About Me

Kathryn Ray
My husband and I returned to Colorado in 2009 to live a simpler life. Right now the goal of simple means we are busy. Busy fixing up our farm, raising Alpacas and Tibetan Mastiffs, racing wheelchairs, building flying objects, Alpacamundo, and Colorado Tibetan Mastiffs. This blog is about these and the other things going on in my head. I hope you find it interesting, useful and inspiring.
