For those of you that live in more “normal” weather states–springtime is probably a nice rain shower here and there with your beautiful gardens (that you got to plant back in March) bursting with life and wonderful color. Here in Colorado…

Coffee Break–Volume 129
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A little too close for comfort. The winds have been ridiculously high in our area lately. Plus, we are experiencing a drought–up until a couple of days ago, I can’t even remember the last time we had more than spit falling to the…
Coffee Break–Volume 128
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Grayson Stuff. My younger son, Grayson, is a typical second born. We have several nicknames for him, but lately “Even Stephen” suits him the best. He wants to do everything his older brother does, in the exact same order and in the exact…
Coffee Break–Volume 127
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Skate City. This place has been a go to for both of my boys late elementary through middle school years. Their school always hosts a special discounted night and there is a contest for the “golden skate”–an award for the teacher with the most…
Coffee Break–Volume 126
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Birthday Boy #2. My second born, Grayson, came into this world two weeks earlier than expected and he has had us on our toes ever since. I can’t believe he’s a teenager now. He lives life with a volume and zest that is…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The Birthday Boy #1. Morgan turned 15 this past week. Give me oxygen–I feel light-headed. How did this happen?

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Cousin Time. I have many cousins–whom I had the privilege of growing up with and enjoying throughout my childhood. I love them all. But, Lori and Jill have always been special–we’re not only relatives, we’re close friends. We stayed close even when life took…
Coffee Break–Volume 123
A list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Dart Wars With My Boys. A couple of weeks ago, Super Rockstar had a gig–so I took the boys to Dart Wars. I’ve talked about this place numerous times and highly recommend it as a place to go have a great time. I have…
Coffee Break–Volume 122
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. The Super Bowl. The Super Bowl wasn’t exactly what I would call “Super” this year for me–with two teams playing that I don’t really have any strong feelings about one way or the other. But, it’s always good to have an excuse to…
Coffee Break–Volume 121
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Meet Scooter. My parents are really great gift givers and they always spoil us with things we would never even consider buying for ourselves. They gifted us an i-Robot vacuum for Christmas and let me tell you–it is pure luxury. During the setup…
