Pretty Porch

Gotta say --- It's a pretty porch.  Love, love, love.

Welcome Home from Mister

After being gone for 12 days, these gorgeous welcome home flowers greet me today.  Lovely, simply lovely.

Telluride Time - Last Five Days

9/7  Today is clean up the house day.  Amanda and Trent are returning tonight and I want it perfect for them.  We all pitch in and even get all the laundry finished.  There is time for an afternoon walk to the waterfall which is great fun, especially after seeing the bear yesterday.

Soon, though, everyone relaxes and enjoys the walk.

Caleb treats us to the usual and drops his pants to pee.  This kid seriously doesn't give  a rip who is around.

Telluride Time - First Seven Days

8/31  Up, up, and away.  Look out Telluride -- here I come.  It's a direct flight to Montrose where we land and use stairs and a ramp to deplane.  Then a small walk into the airport.  I haven't done that in awhile.  I am picked up at the airport by a shuttle as there is a crisis at the dental office and my daughter can't make the trip.  No problem.  My only worry is if he will stop at the quilt shop so I can pick up the Row by Rows that people want.  He obliges me and $100.00 later, we are on our way to Telluride.  Fantastic driver.  When I get to town, I have some time to kill before Amanda is free so I wander the streets.  First thing I spot in a window:  this sweet little Featherweight.  Yes, I asked.  No, she is not for sale.

Jen's in Town Overnight

My daughter has a chance to come and stay for the night and I am super stoked.  It's not often that she can just come and visit and I want to take complete advantage of it.  Chatting, napping, chatting, sewing . . . all will take place.

A Little Yard Happiness

My blackberry bushes are loaded and I am absolutely adoring the glory of it.

Session 7 - Colorado Boys - Days 5 & 6 and Travel

We have tackled most of the places these three wanted to visit while here but haven't done the things here at the house that they want yet.  Today we are staying in and doing just that.  I have bird houses to build but the only one who wants to is Caleb.  The other two want to chill and watcha a movie.  No worries.  Come on Caleb, let's make a birdhouse.  With glue guns at the ready, we soon have this little cutie ready to hang.  Grandpa can help Caleb with that when it's all dry and ready.  Good job, little man.
