And here it is....the few days before Christmas where everyone (including Mike and myself) push the envelope to get those last minute gifts. I know I am. We went to another concert this week: Bela Fleck & the Flecktones and hopefully if I can get the video uploaded (I noticed the last post didn't work, I'll have to fix that) so that you can view the amazing musical talent this group produces; plus its a really cool version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Neat-o.

Like I said, I am trying to get my life organized for the 17 1/2 hr drive to my Old Kentucky Home. I'm really not worried about it, I mean really if I can drive the ENTIRE thing by myself with the dogs while following a huge moving van going 60mph, I can do anything. Plus, Mike will be with us and we'll actually get to 75mph (80 while going through Kansas), if the weather allows. But, as of now (and cross the fingers) everything looks good! And we're leaving at just the right time. The high in CO on Christmas day is only 20 degrees!! We're going to miss Nancy & James as they make their way South to Sanibel and we are heading East to Winchester...boo. But seeing them at Thanksgiving was pretty amazing.

Mike and I have been discussing moving into the Rockies.....relax. It's just a discussion. But who wouldn't want to live in the mountains in a mountain cabin with room to roam? Our little subdivision house is getting quite smooshed. Smooshed? Well, you know what I mean. We're cramped and feel suburbanized. Not exactly the Colorado experience we were looking for, but good golly, we love it here so much. So, just be prepared our year in CO might be extended to include a little more time. Just Sayin'.

I am so incredibly thankful for the amount of family/friends that we'll see during this visit!! From Louisville, Winchester, Sandy Hook, Huntington, and even catch some Henderson on our way home! We'll cover the whole state! YAY! Work is really slow right now (not complaining since I've got so much stuff to do at home) so I'll be done early everyday this week. Mike is still working his little buns off for UPS, that's done on Thursday. Still looking/sending in resumes for camp jobs...we'll keep ya posted!

Love Wins!!!

I have a dream...

To be on the Price is Right!!! Sounds a little absurd I know! But the SNF that I'm working at has it on almost every day, and you know how old people are about their Price is Right. Now, some are a little bitter that Drew Carey took over, but it was time for Bob Barker to go. Anyway. I'm trying to convince Mike to add LA to our list of places to go so I can get my chance to "come on down!!'". Basically what it comes down to is that I want to be on a game show. We all have our dreams, right?

Mike and I went to Vail this past weekend to see a free concert by Robert Randolph & the Family Band and it was AMAZING. It snowed the entire concert (which is a new concert experience in itself) and thanks to my toe warmers and dancing I stayed really quite warm. We can't wait to go up there and ski. Here we are enjoying the show:



Christmas is coming soon and I can hardly wait! I hope that you have been enjoying the Jimmy Buffett Christmas song on my profile. We are so excited to spend time with our family and friends. PLUS a true S & G farm bonfire is taking place and we all know what kind of fun that brings. Oh, I do hope we can keep the fire department away this year. I am not excited, however, about driving 34hrs within a week with 2 big dogs and lots of luggage. Pray for good weather and safe travels. Our Christmas shopping is basically done....and I'm getting Mike the COOLEST pressent this year. Can't pick it up until Christmas Eve but I'll post a picture of it. AH-mazing. Mike got me snow boots, fitting and appropriate don't you think??

Work is going well. Dogs are happy. Life is good. Home is calling. Love you!! Love Wins!

Here is a video of part of the show we saw on Sunday!!

Fuzzy Little Hippie Girl

I found a jewel of a YouTube piece and I've decided to share it. Heard this little ditty on the fine radio station here in the Denver area last night and just couldn't stop laughing/dancing/singing. Make sure you catch the nice group of "fuzzy little hippie girls" that dance on the stage in the middle of the song. I think this is enough for today. Life is good. Love Wins!
