Every place has issues these days, but if you look at the main factors of defining a great place to live, we pretty much check all the boxes. Fairly low crime, although it&#8217;s getting worse here too, good weather, if you like 4 seasons, clean air and water, and for the most part, not as much traffic or people as in a city. The only bad thing is the cost of living. I guess that&#8217;s what you get when you get all the good things, as everyone wants to live here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday I made it to Denver by 8:45 and was out by 11. I stopped at the Sherriff&#8217;s department in Eagle on the way home to see my buddy, who is the Sherriff, and give him a few cases of wine for some benefit they have every year. I help him out a few times each year. He just got married a week ago! Small ceremony with only 8 people. Good for him. It&#8217;s his second. I asked him about the influx of migrants, and he said while we&#8217;re getting some, they&#8217;re no worse, so far, than the stupid locals that commit crimes. He was headed to a meeting with concerned parents over all the school threats. He did say things are getting worse, which is to be expected with all the building and growth we&#8217;re experiencing. He keeps an eye out for us and our hood. Good to have the Sherriff as a close friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I was gone, Lori had the house cleaners here. Ty worked until 7:45 last night, deep cleaning the restaurant by himself, to get some overtime and just get things straightened up at work. We&#8217;re headed to the gym and then will stop and see him on the way home. Have a great weekend. I have a couple loads to get out of the storage unit today. Seems never ending. God Bless you all, stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a pic of the gates to heaven, or more commonly known as our backyard, ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/heaven-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/heaven-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/heaven-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/heaven-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/heaven-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/heaven-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/heaven-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can&#8217;t think of many places as nice as where we live.
