A Colorado Christmas Celebration

My family celebrates the Christmas holiday and we are now just one week away. It is time to finish up any last minute preparations and get ready to make merry. I am taking some time off to relax and enjoy my family. My 81 year old mom is visiting and we love to gab and catch up. Ric will be baking frosted sugar cookies that rival Martha Stewart's and Tara will be joining in on all of the above! So I'll wish you a joyous holiday with your loved ones and see you after Christmas! Peace, Julie

A collection of plush white Christmas bears adds a bit of whimsy.

Oh Tannenbaum!

Fort Collins, Colorado twinkles with its own parade of lights in the distance.

That's me hiding behind the tree.
See you soon!

Sunday Morning Gallery

Starting today I am going to feature a series of photos with a common theme every Sunday Morning. I'll start off with three very different photos but all examples of architecture. This one is for you Dad.

Home on the Range

The day was cold but bright so we decided to go for a walk. As we headed down the snow packed, narrow and steep road we rounded the corner to see the renegades. That is the cows that had escaped the fall roundup. There were only a few of the ladies left. They will not elude the cowboys for long though. To leave them would mean their demise. So the cowboys came back, the cows were rounded up, and the last of the renegades were shuttled off to their winter barn.
