I love when I stumble across old photos like this one
This one is from December 30, 2003, so 6 years ago today and was taken in Vail, CO. This is Zoe and me (I’m on the right). It is hard to believe Zoe was so small I carried her inside my jacket to keep her warm. We had only had Zoe a few...

Yes, my friend’s Rob Sansom and Scott Ashley are headed to Denver in mid-January for a long weekend. I am very excited as they are two of my absolute favorite people in the whole world. Dale and I love them dearly and are so excited to ...

A message from Dale

Baking frenzy
Today, Dale and I were joined by our friend Barb Pemble to make 90 frosted holiday sugar cookies, which will be gifted to some special people this holiday season. It was so much fun and hopefully... ...
Sometimes we all get tired

More updates on the cards
Tonight, Dale started reading more of this 325+ cards. I tried to record on Facebook and Twitter as many of them, so everyone could be a part of the amazing experience. Here goes: ... ...

Saying her prayers
I snapped this photo of our dog, Millie on Monday while she was lying at the foot of our bed. Sometimes she can be so darn adorable. She is 1/2 Bassett Hound and 1/2 Lhasa Apso, not to mention Dale's... ...
My favorite picture of Dale and Tom
Well, Dale and Tom Turkey that is. I figured since we were not making a turkey for Thanksgiving this year, I could at least bring some holiday cheer to the porch with our giant inflatable... ...
After 7 years, Dale and I finally…
…combined our address books into one. I guess that means we have to stay together forever because you can’t split your address in two. Plus I love the guy to pieces, so he is stuck with... ...
Look what Dale bought me on Friday
So cute. So adorable. It is from Hallmark. Each year I collect their musical snowman from Hallmark. This year no snowman, but a piano playing Snoopy with Woodstock. I love it. Thanks Dale. Love... ...

Deconstructing Halloween
I got up at 7:00 AM today and by 9:00 AM all the Halloween decorations we safely returned to their home in the basement until next year. It is always fun to decorate, but what a pain to... ...
The last soldiers
Here is what remains of the Halloween candy. Last night this bucket was filled to the top and now a lonely 15 pieces remain. The last soldiers. Sad. ...
Halloween window display
This year for Halloween we did a fun Halloween display in the front window that projected haunted images. It was a huge hit and at some times throughout the night, we have about 10-20 people... ...

I love when Zoe gets like this
Zoe is not a small dog. She is 55 pounds and a pretty solid dog, but I love, love, love, when she gets in a little ball like this. It is just so amazing how dogs do this. It looks so... ...
Spectacular spooktacular
I felt better this afternoon, so I took about 30 minutes and got the porch ready for Halloween. We are not going as “overboard” as previous years, but still wanted to make sure we had something... ...
We got spooked
In our neighborhood there is a tradition where you leave Halloween gifts on your neighbors door during the month of October and “spook” them. We got spooked last week and do not know who did... ...
Swine flu obsessed
I find it interesting how swine flu obsessed America has truly become. It seems like anytime that anyone says they have the flu, everyone wants it to be swine flu, so they can say they know... ...
Smile delivered
Having the flu completely sucks. Getting a wonderful fruit basket in the mail from a dear friend makes it suck a lot less. Today, Dale and I received a great treat delivered to our door... ...
Apples
Dale and I received a wonderful package in the mail. My former co-workers, Laura Ling and Rob Dixon sent us the most delicious box of 16 apples from back East. They are so tasty. I... ...

Owen went out and got himself some tail! Yes, my boy Owen has himself a girlfriend (or boyfriend, who am I to judge). Today was the first time Owen has had his little friend to the... ...
Dinner for the dead
This is what our dining room window looks like at night now and for the rest of October. I think it came out pretty cool and will be fun for when the trick-or-treaters wonder by later this... ...
