Today was going to be my kitchen cabinet/counter/lighting/flooring, etc shopping day except it has turned into a snowy, icy road day.  Yes, I am starting to undertake the huge,  gigantic project of Kitchen Remodeling!

The question of the day is, [...]

My family and I just got back from a short trip to Snow Mountain Ranch, near Winter Park, Colorado. The snowy Sleigh Ride with amazing horses highlighted our get-away.  We celebrated Laura and Brandon’s first anniversary.   On New Year’s Eve, I had to say good bye to Laura and son-in-law Brandon as they had [...]
