Interesting to see Colorado, seeing the remote area, I’ve never been to Colorado but I hear it is a beautiful state with the mountains. Thanks for sharing your childhood days. Your mother’s wedding dress made from your dad’s parachute, wow. This video reminds me of when I checked out my old neighborhood in England when my dad died. I live in southern CA now.
Big up! Colorado is indeed stunning, but there's nothing like revisiting those old memories, right? Your story about your old neighborhood in England hits close to home. Southern CA must be a whole different vibe. Thanks for sharing and for the love on the video. Bless up yourself!
So sorry for your loss. I can relate to how you’re feeling, tears can make people feel good and may also ease emotional distress. I miss my mother though she’s been gone for more than 21 years. Wonderful video ❤your journey and so happy Madge is by your side.🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your kind words of sympathy. We’re back in Jamaica. Flew in yesterday. It’s comforting reading through all these comments. Blessings ❤️❤️❤️
My condolences to you.watching from Massachusetts. Your states has lots of land we have more trees here but I can see the winter took all your trees away like my state😊In the summer time they will return and make the place look more like nature. Thanks for the video
So, I needed some laughter today and I decided to check out one of your old videos. Not even 1 minute in the video I started laughing when Tom realized he was in the wrong side of the road. You probably scare the heck out of that driver in the pickup truck. I do hope you and Madge are enjoying the time off...
Thanks for tuning in and having a laugh with us! Oh, that moment with the pickup truck is one for the books; we still chuckle about it. We're definitely enjoyed our time in Julesburg-Tom's hometown is a gem. Big up yourself!
Thanks a lot for your kind words! Mom's love and blessings are still with us. It’s wonderful to have viewers like you. Bless up yourself and keep watching! 🚙💨
Nice video, thanks for showing us a part of your life. This town reminds me of a place I lived after university called Timmins about 9 hrs North of Toronto🇨🇦very quaint and welcoming. My condolences for the passing of your mom, I feel for you, no matter how old a parent is,it still hurts🙏
So sorry for your loss Tom, it doesn't matter how old your mom was, it still hurts! My parents both passed at age 98 years and it still hurts! Sending you hugs!

An all around athlete Sir Tom 😂,hello Ms.Madge thanks for sharing a part of your life with us,sorry for your loss,enjoy your time in the old neighborhood and safe travels back home love you guys.❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲

Your blessings and support mean a lot. Thank you for being part of our journey and for embracing the places that are close to our hearts. Blessings to you too!
I bought the building you see at 20:18 with the Pony Express placard. Never really heard of the town and bought it site unseen. Fell in love with this town. Will be hopefully open for business late 2025. I will be sure to come back here and send you an invite.
Sounds like an exciting journey you've set yourself on! We're delighted you're loving Julesburg and that our video could shed some more light on its charm for you. What a wonderful surprise to learn you've got the old Grit-Advocate building. Looking forward to that invite, we'd be overjoyed to see the place open for business. Best of luck for your venture, and keep on enjoying Julesburg. Bless up yourself!
So kind of you to share your feelings on this poignant journey through Tom's roots. Indeed, visiting Julesburg was an emotional ride. Thank you for watching and expressing such empathy in your comment. Bless up! 🚙
My Mother was born and raised in Julesburg, born in 1940. My Father grew up in Ovid, born in 1937, he went onto the Navy right after Highschool, married my Mother when she was 18. He got stationed in San Diego. The last time I was in Julsburg was in late 90's for my Grandmother's funeral at that very same place, loved seeing that town again through your video it brought back some memories especially the grain silo's, was it owned by the last name of Kontney?
What an incredible story! It’s amazing how places can bring back such vivid memories. The grain silos in Julesburg are quite iconic. As for the ownership, I think you’re right about it being the Kontney family. So glad our video could transport you back to those times. Bless up yourself!
Yes, we are married! Thanks for the love and support! We're glad you enjoyed our drive around Tom’s hometown of Julesburg, Colorado. Have a fantastic day! 🚙 Big up yourself!
Hi Tom & Madge. My sincere condolences to you Tom for the loss of your dear Mother and you Madge for the loss of your Mother-in-law. She enjoyed her Music 🎶 and gave to others through her playing the Piano. Tom I first came across references to your Town when I was looking for articles on the Sandcreek Massacre. I came across reference about the Battle of Julesburg in 1865 where Fort Rankin (renamed Fort Sedgwick) was attacked by 1000 Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota warriors in revenge for the Sandcreek Massacre . This also led me to a VOA 2019 utube video which features Julesburg as the backdrop for a short documentary about Charamine Teodoro a Maths Teacher from the Philippines who was recruited by the School Board because they were unable to find a Maths teacher who was willing to work in such a rural location.(she is currently still working at the school. After watching your video last night and discovering that it's your Hometown, I done some more research and discovered that it was also on the Pony Express Route from 1860 to 1861. Even though your Hometown only has a population of 1307 it has many tourist attractions in the Town and along the South Platte River in your County of Sedgwick. Very impressive. I still have lots to read, thanks for sharing. All the best to both of you A
Thank you so much for your kind words of sympathy. It’s nice hearing how you’ve taken an interest in Julesburg and Sedgwick County history. Blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Colorado is different but in the lower States like Florida California Georgia Texas and so on they have beautiful concrete houses that's where it originally came from then to Jamaica. A lot of people may not know that but those warm States and hurricanes states in America had to have those houses, in the cold States we have vinyl siding because concrete is too cold for the winter. In Massachusetts we have some of the most beautiful homes in America very beautiful and big.
Hi Tom and Madge, if you're still in Colorado will it be possible for you to visit Julesburg again to show us some of the historical sites, e.g. The Fort and the Museum.
It is like my decease husband we met in NY and when we visit Jamaica I brought him to Montego Bay he was shock for he is from Clarendon never get to know the island,is like most people from Kingston refer to other parts of the island as country the beauty of the island is the north-course,
That is so funny, I just took my friend for a visit for the first me to St Ann. She's from kingston and she taught everywhere is country but couldn't explain what country meant, all she knows was the garrison to the ghetto until she went to the USA, her mouth drop when she landed in Mobay and ride down to the north coast into St Ann, now she want to go back and buy a home they're.

