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...

Long Day of Remodeling
It was a gorgeous August day in Ohio but Tuesday was more of the same on the remodeling scene. With the demolition finished it was time to install cabinets and make sure everything was functioning well. Riley's job was to ride along while her Mommy and Nana ran...
Miss Riley
Riley & Rhonda were up bright and early and were downstairs watching Dora the Explorer when Nana, Grandpop, and Aunt CJ awakened. It took Riley only a little while to get curious about her visitors and begin socializing with us. By late morning her Daddy and her...
Selling on the Fly
It's happening! Frances, our realtor, came by last night with two offers! We sat at the dining room table and compared and contrasted the two offers and finally decided which one to choose for a counter offer. Then today was a flurry of phone calls between Frances and...
Pins & Needles
Life is crazy right now. It seems that everywhere we turn that we are being inspected, dissected, rejected. A couple of potential buyers are acting interested and keep coming back. One of them had her father drive by and he thought that she should run, not walk, away...
Remembering our Roots
Sometimes you just have to clean out the closets and get rid of some things. It's time to weed out all the shoe care products that we've collected in a Roots shoe box. At one time the two of us and Gary all wore Roots, a negative heel shoe that was extremely...
A Nice Place to Visit
Today was a gentle day. The house is in order and we had the opportunity to sleep until we wanted to get up! We started the day with a leisurely swim in the pool and decided that this house has been a wonderful place to visit for the last fifteen years! We continued...
It’s on the Market!
After two months of intensive preparation with the assistance of our friend and handyman, Kirk, and under the guidance of our new realtor, Frances, we have put the house on the market today. Our hopes are high that this time we have the house properly staged and...
Last Sunday Before Renovation
Today was the last day that Mass will be celebrated in St Paul Church for a while. Tomorrow the renovation process will begin. We'll be celebrating Mass in the gym of the school - the first building to house the celebration of the Mass when the parish was young -...

Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours!

LATEST
Colorado Ski Towns
Today's route took us north and west along US-24, CO-9, and I-70 through some gorgeous Colorado mountains and towns such as Fairplay, Alma, Blue River, Breckenridge, and Vail and then along the Colorado River. It's July so the slopes were green but the streets in town...
Members of the T@B Tribe
Not ready to leave Cripple Creek, we lingered over the Sunday morning Pancake Breakfast. On our way back to our T@B we saw Diana outside her T@B. We're always ready to hang out with fellow T@Bbers, so we stopped by for another visit with her. Diana introduced us to...
S’Mores
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...
