Gail Kruse Haag

Randy and I still have a few beers now and again. I don't think we've changed an aweful lot, just a bit older.

I started publishing a local magazine called "Rocky Mountain Spirit." I created the magazine because I was going to have the perfect job. I visualized the whole thing in my mind and the free time I could have, and all the amazing people I would meet. Well, the amazing people part is what makes the job FUN but the free time thing never happened (yet...). I deal with a lot of talented writers, photographer and editors.

I am now 50 YEARS OLD - God, half a century. I don't feel that old. Exercise and wine coolers help me stay halfway young. Randy and I attempted to get back to the earth years ago. We grew a huge garden every year and I put up lots of veggies and made pickles and we had a huge asperagus patch,

strawberries, garlic and herbs. We have raspberries I can't keep up with AND we have a fence that runs the length of our property bordering the garden that we planted grape vines on. It makes an ideal privacy border and we get almost 1,000 pounds of concord grapes off it every year. Randy makes wine. I make juice and jelly.
