The rose bush husband planted last summer was eaten by our puppy, Teddy. She ate everything that was visible. We thought for sure the bush wasn't going to come back but it did! Teddy seems to be leaving it alone now. There's not much in the backyard and I'm not thrilled at taking photos of... Continue Reading →
On the cruise, I had Eggs Benedict for breakfast a couple of times and just really loved it. I've never had it before so I had nothing to compare it to. This is what I had on the cruise (taken with an old Nikon Coolpix). When I got home, I looked for Eggs Benedict and... Continue Reading →
Last week the family went on a cruise. This was supposed to be my dad's retirement "party" gift but a few months back we learned that he wasn't retiring until later in the year. Nevertheless, it was still a fabulous week long vacation with 5 days on a cruise ship. Mom and Dad both enjoyed... Continue Reading →
All photos were taken at or above 12,000 feet above sea level. Photos taken with Galaxy SII. I won't be hiking for along time after the incident mentioned in yesterday's blog post, but I do plan to head back up to Pike's summit.
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.

Getting ready for the cruise (very nervous for various reasons, though). Got these neutral pumps from Target for $19.99. They hurt my feet so I put in some Dr. Scholl's Comfort Insoles and they seem to be keeping the pain away. Why didn't I think of using these with my other heels? Initially I thought...

Husband planted flowers on the side of the driveway. I love how bright and pretty these flowers make our home feel. The flowers below were planted a couple of years ago. They are the first pinks to show up and are always an exciting sight to see.
Husband ran the Bolder Boulder 10K on Memorial Day. The family went to cheer him on and to watch a small tribute to a couple of veterans. Making our way to husband's running group. Waiting for husband to run by. There were quite a few runners in unique outfits and clothes. It made it exciting... Continue Reading →
