Baking lessons with Linda
When Dan and I decided to move, the best decision we made wasn’t in choosing Fort Collins, or even Colorado in general. The best decision we made was moving three doors down from Linda and Tony. I like people who have passion and knowledge. I *love* people who want to share that passion and knowledge. […]
Wreath-making 2020
Even though little looks the same this year, not every tradition needs to go be the wayside. This year I was so, so happy to find an opportunity to hand-build my own holiday wreath again, having had such a fun time doing so last December. Not only was this year’s wreath workshop as good as […]
My 37th birthday in pictures
Pandemic be damned: my 37th birthday was a non-stop onslaught of fun. Above: flowers from my dear friend Linda. Below: Snooze‘s OMG French Toast for lunch. (Snooze sent the candle, which worked out nicely because my grandmother insisted that something I ate today was required to have a candle in it.) My brother Ryan and […]
Gardens on Spring Creek
I recognize that it can be challenging to be my friend if you don’t love being photographed. If you’re ever caught in that position, I hope you can understand how the people I spend my time with are more important than the places that I go. (Linda, in particular, is one of my most important […]
30 miles with Daniel
I would not have considered myself a cyclist until about two years ago. Now I cannot live without my bike, which I take on several rides per week with Linda and Tony, and use to run errands whenever I can. The thing I don’t usually do is ride with Dan, who usually prefers solo mountain […]
Greetings from a social distance: volume 4
Hello from a chalk circle drawn on the street in front of our house! Our neighbor Lori hatched a great plot to bring our community together. Everyone perched in their own circles to share a beer, some music, and some slightly shouted conversation during our socially distant block party. It was the first time I’d […]
Greetings from a social distance, volume 2
Welcome to another roundup of ways I’m keeping myself entertained during the pandemic! (Find volume 1 here, should you be so bored.) My Best Dude We’ve always been a great team, but I’ve been delighted with how well Dan and I have weathered this thing together so far. (Below: Dan killing time with his drone. […]
Greetings from a social distance
From time to time someone will mention my blog, and I always tell them the same thing: that my primary audience is my grandmother, Hazel. She loves to hear about Dan and my adventures in Colorado, and she especially loves to see photos, so this blog is mostly a vehicle for sharing stories and pictures […]
2020 rowing marathon
My gym hosted a fundraiser for the Fort Collins Rowing Association, a marathon-length rowing competition that I signed up for immediately. I have been a part of a rowing marathon once before, over a year ago, and have been itching to get back into it — though this time I opted for a team of […]
Garden of Lights 2019
Garden of Lights is back! The Gardens on Spring Creek have spent the past year under renovation, and this winter they have doubled the size of their Garden of Lights walk-through holiday lighting show. (See last year’s photos here.) ^^Tony and Linda! 🙂 The highlight of my visit this year was, of all things, Santa. […]
