Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is a snowy view outside the new patio door this morning with a toasty temperature of -8*. I am glad to be inside and almost done with moving. Of course, the hard part for me still remains which is cleaning the former address. Thankfully I have plenty of time to do that. It's wild to realize that we are almost through January! The new year has been speeding by. It has been a busy couple of weeks in our little corner of the world. We rented a U-Haul and spent a day moving the big stuff, the TV cabinet, bookcases, a bed and looms. After two loads I had two very punchy and tired...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The view through the picture window today has a touch of snow added to it. The white stuff decided to visit yesterday to remind us that it really is winter in the Fort. I imagine it will be gone soon. The same cannot be said of Vail at the moment. What did we do this first week of 2025? Holiday traditions over the past couple of years have changed and instead of hosting Eve we have now been celebrating the season with a holiday dinner out. This year's was very relaxed and comfortable. With the girls both being away at college this fall, they still wanted some of the foods I used to prepare, so...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I'm sitting by my big picture window with a pastel winter sky outside. One of the last few Sundays I'll have this view. Thing is, that makes me happy. Just as 2024 is closing so is this chapter of life. What have we been up to the last two weeks? The East Coasters survived their finals and the trip back. Both of them did amazing jobs with so many things this semester. Amanda has professionally dealt with less than productive team members and maintained her composure. Serra has dealt with roommate changes, social differences and being on her own with grace. And each of them kept outstanding grades. Thankfully there were no problems with travel...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun and I are both slow to wake up today, unless you count the fact that I woke at 330 am and rolled over to go back to sleep. Rare for me to do! The pale winter sky has brightened with the promise of spring and a sunny day. Again, a rarity considering we are halfway through December! What did we do this week? It was a quiet and lazy one for the girls as finals at both colleges started. They have been sleeping late and studying or tutoring friends as needed. Amanda spent some time prototyping in the lab and has presentations to attend and give next week. Serra got to experience one...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Pastel winter sun is rising in the sky and yes, I did miss last Sunday. This time last week I was headed over the hill to spend some time with Daddy in Grand Junction. Thankfully I did not run into any snow on the trip over or back and had smooth sailing. Glenwood Canyon is always one of my favorite sights to see. What happened over the last two weeks? Amanda and Serra enacted a plan to spend Thanksgiving together. They ate Ghost Burgers, Green Chile, and Lumpia Nachos, and had some good down time and sister time. I was glad the weather cooperated, and they didn't get caught in the lake effect snow that hit...
