This is another shot I took while climbing up the Castle Rock. The evening started out a bit drizzly, but then the sun broke through and we were able to watch a beautiful sunset.

The youth group from Landmark Christian Academy in Kentucky came in yesterday and we took them all to climb the Castle Rock in town. It turned out to be a beautiful evening and a great little hike.

I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but planning new and interesting meals never comes easily for me. It was Chris who came up with kabobs today, and it was the perfect summer dish. It was delicious, and looked so great- I had to share!

We got home about 2:30 in the morning from stuffing 15,000 postcards and John Romans into little plastic baggies. Between Thursday and last night we spent about 10 hours stuffing them and finally finished! The first youth group will be coming on Monday to help hang all of these bags on people’s doors, to invite […]

I finally have an art post on my art post day! :) This piece is very different from any piece I’ve ever done, and it is fast becoming one of my favorites. One of my biggest frustrations when I paint is that I tend to over-smooth edges and end up just taking most of the […]

Mom and dad left for their three-day journey back to Ontario this morning. They left a wonderful stack of home interior magazines and a priceless jug of Canadian maple syrup. For some reason, I keep finding water glasses with about an inch of water in each of them, hidden in inconspicuous corners around the apartment […]

I took this shot while we were in Fort Collins on the weekend. I’ve never seen a barber shop with all of the vintage equipment like this one had. Everything from the sinks to the waiting chairs were from at least fifty years old from my guessing. It was a really great shop, I only […]

Yesterday was a long, hot day but a great one. The original plan was to spend some time hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park, but we didn’t quite get that far. In the morning Chris and my dad took the bikes out to catch some garage sales and then came back for the car […]

Chris and I took a walk around our apartment complex and visited our bovine neighbors. It is pretty strange to see a field full of cows between us and the apartment complex beside us, but it provides interest. I am used to seeing cows from growing up on a small farm, but seeing them in […]
