I so wanted to write about my trip to Colorado. This is downtown Carbondale, Colorado on the west side of the Rockies. My sister Leslie lives in this town which has grown since the last time I was here.I like the fact that she can walk to work, walk to town, to the library, and even the grocery store. I was here for over a week and 1/2, and I tried to squeeze in everything. We were in the little shops lining Main St. and I thought the colors of these stores seem so South West to me. It was a lovely day. Later that evening we went to see the movie "Buck" in the downtown theater. It was a true documentary on a "horse whisperer" who had worked with Robert Redford for the movie written by Nicholas Evans. Robert Redford is quoted in the movie saying that Buck  Brannaman is the real deal. It is an excellent movie, and teaches us the lesson that might does not make right, and yes you can tame a one year old colt in a six day period with patience and control.
