Go Big or Go Home

Mikey never does anything in a small way. He heard me mention a couple of years ago that it would be fun to have an electronic music keyboard and I had in mind something basic. Well Mikey has a memory like an elephant and he bought me one for Christmas. It is as big as a full-size grand piano and has the same feel and an amazing sound…and I think it is smarter and more talented than me. Guess I’ll have to try to do my best to live up to it. I LOVE it! Thanks, Mikey! You’re amazing!

Santa and Elf Visits Pagosa on Xmas Eve

On Christmas Eve day, Santa (Mikey) and his Helper Elf (Muriel) visited several businesses and other locations to spread Christmas Cheer. This is the second year we have done this and we had a blast. We will make this a annual event!

Deja Vu

The summer was beautiful but all too short and last year's heavy deep snows are still a recent, vivid memory and now, here we go again!! And, as if this isn't enough, we're expecting another 2 feet in the next couple of days. We may need a snorkel to get out by then!

Mikey, clearing the driveway after the latest storm...

Muriel on snowshoes uncovering one of the young trees we planted this fall... Muriel's snowshoes...a valuable tool for getting around in hip-deep snow...

Chairs on the rear patio overlooking the hole in the snow that is the pond. Picnic anyone?

Snowy tree face...

Dude checking out Mikey's snowblower work...

Front porch...somewhere anyway!

Bedroom windows & reflection of Muriel on showshoes

BBQ anyone?
