Team Meetup 2023 – Barbados
I’ve never been to the Caribbean. Many rave about it. I’ve seen beautiful pictures and have heard fun stories about life on the beach from the time my husband lived on St. John for a year in the times before I was in his picture. But I’ve never been. “You’ve got to go snorkeling. You…

Chris’ New Studio
“So what’s next?” Aunt Anne asked Chris while the two were chatting on the back porch in late July. When he responded that he wanted to get serious about finding a Makers’ Space so he could really focus on his art, I don’t think either of us realized how quickly the perfect place would fall…

Somebody’s Watching You
How do you feel about people watching your attempt at a sport? This was a topic of lift conversation a couple times in the last month. One friend expressed that she liked to ride at night where people weren’t likely to see her. Another friend stated he didn’t like the slopes under the lifts (even…

31 Years – Celebrating Marriage
The faces are fuller, the hair has gone darker (and is starting to grey) or has just disappeared. We’ve gone from beaches to beloved mountains with many adventures in between. Not always easy, but the love is very much there. Here’s to at least another 31 years of marriage with you, my love. Attribution for…
