Spent a lot of today working with Lou and her new MacBook. We remember the stress of making the conversion from the Windows XP to Mac OS X. It's frustrating when you know how to do it on the old computer and can't figure out how to do it on the new one. Later in the...
Ryan and his friend Cameron met us at Albuquerque Sunport and whisked us away to the Flying Star, a fun cafe where at least one of us indulged in a Green Chile Cheeseburger - Yes! We are in New Mexico! Jana...
For many years now we have had an Easter Vigil tradition with our friend Kay. We attend the Easter Vigil Mass that begins with the lighting of candles to illuminate the darkened church and includes Baptisms and Confirmations to welcome new Christians into the Church....
We try to get together with Pam & John for dinner at least every four weeks. This time instead of it being an adults only treat, we picnicked with them and the girls. It was starting to rain as Karen walked from work to meet them at the picnic shelter at Demen's...
We videoconferenced with CJ and with Dave this evening. It's fun to hang out with our kids even if they are not in town. The special treat tonight was seeing Riley. She does not get the concept. It looks like Nana & Grandpop are on TV. She'll talk to her Dad about...
Ohio State 75 - University of Florida 84 It was yet another instance of the Florida Gators coming up on top of the Powerhouse Ohio State Buckeyes! This is the Gators 2nd National Basketball Championship in a row. This is following the Gators Football defeat of the...
Today was Day 3 and the most fun of the race weekend. Our little party of a dozen people suddenly mushroomed into nearly forty people after we invited a few of the folks in the hallway to come see our view! It's been a crazy, noisy, and totally fun experience.
Steve's Mother, Alma, was born a hundred years ago today in her grandparent's home in the Mt Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati. Hosting a race party might not have been her idea of a One Hundredth Birthday Party. But we had a fun time hosting friends and watching the...
We have been prepared for incredible noise and in fact when we go out on to the balcony, we definitely need ear protection. And it's impossible to take a nap if a race is underway but it is possible to carry on with one's life inside our apartment right on top of the...
One of the joys of living downtown is the walk to work. Often we will spend some of the early morning on the balcony and enjoy the sunrise. Then when it comes time to head out to All Children's, Karen puts on her walking shoes and takes to the streets of St...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

They're a camping tradition that can be traced back a very long time. The first recipe for S'Mores dates back to a 1927 Girl Scout guidebook and our own personal memories of the gooey treat date back quite a few decades. Cripple Creek KOA stages a S'Mores Campfire...
The Cripple Creek Heritage Center is a great place to immerse yourself in all things Cripple Creek from Native American lifestyle and early European explorations to hard rock gold mining and boom town life to local flora and fauna, current and prehistoric, as well as...
One more night here at this fabulous little spot, Colorado at it's finest, a place that we call home. Who wouldn't want that view out their front door? A few days ago when we extended our stay, Cripple Creek KOA had no reservations available for Saturday night but...
