When I was a kid I always loved cameras. I would save up my money to buy a disposable camera (the cool ones with the flash!) and take them to Walmart to be developed. I have boxes and boxes (I know this because I am trying to move them around for the basement remodel) of photos in my basement from those days. I took photos of the people in my life and the places I went - but mostly the people! I've always been a people person and I have always valued photos of people. Even on vacations, ... continue reading...

INGREDIENTS:- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Coco Powder- 2 Cups ... continue reading...

It is a cycle - stay up late, get up late, rush all day, stress about everything and all things and stay up late to "get it all done." My shoulders ... continue reading...
Park Days
This holiday weekend we tried to spend as much time outside as possible.

We also got some headway on finishing our basement, helped friends landscape their backyard, went to a Rockies Game, attended Eagle Lake Chapel at the Glen, and watched an ... continue reading...
