Starting tough conversations with aging parents

Few experiences are as difficult for a family as recognizing that a parent is no longer able to do everything they once could. The conversations are rarely easy. They often come later than they should. And almost nobody feels prepared for them. Our family learned that firsthand when we began noticing signs of dementia in my mother-in-law, Nathalie. At 78, Nathalie was not someone who saw herself as old, but after turning 70, she had started to deal with a lot of health issues, from the aches and pains of arthritis to cancer, dental and vision problems, and depression....

Closing arguments in the five-week trial concluded shortly after 4:30 p.m. in U.S. District Court before Judge Regina M. Rodriguez after a full day of presentations from prosecutors and defense attorneys....

Solé brings elevated dining, rooftop views to downtown Estes Park

The new Solé Rooftop Cantina and Tequila Bar in Estes Park, which opened May 14, raises the bar for dining with a view. Whether seated on the shaded third-floor rooftop on a sunny afternoon, gathered around a firepit after sunset, or relaxing in the elegant second-floor lounge, diners are surrounded by sweeping views and carefully crafted design. On a recent evening, a party of three visiting from Indianapolis and Detroit arrived after a day of hiking and settled in for dinner overlooking Bond Park, downtown Estes Park, and snow-capped peaks on the horizon....
