A Wing and a Prayer: Back in the Saddle
http://lorismar.blogspot.com/2011/03/back-in-saddle.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Back in the Saddle. I'm back in the saddle! Literally, because I've started horseback riding again after almost 30 years. Figuratively, because I'm finally blogging again after 5 months. Here's some photos of what I've been doing all this time. This is me on Annie, a 4-year old quarter horse:. Annie was a rescue horse that had been destined for the slaughter house at just 2 years old. She was saved by the Luv Shack. And trained by Taylermade Equestrian Services.

A Wing and a Prayer: Yum!
http://lorismar.blogspot.com/2010/10/yum.html
Monday, October 4, 2010. I thought I would be safe mentioning my birthday after it was over. But I underestimated my sweet friend and neighbor, Alice. Six hours after she heard about my birthday, she was down with this deliciously decadent chocolate cake:. Alice has been taking a pastry class, so this tasted even better than it looks. I'm fortunate to have such a wonderful neighbor who shares her baking talent, even if it is hard on my willpower. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Two Peas in a Bucket.

A Wing and a Prayer: Christmas Gifts
http://lorismar.blogspot.com/2010/09/christmas-gifts.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. With fall on the way (or here, in some places), I'm starting to think about the holidays - even Christmas. I like to give photo gifts to grandparents, who really don't feel the need for any more "things". Here's a super-fast mini album I did last year. I found a wallet size photo album at Michael's with the right initial and altered it a bit. Then I took scans of layouts that I already had on my hard drive, put them with some quick text inpsired by the Live Good. Or you can r...

Friday, June 10, 2011. And Salt Lake City, the Grand Tetons, Denver, and Breckenridge. I hope to make a few posts chronicling our adventures from the road. In the meantime, here are a couple random projects from the past couple of months. First, a Mother's Day card. I found this sentiment (originally from Tiny Prints) on a the Holiday Snobs blog. I loved the saying so much that I turned it into a house card using stamps and scrapping supplies:. Sticking out). I really wanted to get a Smash Book.

Thursday, April 14, 2011. I have a new internet addiction: Pinterest. It's a virtual "bulletin" or "inspiration board", where you can "pin" all kinds of images that you find on the Web. But besides pinning your own images, you can see what others are pinning. It's the best visual feast on the internet! There are lots of decorating images, like these:. Do It Yourself ideas like these:. And other just plain interesting or silly stuff like this:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

A Wing and a Prayer: Back from Yellowstone
http://lorismar.blogspot.com/2011/06/back-in-civilization.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. We've arrived back in civilization (i.e., Denver) after our camping trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. We had a great time and saw the most amazing things. but we also froze our tails off, with night-time temperatures in the 20s and 30s. The fire ring at our campsite was buried under 3 feet of snow. (No fires for the first few days! To add insult to injury, there was no hot water or heat in the bathrooms. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip:.

It was a total 3,600 ft. elevation gain and 9 mile distance (round trip). This is the saddle between the two peaks:. Here's my brother, BG, and I at the top of Torreys:. I lov...
