Cauldron Marbles

Garrett had a sleepover last night. He will be 4 years old in August (my birthday present 4 years ago!) and he is so dang fun right now. Everything he says just cracks me up. He and his best buddy, G.G., love to play Cauldron Marbles. I have no idea what it is, but Alex made it up when she was little and all three have loved it. Do you see the adoration in those little eyes?

Dads Knee Adventure

Well, for those of you wondering, Dad is finally home! He had a left knee total replacement on the 16th of March and he's been in the hospital since then with all kinds of excitement! Like the infection, the visit to the E.R., the crazy roommates, the forgotten meds, no bath for 10 days (Gross) and too many more to repeat! We spent the morning at his house today and made breakfast for he and Donna. He's his old fiesty self and she's frankly exhausted! If you're not squeemish, here's the knee too!

I'll Keep Working On It

I know. I seem to be obsessed with tulips. I never was all that keen on them until we went to Seattle during the Seattle Tulip Festival! They are so beautiful when hundreds of them are all bunched up together!


So, here's my attempt at the Lakewood Tulip Festival. I know, this photo was taken last year during yet another Spring Snowstorm. You see a trend here?

I know. I'll keep working on it.

Nine Years Ago Today

I can hardly believe it, but it's been 9 years since my Mom passed away! She was a barrel of fun and had way more energy than she should have had with all the things wrong with her body! She had the best sense of humor! One thing I'll never forget is how she changed lyrics to songs she didn't know the words to. She'd just make things up as she sang. Sometimes they were so crazy! I'll have a glass of wine to you tonight, Mom! I will love you always!

Ah....Springtime in Colorado!

Well, the weather guys were right, for a change! We haven't had much snow all year, so we'll just get it all at once! Wonder how my tulips are doing under there?

Spring Snow

We are expecting a huge snowstorm tonight. Surprise, must be March. And my tulips were in full bloom and ready to pop at any moment! A little early, I suppose, but STILL! So, I spent a little time today building a plastic tent for them to live in during this nasty little turn in the weather. Cross your fingers. Maybe they'll make it.....

My Alter Ego

I love doing Magic Moments. Of course there are many reasons. I love rekindling old friendships and making new ones. I love working hard and getting back in shape doing things I enjoy like tap dancing. I love watching people change and grow from their own personal experiences. But my favorite thing is being able to do something I never thought I could do. This year, I got to be a zombie. Anyone who knows me will tell you I don't like scary things. Zombies are right up there. So I think I grew a little this year. What do you think? A good look for me?
