Over the weekend the family decided to hike a 14-er, Pike's Peak. Husband hiked 10 14-er's last year and said they were pretty simple to hike. A bit steep but not stretched out so it didn't take him very long to summit. For some reason, Pike's Peak was different from all that. The hike was... Continue Reading →
The other night, the family had grilled lobster for dinner. It was our first time having lobster at home and it was delicious. Although, our youngest daughter didn't eat any. She was saddened that the lobster was killed to be our dinner so she couldn't even look at it.

My daughter asked me to buy her a flapper dress for a school play, but instead, I decided to make one. I've never sewn a full dress but I gave it a try. It didn't turn out too bad.

I mainly went because I wanted to get a photo for the 365 challenge but the broccoli and asparagus were calling my name. I made steamed broccoli and had it with baked lemon salmon, white rice, and a veggie salad of... Continue Reading →
{365 Gallery Theme: Walk} This morning, my daughter, Teddy, and I went for a morning walk. My daughter rode her bike while I walked and added some jogging in between. Above, Teddy's waiting on me to take this photo. She was really excited to get going.
{This photo can also be seen at 365 Gallery for today's theme, 'Peaceful Moments'} Just a few beautiful things from the yard this morning. A couple of ants on a peony bud. Not really a beautiful scene but just thought I'd throw it in. I see these ants every year. Wonder if I should leave... Continue Reading →
