Family

Fishing, not the kind where you dress in four layers of clothing, dig a hole in the ice and freeze for hours without catching dinner kind of fishing. But good ole warm weather, read a book, pack a picnic lunch spend time with the family kind of fishing. Where is the best fishing in Northern Colorado?

I'll have to admit that there a lot of parents out there getting pretty creative with baby names these days, do you know the top ten baby names of 2013?

Every year since I can remember we have trimmed the tree on Thanksgiving and I've wrapped presents up to just before they were opened. This year we waited a couple of weeks longer, but unlike last year, we DID put up a tree. And thanks to my long time friend, who is more like a sister, I suddenly am obsessed with matching my wrapping paper with my tree scheme. Oh bother!

I came across this today and had to share it. There is nothing not cool about this Grandma from what I can tell. This video was shot when she just showed up one day at a drum store and started playing.
