The Fourth of July always feels to me like the middle of the summer somehow. Technically, I think we have more summer left than we've just had, but it just feels like mid-summer. And this year I'm loving July as much as I did June. Maybe it's all the cool weather and rain we've had … Continue Reading
Our little escape to the hills last week was to Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado – just outside Aspen. Despite it's reputation as a celebrity hangout, it is one of the most beautiful parts of the state. And with all the rain the state has gotten, it was emerald green. Anderson Ranch is a learning … 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
There is a place calling my name – known commonly as: "Spring Break". It's on the other side of Crazy Town. Waaaay on the other side. Lovely, isn't it? It's warm and green and has a beach. I will try to post from the road if I can drag my sorry ass off the chaise … Continue Reading
There's nothing you can do that can't be done. Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. It's easy. There's nothing you can make that can't be made. No one you can save that can't be saved. Nothing you can do but … Continue Reading
Happy 2009! I don't know about you, but I'm ready to move on. Sayonara 2008 – we loved you, but we are setting sail on the turning of the tide. There's an excitement in the air. Change has come and I think it's bigger than the election. To that end I have been thinking about … Continue Reading
Well the holidays caught up with me….I have a cold. It's been through the family. Now it's my turn. I made it through 2 Hanukkah dinners (for 16 and 8) , our annual Christmas Eve skating party (for 50), and Christmas Dinner (for 9). And now I have an excuse to laze about with impunity. … Continue Reading
Merry Christmas everyone! A little walk over the weekend had me peeking in the shop windows of my little town. We live in a very small town, next to a couple of much bigger ones. It's the best of both worlds. I can get my big city fix and yet I know most of … Continue Reading
Baby, it's really cold outside. I mean, as my husband would say, "butt freezing". We've had a little arctic air enfold us in it's frigid vice grip and it's insanely cold. A very short walk out in the "garden" – it's more like a scene from Dr. Zhivago today – revealed some surprising color… … Continue Reading
This was the sky this morning. Winter. The sky glows with such rich hues this time of year. Almost the turning towards the light, but not quite. I've been tuning into the morning and evening sky recently. It's helping me get through the darkness. So beautiful. Tune into what lights up your world.
