Pip and I went out on a date this past weekend and our destination of choice, when we go out, is downtown. We love walking through the city in the evening. Love. And we love Denver.
I do not love walking the length of the 16th street mall 20 times in shoes that are anything less [...]
Ok, we left off as we were driving into Nashville…that part is not particularly eventful so I’ll move on.
We really loved Nashville and if presented with the opportunity we would probably move there without a second thought IF Jen and Chad were still there, which is doubtful seeing as how they are freakin’ nomads! They [...]
At long last…the annual “What we did on our Summer Vacation.”
I figured I should get this out before it’s Fall, and since I’m now under a deadline, and since I procrastinate,
I’m more likely to actually finish.
This Summer’s vacation was a cross country (almost) road trip to Nashville, Tennessee. It would be a lie if I

“The first week at August’s was a consolation, a pure relief. The world will give you that once in a while, a brief time-out; the boxing bell rings and you go to your corner, where somebody dabs mercy on your beat-up life.”

Because we’ve been lacking in the “funny” around here, I thought I’d let you all know that Pip keeps everyone laughing.
It looks innocent enough no? They were playing angels in the living room…but wait!…what’s that figure disappearing into another room?
Yes, people. That would be Pip, dressed as an angel. If you look closely you can [...]
Today is monumental for us, and for Pip I think it ranks right up there with the day we were married and the birth of his children, possibly even the day that the Beatles released their first album.
Here is Elsie: Our new greyhound.
Pip tried to “wash the devil out of her” at the local self-serve [...]
…it’s been forever. We did move, so that will be my excuse.
And for a jump back into blogging, here are a few “Pip”isms:
After a major blow up by DQ about her lying and screaming and throwing all kinds of tantrums, she gets sent to her room and Pip comes upstairs looking downtrodden and says, [...]
Me to Pip: “How come you’re so cute?”
Pip: “I don’t know. Maybe I was born with it…maybe it’s Manbelline.”
Me: “Manbelline?”
That’s when I came upstairs to type this, to his his chorus of “Nooooooooo!”
DQ saw this poncho in The Yarn Girls’ Guide to Knits for Older Kids and asked for it. I’m a sucker. It was supposed to be done by Valentine’s Day, but I have this issue with getting bored with projects and starting new ones before I’m finished. At any rate, it’s done. Yes, it has the [...]

You might be thinking, “Nice picture of your pedicure.”, but see that’s where you would be wrong. These would be the husband’s feet. The kids decided to give him a makeover, and this is the only part of [...]
