The year flew by. I tried and failed at many things this year, but this last day of the year, I'm going to share the positive things, and my favorites. The photo above is a dish I made trying out roasted purple cauliflower. It's hard to see but to the right of the salmon is... Continue Reading →
The family went to the Botanic Garden over the weekend to see the Blossoms of Light for the first time. I believe the display has been around for awhile. It was beautiful but there were so many people. We bought tickets in advance to be on the safe side and I'm glad we did because... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, Mom would make buttered tortillas for us (seven of us kids) for breakfast then send us on our way to grade school. It has been a whirlwind raising my own kids. They are super picky. The older one doesn't like tortilla with just butter. She prefers quesadillas. I've made a... Continue Reading →
The family went to watch a baseball game at the Coors Field in Denver. The game started out great but the Rockies lost. We weren't there to see the end because we left when the second thunderstorm came through. I took some photos with my phone and did some editing with VSCO. This first photo... Continue Reading →
July was a busy month. Swim is done for my youngest. It was very intense and we're glad to be done with it but we will probably join a less rigorous swim team during the school year. School starts for my youngest this coming Monday. She'll be in 5th grade, the last grade in grade... Continue Reading →
This was my first hike this year. This was a really easy hike. The landscape was mainly flat so I did't get much workout in, which is fine for now since it's been awhile. The views were beautiful and very green. We laid down a couple of rocks for Kat, the girl who passed away... Continue Reading →
Earlier this month my girls performed their last dance recital. They've moved on to other activities as mentioned in a previous post. This was a bittersweet performance not only because my daughters won't be dancing anymore (my oldest just loves ballet and lyrical), but also because a girl at the dance studio committed suicide and...

My kids have been busy with summer activities so I haven't had much time to do anything really. Both the girls have left the world of dance. One moved on to Poms and the other to swim - although swim is only for the summer. I haven't decided if I'll be putting her in anything... Continue Reading →
I'm in the process of moving some large files over to another external drive to make room for those REF files from my camera, so while that's moving along in the background, I thought I'd share what I was painting the last couple of days. This was done using a reference digital painting by Larry... Continue Reading →
