photo – vacation

flower addiction

July 25, 2011

We spent last week in the Vail Valley. It was literally 35 degrees cooler there than here when we arrived. 35 degrees. One of my favorite things about vacation is just taking pictures. I probably have 100 pictures of orange poppies only rivaled by the number of pictures of pink poppies only rivaled by the [...]

the photos that caused a vacation

June 17, 2011

This is my favorite photo. It is my boys and me on a sailboat in St. Thomas 4 years ago. We went on vacation with my in-laws in celebration of their 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was a wonderful week of family covered in water and sand. When we returned, I made a Shutterfly photo book [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

State Fair of Texas Fried Food Capital of Texas sign

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 [...]

“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 and [...]
