This is Ellie’s latest evening dinner time performance. She had us cracking up last night with the crazy noises she was making with that plump bottom lip and the faces to go a long with it. Notice the shirt? That’s one of the projects that came out of the “snow day sew day“. Need to [...]

Hola, Gary here. I thought I would post lyrics to one of our favorites from Jeb Puryear and Donna the Buffalo. So it goes, way back during the Christmas of 2007, Danette and I went to the Treadway Inn in Owego, NY, for Jeb’s Solo CD Release Party. The album is Hopes & Dreams, and [...]

We have been able to show Ellie this week that there is so much more out there besides that cold white stuff. There are flowers, dirt, and green grass underneath all of of that. We still have a very small patch of snow remaining from the pile off our roof, but everything is finally starting [...]

We were seeking out spring blooms, green grass, and warm air as opposed to our few feet of remaining snow, mud, and sad looking vegetation. So we packed a picnic and headed to Red Butte Gardens. The daffodils were out in [...]

Ok, I have an emotional grip now I think. Gary and I have decided to mix things up a bit and relocate ourselves in the Ithaca, NY area for a while. We made the decision way back in January when we were on the long drive home from our visit over the holidays. Believe me [...]

Here is an inspirational song/video from The Be Good Tanyas that I found on one of my favorite blogs. I really like the animation, the quilts on the line, and the couple dancing with the mountain scene in the background. Those are my favorite highlights…oh and the song isn’t so bad, either.
