Colorado Farm Girls I am finally back on the forum. I have been in Boston for the past week with a very Dear Friend who has cancer. I have missed everyone and am glad to be back in touch.
Hugs,

I would love a camping trip, but I would have to sleep in my van! |

Debbie, hope everything went as expected with your son's move. Glad your back! I'm enjoying the cooler weather for now but I'm headed to a wedding in Taos NM so I expect I'll be back in the heat again!

I am back from visiting our son in Denver and helping him move. So happy to be back in the mountains where it is cool. Kathy the next time I go to Denver we will definitely have to get together for lunch, this trip there just was not time.
Happy to be back in contact with all my sisters.

Okay Heather I know where I will be sleeping on our camping trip, in the Glamper. Checked out your blog what a beautiful Glamper you have, I can see from the pics all the love, sweat and tears that went into it. I have always wanted to get one to redo maybe one day.

Kathy I tried to join the Farmgirls Southwest Henhouse, but it told me they were not excepting any new members. Am I doing something wrong? Thought I was a member for all on the sites.
