I’m on vacation in Colorado, visiting family. I was here last year about roughly the same time of year and my husband and I took a beautiful hike to see the wildflowers. The original post of the photos I took did not do the flowers justice, so here is a mosaic of the best shots.… Continue Reading

OM :: The Trip Flip
On this last day before our family vacation, I’m excited to have jiggered my brain into actually taking the vacation. As a family, we travel to Colorado twice a year to see my father-in-law. He lives just outside of Denver in the foothills and it is a beautiful place to visit. We’ve been travelling there… Continue Reading

OM :: The Frog

My moment came when Abe said during breakfast clean-up one morning that he’d like to be a card… Continue Reading
Dogs Without Blogs :: Ping
When humans appreciate our doggie noises, it makes my heart sing a little. Meet Ping and her human, Angie, who enjoys giving belly rubs and listening to Ping’s groans of “THAT is fantastic.” The simple pleasures of dogdom… Dog Questions What is your name? Penelope Ping Steyee What breed of dog are you? German Shorthair… Continue Reading
My Creative Space
I first saw my creative space on sara’s blog for 5 o’clock crows. What a great idea to get a small peek into someone’s craft. I’m creating tags for someone’s baby shower. I’ve made so many tags with this little elephant that I should get tired of seeing him (and yes, he is a him.)… Continue Reading
