Rawah Wilderness - A Challenge

The basics stay the same but the colors change. And you never know what to expect. I love the Rocky Mountains.

We took a two-day, 20-mile hike through the Rawah Wilderness for Steve's 25th Birthday this past weekend. It was moderately difficult, and if it wasn't for him, I may not have had the courage to press on. Press on. He challenged me. We made it over Grassy Pass (11,250 feet!) and onward to camp at Lower Sandbar Lake.

Blue skies. Not a soul in sight. Quiet moments. Reflection. Hope.

Happy Birthday, honey - I love you!

Lemon Slush

Recipe courtesy Heidi @ 101 Cookbooks. Anise seeds were added. I'm a fan; Steve, not so much. Anise is "licorice-esque" for those of you who haven't used it yet. Enjoy.

Laundry Day

Another beautiful Summer day means fresh laundry and, for whatever reason, these colors deserved a photo.

Thursday Night Lights: Summer is Beautiful

Thursday nights for our neighbor, Michelle, means outdoor movie night. What better way to spend a warm summer evening than in a pile of pillows, a cozy blanket, White Caucasians (it's a drink taken from the movie) and new friends. It's a weekly event - next weeks' movie? Robin Hood: Men in Tights. :) You should join us. . .
