Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The view through the picture window today has a touch of snow added to it. The white stuff decided to visit yesterday to remind us that it really is winter in the Fort. I imagine it will be gone soon. The same cannot be said of Vail at the moment. What did we do this first week of 2025? Holiday traditions over the past couple of years have changed and instead of hosting Eve we have now been celebrating the season with a holiday dinner out. This year's was very relaxed and comfortable. With the girls both being away at college this fall, they still wanted some of the foods I used to prepare, so...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I'm sitting by my big picture window with a pastel winter sky outside. One of the last few Sundays I'll have this view. Thing is, that makes me happy. Just as 2024 is closing so is this chapter of life. What have we been up to the last two weeks? The East Coasters survived their finals and the trip back. Both of them did amazing jobs with so many things this semester. Amanda has professionally dealt with less than productive team members and maintained her composure. Serra has dealt with roommate changes, social differences and being on her own with grace. And each of them kept outstanding grades. Thankfully there were no problems with travel...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun and I are both slow to wake up today, unless you count the fact that I woke at 330 am and rolled over to go back to sleep. Rare for me to do! The pale winter sky has brightened with the promise of spring and a sunny day. Again, a rarity considering we are halfway through December! What did we do this week? It was a quiet and lazy one for the girls as finals at both colleges started. They have been sleeping late and studying or tutoring friends as needed. Amanda spent some time prototyping in the lab and has presentations to attend and give next week. Serra got to experience one...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Pastel winter sun is rising in the sky and yes, I did miss last Sunday. This time last week I was headed over the hill to spend some time with Daddy in Grand Junction. Thankfully I did not run into any snow on the trip over or back and had smooth sailing. Glenwood Canyon is always one of my favorite sights to see. What happened over the last two weeks? Amanda and Serra enacted a plan to spend Thanksgiving together. They ate Ghost Burgers, Green Chile, and Lumpia Nachos, and had some good down time and sister time. I was glad the weather cooperated, and they didn't get caught in the lake effect snow that hit...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The skies are a wintery pastel outside the window today which doesn't quite meet up with the temperature. Yes, it is cooler but not as cold as it has been before at this time of year. I think people are ready for the cold as I saw several out yesterday in puffy coats and I was only in long sleeves. 55* is not cold yet people! What did we do this past week? Amanda is still doing her best to keep the team on track with their project. It's interesting when this current professor is contradicting everything she learned about the process at RPI. This professor also ranks the teams according to his favorites which...
