Old-Fashioned 4th in Silverton

July 11, 2011

In planning our trip to Durango I came across many a recommendation to spend our 4th in Silverton.  It’s an itty bitty mining town that boasts the “largest fireworks display on Colorado’s western slope.”  Unfortunately, I can’t speak to aforementioned fireworks display because we didn’t stay long enough to experience it.  We were present, however, [...]

Down by the Banks

July 10, 2011

Did ya miss me? We were off gallivanting in Colorado for the 4th.  It was awesome, let me just say. Here in the desert there are certain things that are few and far between.  Grass and trees and water being among them.  But in the high country of colorful Colorado those things are aplenty.  It’s [...]

So…here’s the thing.  I’m not so much into zero dark thirty mornings. But Kennedy?  Kennedy foams at the mouth when she hears the words ‘black’ and ‘friday’ mentioned in the same sentence. Are we going to Mimi’s for breakfast on Friday?  Can we go to Best Buy?  What time should I set my alarm for? [...]

Even Then

November 13, 2010

My husband and I don’t exchange gifts.  Ever. Not for Christmas.  Or lovey-dovey Valentines.  Or anniversaries.  Not even birthdays.  Not.  Ever. I’m not one of those wives that expects–or even wants–flowers.  Flowers die. Nor do I want jewelry; it’s burdensome to wear. If I want chocolates I’ll stop by See’s and pick out my own.  [...]
