Introducing…Miss Walker! (Jan 2015)

Introducing…Miss Walker! (Jan 2015) We are horse owners!  I know, we are as shocked as all of you.  Our wonderful, kind neighbors have four horses.  One of them, Walker, is a tried and true trail horse.  I’ve ridden her myself a few times. But, Walker is older and a bit slower than the horses our…

Snow Fence repair (12-29-14)

Snow Fence repair (12-29-14) Well, what did that take, a week before the dang fence broke? Monday after vacation was tough.  We fought with the internet and varying forms of technology; catching up on work and dealing with the idiots at work took up the rest of the work day.  I was very happy to…

JR is Sorry (Dec 2014)

JR is Sorry (Dec 2014) Well, he’s apologetic, not sorry! How perfect is this shirt JR’s mom sent him? We love you JR, but this is so accurate!  Laura, this was especially appropriate on Tuesday night.  JR skipped lunch, drove me to physical therapy, ran some errands, and was waiting to pick me up (I was…

Christmas 2014!

Christmas 2014! Thank you to the Maurais family for a wonderful Christmas, and for hosting and putting up with us!  We had a great time! JR and I headed to Winter Park for Christmas to visit with Allison, Don, Olivia, Tyler, and Holly.  We lucked out on the weather heading down.  We took mostly two-laners…

Snow Fence (12-13-14)

Snow Fence (12-13-14) We finally did it.  We have road markers and snow fence.  Whew! Friday after work, in the short hour before it gets dark, JR and I put in the road markers.  25 or so of them covering all the curves in the road.  Supervisor #2 “helped.” I don’t know how she can…

I Know, I Know (11-30-14)

I Know, I Know (11-30-14) I know, there’s been no new content in quite awhile.  We’ve been very busy, and not busy at all.  JR has been the very busy one, and I have done absolutely nothing in the past five weeks (other than work).  My status is due to a minor revision surgery back in…

Sunrise (10-14-14)

Sunrise (10-14-14) Just like that, it’s dark when I get up in the mornings.  That happened fast.  Winter is just around the corner I suppose.  There’s a bonus though – I’m up to see these beautiful sunrises.  From Tuesday: I love that pink glow on the snow-covered mountain-tops.

Landscape – Phase II (8-20-14)

Landscape – Phase II (8-20-14) This is a long-overdue post which, frankly, seems anticlimactic now that most of the shrubs have gone into winter-mode and have no more blooms or leaves (thanks to two snows already).  But…here we go…. Fini! JR and I got to give a little input on the location of our new…
