Lionel O Gauge Model Train Exhibit at Hudson Gardens
Tweet My Favorite Section of the Exhibit I love it when I attend an event where going into it I don’t have a real love for the subject matter and leave realizing all the fun I’ve missed over the years. This was the case yesterday when we went up to Littleton, Colorado to the Hudson [...]
Formal Bridesmaids Brunch Is About Sharing
Tweet Barbara’s daughter recently got married and because we share and do for each other out of love and deep friendship, I volunteered to host the Bridesmaids Brunch at my house the day before the wedding. Have any of you heard of a Bridesmaids Brunch? It was new to me a few years ago when [...]
Attract Hummingbirds The Easy Way
Tweet Can’t Tell You How Many Pictures It Took To Catch One With Its Tongue Out My girlfriend Jan wrote on Facebook yesterday that she is seeing her first hummingbirds of the season at her ranch in Texas. Let the migration to Colorado begin! As I noted in a previous blog, April 15th is when [...]
Cuisine at Home Magazine Review
Tweet First of all – there are no advertisements! Most important, Cuisine at Home has great recipes with easy to follow instructions, illustrated with very nicely done pictures.

High Altitude Baking Is Not For Wimps
Tweet High Altitude Cake Gone South What a shock! Moving to Colorado from Arizona played havoc with just about every backing recipe I had! Breads sunk. Cookies were flat. Brownies were somewhere in the middle. Somethings just didn’t rise at all. Back of the cake mix boxes have high altitude baking instructions, but only up [...]
Signs of the Spring Garden
Tweet I almost never see any early green here at 7200′. April is about as early as my spring garden it ever gets. It’s been warm here in Colorado for the last couple of weeks even though we did have a little snow the other day. I let the fall leaves cover the flower beds [...]
Custom Aprons – Made with Love
Tweet Aprons are back in! I never really cared for aprons much, but I did get tired of permanent stains on my shirts that, at the urging of my girlfriends, thought I’d better give it a tray again. My first two were nothing to shout about. A plain blue one and then a cute one [...]
