Only in Las Vegas...

Tulips from Taylor

My nephew recently visited
and this is what he brought me :-)
He even said I was his favorite aunt...
Yes, I can be bribed with a smile and flowers!

Happy 18th!!

Our beautiful baby girl

turns 18 today!

Happy, Happy Birthday Bee!!

Cookie Monster

Just HAD to stop by Eileeen's yesterday 

and simply could not pass on this

monstrous little(?) treat...  

If you look close, there are two cookies

hidden under all that frosting :-)

Eileen's Colossal Cookies

has been in our area since 1998

and makes cookies for all occasions.

As my daughter tends to prefer them over cakes,

we have been fairly regular customers...

Next up:  Birthday and Graduation! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck and happiness
For today and every day! 

Nesting Time

Looks like it's nesting time again here in FoCo
and the preferred sites tend to be just outside
the entrances of busy locations -
like Albertson's and Kohl's.
This mommy is settling down at the credit union.

The expectant parents tend to be a tad uptight
- go figure -
so one must practice caution
and keep a sense of humor while running errands.
Good luck to both sides :-)

A Couple Days Late

Unsure as to whether I was just not paying attention

or if Saturday's supposed blizzard is

just running a couple of days behind schedule...

I attended a banquet last night from 5:30 - 9.

No sign of a significant weather change when I arrived;

three inches of snow on my car when I left...

What the "Blizzard" Left

Despite the dire storm warning,

Fort Collins ended up with less than

an inch of snow yesterday.

However, the ice crystals left behind

look like diamonds scattered across my porch!

Good Morning!

The half-moon was still high in the sky yesterday morning as I made my way to the gym.  It was so clear, that it inspired me to pull over to snap this pic.

Colorado Weather

Yesterday:  60+

Today:  Snow

We ended up with just over an inch
during the next hour.
It was over as fast as it started.

Trains

I don't mind waiting while the trains cross

and, sometimes, I still count the cars.

Fort Fun Trivia:

Their are two rail lines which run through town.

The trains on the east line run faster and are usually shorter.
