Hi my name is Olive Brady. I’ve lived with my husband, Curly, on our ranch outside of Peakview Colorado for almost forty years. We raised our son, Rick on our ranch. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Now that he’s grown and married, he not only has his vet practice on our land, but also just built a new house up on the hill with his bride, Nicole. Soon, God willing, there will be another generation of Bradys enjoying the land. What can I tell you about our town?

Do you ever wish you lived in a bigger city? Somewhere there were more things to do?

Goodness gracious, no. Why anyone wants to live in a city is beyond me. I love the open spaces and fresh mountain air. If you like nature, there is always something to do. We may not have a lot of folks here is Peakview, but those we do have are the best kind.

What do you mean by that?

All of the residents of this county are like family. They’d stop at nothing to help one of their own, or even a total stranger. You won’t find nicer folks anywhere.

So no plans to retire somewhere where there is less upkeep than the ranch?

Definitely not. It would kill Curly to leave this land. Oh, I wish he’d turn more of the day to day stuff over to Rick and the hired help, but he thrives on still being an active part of the ranch. He has cut back some. We are very blessed to have such an fine son, who values this ranch as much as we do. We’ll live here until the day we die. After that, I hope they’ll spread my ashes down by the creek. I love it there. I may be getting older but I have the best husband and the best life. No complaints.
