Is it fair to say every little girl wants to be a princess? Well, at least I want to be a princess, or the Cinderella that marries the fine prince. It’s the dream that sucks me into watching every princess movie ever made, no matter how cheesy!
That same thing has always made me want a [...]

The First Mate is a Monkey

Monkey Do has his pirate face on. ARRGG!!!
We are slightly obsessed with pirates at our house…I think it began when Monkey Do started crawling and getting into Monkey See’s toys. Monkey See started packaging them up in plastic bags and hiding them in the nether regions of his room. Kind of like buried treasure. Of [...]
The hills are alive

As if to help ease the pain of returning to dry, dry Colorado, the meadows have erupted in wildflowers!
I just love the rough and tumble flowers. The hills (such as they are) are alive! Not just brown prairie grass anymore. Love it!
Which brings me to an ongoing debate with Joseph. We both agree that every [...]
No more catchy titles

Posting everyday is hard (best read with a valley girl accent ) Also, we are back now, but I’m only half-way through my days of pictures. I think my brain is somewhere on a country road in Nebraska. I’m sure it will catch up eventually.
Here’s more pics of Minnesota, fishing, and Joseph’s delightful [...]

First day in Minnesota we spent with Grandma Jones and then we went rented bikes and road to some lakes to fish. Joseph hadn’t ever been fishing without someone else to take the fish off the hook. So when we accidentally caught a fish, he had to man-up and grab the slimly thing.

Welcome to Aitkin, MN — home to Joseph’s childhood memories. Grandma and Grandpa Jones had a beautiful farm for years and years up here. Joseph would come up during the summer to spend time with his grandparents. Grandma Jones is now 92 and paying her a visit has been high on our priority list for [...]
And of course…

…after a delightful, but short stay in our future retirement community, we went up the road a little bit further and saw this charming little sculpture.
Actually, I really like what they’ve done with the place. A few granite columns and the hall of state flags have transformed Mt. Rushmore from an oversized, scenic overlook, into [...]
Hot Springs, South Dakota

I think I just found our new retirement spot. I say “new” because every time we visit a quaint little town, I decide that’s where we are going to retire. Hot Springs, SD just replaced Manitou Springs, CO — but at least I’m sticking with a common theme.
I’ve also always thought it is weird to [...]
