A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Gig Night! Finally, finally, FINALLY–SofaKillers got to have a gig. It’s been almost 4 months since they last got to play. It was an AMAZING weekend–two nights playing at Boot Barn Hall to a packed house. Our bars and restaurants are finally able…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A nice change. Just 3 days ago, we got a dumping of 4″ of snow, but today was glorious. Sixty degrees and sunny–it couldn’t have been any better. I sometimes feel like our winters drag on and on, but it’s days like today…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Snow Day/E-Learning Day=A Necessary “Field Trip”.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Frigid Valentines Day. We enjoyed staying in our cozy warm home for Valentine’s Day this year.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A beautiful wedding. Super Rockstar works with some wonderful people.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A Beautiful Day and a Visit to the Park.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The North Pole. One of our favorite Christmas time traditions is to visit the North Pole. Back in the 1950’s, our city built a children’s Christmas wonderland. There are fun rides, food, and yes–the Big Guy–Santa. This is our 5th year going–and even with a…
