Fran Meneley Our days in lovely Barcelona, began and ended with Tapas – delicious small dishes accompanied by a glass of wine, coffee or sometimes, for me, an orange Fanta. I'm not European enough to do wine before lunch…even on vacation! We spent hours wandering the narrow streets of the the El Born and Gothic Quarters – … Continue Reading
Buenos Dias! Back from Spain, I'm suffering severe jet lag (I know, poor me), but dragged myself to the computer to peruse my photos and relive our wonderful trip. So grab a cafe con leche (Spanish coffee is better than any I have ever had), like we did above, on a regular basis – like … Continue Reading
Adios, amigos! I am off to Spain for a week with my husband. We'll be enjoying some tapas and some great wine, seeing some incredible architecture, a bull fight and I'll probably try dragging him to see some flamenco as well.

I've been taking Miss Mary Ann's online class "Pure Experimentation: Stencilry" and having a blast donning my spray mask and going to town with a variety of spray cans and stencils. My son was out of school yesterday so we spent a couple of hours stinking up the garage and going to town. This is the … Continue Reading
Eddie Running Wolf is back in town working his sculptural magic on one of the dead Cottonwood trees along Niwot Road. You might remember that I posted about this lovely wood sculpture, "Spear Man Lodge," which he completed last October. Eddie is a descendent of the Northern Cheyenne and a very accomplished artist. He toiled under … Continue Reading
We tried a new burger joint this weekend and it was FABULOUS! And not only is the food really, really good but everything you see on this tray is either edible or compostible. That's right!
