I have to admit, we (my sister and I along with our husbands) skipped out of work a little early to catch the Rockies play the Nationals last night. The evening started out at a restraunt in downtown Denver called Breckenridge – where we ate a lot of food – chips and salsa to start and then came the …

What to make this weekend- your family will love you
Yummy, yummy, yummy. Is there anything better than fresh peaches in the summertime? The peak season for peaches in Colorado isn't until August, but we couldn't wait. This could possibly be the easiest pie recipe ever, especially if you use a refrigerated crust. My sister, Susan, would never use a refrigerated crust. It is one of two things she refuses …
Make Life…….Funny!
Yesterday, my daughter started on her 4-H sewing project. This is her first year and she has decided that she wanted to take sewing as one of her (many, maybe too many) projects. For the first year they can make a skirt with an elastic waist band – infamously known around our house as the pert skirt. This made both me and my …
