Hola! Tomorrow morning we are off to Zihuatanejo for a week of fun in the sun. If all goes as planned we will be meeting Scott and Julie on the beach with tropical drinks! We can’t wail. We aren’t bringing laptops (thank goodness) so no blogging while we are away – of course I will [...]

Saturday we took Lola for a walk in the flat irons at Chitaquawa – here she is posing as a regal little pup. I was definitely styling in my puppy-fanny pack – fortunately boulder is filled with Dog owners and they think this look rocks!! After the long walk Lola played “Dead dog” under our [...]

So I finally did it. After years of being told to shut up when criticizing America because I’m not a citizen, I figured I’d pay the price of admission… Also, if this takes a year or less, I’ll be able to vote in the midterm elections and help swing this purple state blue. I guess [...]

And the Winner is… I am trying to document the invites that I have been doing lately – and what better place to store them than the blog! This invite is for a red carpet event in honor of Amy. The first comment from Josh’s mouth was “I thought you hated center alignment” – its [...]

We had a lovely dinner with our friends at Bloom – great place with fantastic wine flights, my favorite, the Rhone Ranger Flight. For our true celebration we are heading down to Zihuatanejo, Mexico for a week of fun in the sun – [...]

Lasso Love in the Big Sky State

Wednesday, July 27th, 2005

I have been working on wedding invitations for a family friend, Rebecca Huntington and her fiance Reed. We worked with a graphic version of the columbine flower but wanted to give that rustic casual flair. It was a great project. I also was able to print borderless on the envelopes – yes this is cool [...]

Black Panther Attack!! Our little Cricket caught herselft a flying grasshopper. As she carried it through the grass it flapped its wings and looked like a bow-tie (can’t really see in the photo). It was tons of fun taunting Hopper into flying (jumping) and then recapturing him.

After our game of golf, Sonja and I whipped out the back fence. We pulled off the horizontal slats, put up wire and then reattached the wood. (its hard to see, but I am wearing my Happy Birthday Jonathan shirt – which is a very inspirational work shirt)

Our Neighbors Sonja and Bernie are extremely handy – they have done all of their own landscaping and encourage us to build our own fence instead of paying to have it installed. So Saturday morning at 6:00 Sonja and I headed to golf (tough life), and Bernie and Mark headed to Home Depot. They rented [...]

Cricket learned a new trick – playing dead. She spends much of her day snuggled up stairs in the warmth of all of our machines learning through osmosis.
