6-24-21 Celebration Weekend

June 24, 2021

Last weekend, Shari and I went down to my parents’ house to hang out and celebrate all the birthdays in June: my dad, Kevin, AND Ollie. Plus, it was Father’s Day weekend. This was the first time Shari had spent extensive time with my family and she did great! My family and I can be … More 6-24-21 Celebration Weekend

6-13-21 Mountains, pool, friends, movie

June 13, 2021

Summer is in full swing here in Colorado. The gloomy days have finally passed, I think, which makes me feel both happy and sad. Happy because it means more sun and heat and those lovely puffy white clouds I adore. But also sad because it means hot nights and the apartment’s AC is old and … More 6-13-21 Mountains, pool, friends, movie

What I like Wednesday: Garden of the Gods

April 7, 2021

It’s time I spotlight something a bit farther outside Denver than I’ve yet to do. There are places outside of the Denver area and its surrounding cities that deserve highlights too. There are places like Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs – a free park featuring beautiful red rocks and hiking trails. You can … More What I like Wednesday: Garden of the Gods

My weekend 10-12 & 10-13

October 13, 2019

I had a lovely visit with my parents this weekend. We visited two plant shops! Two! First, we stopped at Phelan Gardens and let me tell you, it is a fantastic place, I fell in love with it instantly. They have a great set up, some really cute decor pieces (including a citrus poster I’m … More My weekend 10-12 & 10-13

Pathfinder & time with family

December 30, 2017

Last night we played our Pathfinder game again because of the adventure pack Gene got from my parents for Christmas. Since we hadn’t played in at least four months (we were focusing our time on Pandemic Legacy) we were a tiny bit rusty but we did okay. We kinda sorta won the game but since … More Pathfinder & time with family

Jim Gaffigan and… BABY

December 11, 2016

My weekend has been extremely exciting. It started with me visiting my parents on Saturday while KAITLIN WENT INTO LABOR two and a half weeks early. Saturday morning she found herself having contractions fast enough and long enough to warrant her going to the hospital. So while she was giving birth, Gene, my parents, and … More Jim Gaffigan and… BABY

Colorado Springs, Pokemon, and Pueblo

July 26, 2016

This past weekend Gene and I visited my parents in Colorado Springs. We taught them how to play Pandemic (I love my cooperative games) and I started playing Pokemon Go. There aren’t any pokemon at my house so I gave up trying to play when it first came out but thought I’d give it a … More Colorado Springs, Pokemon, and Pueblo

@shurri88 and I wandered Windsor Gardens looking at Christmas lights the other day. Want to see some lights but not sure where to go? That retirement community knows how to bring it, #goals. One building was even showing Rudolph, the movie. Does our selfie look a little evil? Wasn't intentional, lol, but maybe it's revealing our hidden selves? Had to include my Christmas selfie with Pippin too. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season! Happy Christmas Eve.
