Colorado Girl

You know you are a true Coloradan, when you never leave home without your snow hat and sunglasses.

Winter Olympics

You know you live in a terrible place when it is 30 degrees warmer at the Winter Olympics.

Valentine's Day

Did you know that candy hearts now say things like "text me"? I got something much better for Valentine's day, a clean house and a pot roast.

Christmas in Fruita, CO

This is a reminder that Christmas should be fun. That is the Grinch in the dinosaur's mouth.

Wontons

Last weekend was very cold and we were all sick, so we decided to stay in and make a big pot of wonton soup. It is simple, but folding all the wontons takes some time. It is the perfect thing to do on a cold winter afternoon. The hot gingery soup made us all feel better.

Snow and Ice

We have had almost two weeks of snow and ice on the ground and negative degree weather. Everyone keeps telling us that this has never happened in Grand Junction before. I am tired of scrapping ice every morning and nearly killing myself trying to walk from the car to the office. Today it was 30 degrees, so at least it is warming up. Hopefully this snow will melt before the next round comes. Clementine took the photo of the man in bathtub. This is one of the many statues downtown. James Dalton Trumbo who was from Grand Junction became a writer in Hollywood. His films include Roman Holiday and Spartacus. He was blacklisted for being Communist and served a year in prison. However, he continued to write under other names. He even won an Academy Award for a movie he wrote using an alias.

Happy Birthday Clementine!

Clementine turned 4 on Dec. 5th. We spent the day at the dinosaur museum in Fruita, CO. Clementine liked the spitting dinosaur the best. After the museum, we went hiking on Dinosaur Hill. In the late 1800's an almost complete skeleton of a Brontosaurus was found there.