Hi Tom & Madge. My sincere condolences to you Tom for the loss of your dear Mother and you Madge for the loss of your Mother-in-law. She enjoyed her Music 🎶 and gave to others through her playing the Piano.
Tom I first came across references to your Town when I was looking for articles on the Sandcreek Massacre. I came across reference about the Battle of Julesburg in 1865 where Fort Rankin (renamed Fort Sedgwick) was attacked by 1000 Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota warriors in revenge for the Sandcreek Massacre . This also led me to a VOA 2019 utube video which features Julesburg as the backdrop for a short documentary about Charamine Teodoro a Maths Teacher from the Philippines who was recruited by the School Board because they were unable to find a Maths teacher who was willing to work in such a rural location.(she is currently still working at the school. After watching your video last night and discovering that it's your Hometown, I done some more research and discovered that it was also on the Pony Express Route from 1860 to 1861.
Even though your Hometown only has a population of 1307 it has many tourist attractions in the Town and along the South Platte River in your County of Sedgwick.
Very impressive. I still have lots to read, thanks for sharing. All the best to both of you

Colorado is different but in the lower States like Florida California Georgia Texas and so on they have beautiful concrete houses that's where it originally came from then to Jamaica. A lot of people may not know that but those warm States and hurricanes states in America had to have those houses, in the cold States we have vinyl siding because concrete is too cold for the winter. In Massachusetts we have some of the most beautiful homes in America very beautiful and big.
Getting caught up on reading comments now that we flew back to Jamaica yesterday. Thank you for commenting. ❤️🇯🇲❤️
Hi Tom and Madge, if you're still in Colorado will it be possible for you to visit Julesburg again to show us some of the historical sites, e.g. The Fort and the Museum.

It is like my decease husband we met in NY and when we visit Jamaica I brought him to Montego Bay he was shock for he is from Clarendon never get to know the island,is like most people from Kingston refer to other parts of the island as country the beauty of the island is the north-course,
That is so funny, I just took my friend for a visit for the first me to St Ann. She's from kingston and she taught everywhere is country but couldn't explain what country meant, all she knows was the garrison to the ghetto until she went to the USA, her mouth drop when she landed in Mobay and ride down to the north coast into St Ann, now she want to go back and buy a home they're.
Thank you for your kind words of support and encouragement. You are truly a blessing us. ❤️❤️
I know Julesburg well
Julesburg is truly a gem with a rich history going way back to the old west. What's your favorite thing about it? Big up!
