Two lane blacktop (and more)
On Tuesday morning, I received a call that the paving company would be here at noon on Wednesday to tear up the old driveway and put down a new one. Oh My Gosh! The old driveway was in bad shape where it was cracked and the bed had fallen down. We had water draining into […]

Chicken Piccata
Thought I would try a Domestic God post like my sister Rose. For Sunday dinner I made the family Chicken Piccata, Lemon Butter Noodles, and Steamed Broccoli. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare chicken breast. It adds a lot of flavor. The saltiness of the capers and bitterness of the lemon juice […]

Sascha can play in the yard again! The roof is done!
Yes, the roof is done! No more banging, dropping things, or saws going off. And it’s pretty! I worked at home for the last days while they were putting a new roof over our heads. The last roof might have been 18 years old. No one is sure. During the last windstorm, we lost a […]

Maybe I really need to explore the world of blogging better. Last Christmas, I had seen these little metal creatures and I wanted one. I put […]

I knew I wasn’t going to keep up with this like Rose does with her Daisy blog. Rose does a nice job with her http://www.curiousdaisy.com/wordpress/ blog. […]

Very Large Array (VLA)
We went to see the Very Large Array. It may look familiar if you saw the movie Contact. Found out that SETI does not use this array. If they ever did find any Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence this would the be used to get a closer look. The array is a big Y shape with each leg […]

Bandelier NP New Mexico
Here are pictures of your hike around Bandelier National Park. This park has a lot of pueblos. The hike to the Alcove was pretty much 140 feet strait up wooden ladders. The view of the valley was nice.

New Mexico Animals
It was fun to run across animals while looking at the sites in New Mexico. Here are some of the animals I saw. I did see an interesting looking snake at the Three Rivers Petroglyphs. It was mostly tan with reddish blotches on him. When into a crack before I could get a picture.

Snowmageddon
When the weather service said go home and stay there for this storm that was good advice. At the start of the storm I tried to shovel snow but it came down too fast. The wind was terrible and was causing me to get cold. We had big drifts by bed time. Our furnace stopped […]
