slices of vail

July 18, 2010

We were in the Vail Valley last week. It was incredibly beautiful.
And the perfect temperature…in the shade.
I have 1000s of pictures. Approximately 67% of them are of poppies.
The poppies were so vivid. I may post a poppy a day for the rest of the year…
Many of the photos above are from the Betty Ford Alpine [...]

Public Restroom Tourapalooza 2010

January 26, 2010

Last week we took a road trip to Colorado.

Yes, we like a LOT of other Texans think that Colorado should just be part of Texas (in fact I would be willing to negotiate a map fold arrangement where we cut out about 7 hours of the trip between DFW and Vail). One of the things [...]

Math time

January 20, 2010

I have had an issue of time in my home for the last 18 years – coincidentally, the exact number of years I have been married.
My home is divided into time zones, but not in coordinated lines of one hour intervals like the real world. Each house clock is the epicenter for it’s own random [...]

They get it

January 19, 2010

It may be because it is rare,
or because it often requires a long trip,
it appears that Texas born and bred boys…
truly value a good snowbank.
Snow is not a static object to be observed,
but something that requires active participation.
Snow calls their names.
Snow plays along.
Snow giggles.

Skiing the scenic route

January 5, 2010

This was a monumental year on the ski slopes. I am now the proud mother of three chairlift-riding skiers. Rhett began skiing last year, but he just wasn’t ready to go up to the top of the mountain and we spent a lot of time on the bunny slope riding up the magic carpet and [...]

This post was deep fat fried

October 16, 2009

I went to the State Fair of Texas for the first time on Thursday.
I know! I know!
I have been claiming Texas as home for nearly 20 years, yet I hadn’t been to it’s official fair…oh, and speaking about OFFICIAL:

Yes, it is true.
Not only is the State Fair of Texas BIG, but it also boasts to [...]

Excited

“Excited!” Photo Challenge from I ♥ Faces

August 2009 — Rhett(3) riding down the chairlift at Beaver Creek, CO.
He squealed and clung to the bar the whole way down the mountain.

Some things should just stay in Vegas

September 28, 2009

Blog-Stedman and I went to Las Vegas last week. It was a planned trip that we agonized over for a few weeks to assure that we could afford to go. It is no shock to those who know us that our approach to gambling is a bit different. Blog-Stedman is a low risk taker [...]

Potluck – Supersize me

September 13, 2009

It is back. I think.
It is Monday Potluck…

*Try to stay seated in your wildly applaudic state*
And now for a little…er, longish story entitled “Do I need to be super sized?”
Here is a little background:

Blog-Stedman and I have always laughed at the state of rental cars in America after seeing that commercial. It appears to [...]

Photos with 14 day delay

August 22, 2009

A few weeks ago we were in the Vail, CO area. I love summers in Vail. There is nothing that isn’t breathtakingly beautiful from every angle. It is really fun to take pictures there because it is hard to get a bad shot.
Covered Bridge.

Crow’s Nest.
Cargo Net.
Ship’s View.
Random acts of wildflowers.
Boys on a mission.
On the top [...]
