Today, Pippin turns 8 years old. I feel very happy to say his health has been good the past 4 or 5 months and he’s just as energetic and lively as he was when he was a kitten. He’s such a love bug and is as chatty as ever. I get such joy out of … More 2-28-22 Pippin’s birthday and other updates
Shari now knows why I like City Park Farmer’s Market. Food, food, food. I took her there this past Saturday morning and we started our time there splitting the vegan biscuits and gravy from The Easy Vegan. Best vegan biscuits I’ve found. And best vegan gravy. So it was a score for me. The biscuits … More 9-13-21 Out and about in Denver

I drove down to spend time with my family this weekend. I went down Saturday morning so Elisabeth wouldn’t have to watch Pippin and to try to avoid traffic. I caught up with my parents for a couple of hours before Kaitlin brought over Emily and Ollie. We played for a bit where Emily gave … More 5-10-21 Mother’s Day Weekend
While yesterday wasn’t as warm and sunny as Saturday was, I still enjoyed myself. I started the day by making another loaf of brioche. Third time’s the charm, right? I used the bread flour that Shari’s parents had given me and I even let the yeast rise a bit in a sugar and milk mixture. … More 5-3-21 A Pleasant Sunday
