The first Gratitude Sunday post of 2012. Happy New Year everyone!  This week I was especially grateful that my family gave me two full days by myself at the Breckenridge rental to organize for the year.  I worked from the moment I got up until I collapsed into bed, only taking breaks to walk the [...]

National Pet Week

I just learned that May 1-7 is National Pet Week.  This year’s theme?  Adopt a Pet.  We did just that a year and a half ago, and got our beloved Rocky.  He’s put is through many a ringer since then, but tonight as he curled up on the loveseat (all 75 lbs of him) between [...]
