Sunday Drive

June 8th, 2009

We hopped in Big Daddy’s truck yesterday and went for a Sunday Drive.  First stop was to get filled up on vittles at Subway.  Hannah loves Subway and eating in the restaurant is a big treat for her.. versus eating in the truck.  So being the fabulous parental units that we are we ate in the restaurant!

We headed west of town towards the mountains to see what we could see and to scout for acreages.  It had snowed on Saturday here and as you can see there is plenty of snow still in the Rocky Mountains!

Do all men have a map that whips out at a moments notice or is it just BD???

We stopped at a playground at one of the Foothills towns to check and make sure the swings worked….All in all a great Sunday Drive! (Clearly I didn’t feel that doing one’s hair for a Sunday Drive was warranted)

Spectacular Pastel Portrait

June 3rd, 2009

Have you ever been wowed?  I was last night.  My long time friend Angie, came by to show me the finished portrait she did in pastel of my daughter.  I am sometimes taken aback at the talent she has, as she is very quiet about her art and skill.  Angie wanted to challenge herself with a blonde haired, lily white skinned subject and I had the perfect one!  I am absolutely grateful to have this portrait and it will be a lifelong treasure.  The hard part now will be choosing a frame to do it justice!  The detail is amazing and Angie has managed to capture Hannah’s personality in the eyes and tentative smile… love it!!
