These buds are from one of our maple trees in the back yard. Looks like just a couple of warm days would have these buds really popping out. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is calling for a chance of snow showers Thursday morning. But we could be in Laramie, Wyoming where the high today is supposed …

Up, Up and Away
Yesterday Tommy and I were sitting in our family room watching TV. It was a beautiful day outside and the sun was shining. All of a sudden a shadow passed over the house and then did it again. We looked at each other and as we did we heard a deep hissing noise. It was …
Rotator cuff damage and he’s not a pitcher!
Tommy had surgery today to repair his rotator cuff. It had been getting increasingly painful for him to do anything with his right arm. So, after an MRI last week, the surgeon said, “Let’s operate.” Tommy was to the point he was having a hard time sleeping and anything he did with his right arm …

Happy Birthday Poopsie!
It is so hard to imagine that 30 years ago Tommy and I welcomed a baby girl into our family. Amanda/Kennedy/Poopsie–whatever you call her–has brought such joy to us. Yes, Amanda, we do feel older now that you’re 30. Does that make your birthday? :) Love you bunches!
A Week of Snow

Wyoming Christmas – Going Home
We had a wonderful time with the kids while we were in Wyoming, but we had to go home. The drive home is always the worst part of our road trips. No more excitement about going on vacation, seeing the kids and celebrating Christmas. Luckily we had no problem with the weather–the drive was uneventful, …
Wyoming Christmas – Day 10
Since the weather forecast called for a snow storm coming into Laramie, Hall and Sara decided they’d better get out of town earlier than planned. So for their last day we took them on a drive outside of town. We wanted to show Sara that when you drive a few minutes out of town you …
Wyoming Christmas – Day 9
Time to go sledding!
Wyoming Christmas – Day 8
Christmas Day started out beautiful but cold. The trees at the park across the street were covered with hoar frost or, as some people call it, rime ice. We took the dogs out for a walk and so that I could take some pictures. I’ve never seen anything quite as gorgeous as these white trees …
