And back into the Icebox!!!

Last night it started to rain.  We went to bed fairly early because Morgan had a field trip to go on and they had to leave at 6am this morning. At some point in the night, the rain turned to snow. Daniel turned up around 2:15am. He didn’t want to fall asleep and not be [...]

Update on life, part 2

I ran out of hours in the day…  I didin’t get to the fun of Thursday. We got Morgan off to school and I started to get ready for the day. Spike, Daniel’s dog, went tearing into the house and scared the kitten, 5. 5 ran and Spike gave chase. He caught the kitten and [...]

Chaos Central

Oh gods…. Since I last wrote, school has started, and we’ve had company, and TEENS!!! At the same time no less. Aieeeee!!!!! So very busy. The weekend of the 29th, we had four teens…. three girls and one boy spending the night for Friday and Saturday night. Giggles, gory movies, lots of junk food and [...]

Rainy hikes, college grades and flying dogs

It has been a busy month! I finally had enough of a break in classes to go hiking with my Dad and Dan. Wheee!!! We headed up to Apishipa Pass. Of course, it was rainy! In fact, it got worse. Dan and Dad hiked down one trail and I took a shorter hike up to [...]

Teens, drama and dogs

We’ve had Morgan and Kayla at the 520 house for the last three nights. We had Matt here last night as well. That wasn’t too bad, but we also babysat Spike for Daniel. The house was full of noise. Squeals, barks, hisses and noise from the TV and computers. We got a short break when [...]

Babysitting…

Daniel brought Spike over to play with Blanca and Brandy. Oh how that pup has grown.
I can barely lift him now as he weighs nearly 45 pounds.  Our new cat, Shadow wasn’t too concerned that Spike was around.
She just laid there snoozing while Spike, Brandy and Blanca ran around like three little kids on a [...]

Power Breakfasts and Snowflakes

If I had to characterize the last ten days it would snow, sun, snow, power breakfasts and snow. It has snowed almost every other day. Some of it wet and slushy, others of it freezing cold and icy shards. Then the next day it would be 65 degrees! Gads!!! On Easter Sunday, we woke to [...]

Cold, quiet and queesy

Today was one of those typical Colorado weather days. Wait five minutes and the weather will change. We’ve had snow, sun and wind in various combinations all day. Oh, and Cold! My fingers nearly froze trying to get my resume ready this morning. I applied for a secretarial job out in La Veta today. Took [...]

Then Hell froze over…

You see, yesterday was my last day of work. I resigned on the 12th. Finally had enough of the board breaking the law. I can say stuff now that I am no longer employed. Wheeeee!!!!
In case you the audience hadn’t guessed, they screwed up big time. Broke the Sunshine Law, various state and federal tax [...]

Grandpuppy came to Visit

In the midst of everything this week, Daniel turned 19 on the 2nd. I babysat the puppy for him. Oh, and took lots of pictures.
Next time the puppy comes to visit, I hope that Daniel would have named him. He will also get to play with Brandy and Blanca next time.
