Moose Chase

One of the fun things we did while out west was to snowmobile for 12 miles to the base of a mountain...the most captured peak pictured on calendars.

We encountered this cutie on the way up the mountain. I think more folks are killed by moose than bear. He is just returning from chasing a man from N.Y. on his snow mobile.

At the top, but you can't see the peaks in the background or the pond covered by snow. On the way down, we encountered the moose again, and he chased right towrds us again. I told the guide that I thought the moose was "planted" to get our money's worth!

The Crazy 60s?...

I was born in 1965... I bought season one of "Mad Men" and I am hooked. Okay, there is way too much smoking and drinking, but I love January Jones' character. She was just featured in Town and Country. I think it's the clothes I love the most. One scene, Betty Draper had on an embroidered top with seahorses that buttoned down the back, gorgeous and she was headed to the beach! (in her yellow preppy station wagon) This series reminds me of Bewitched. Darren even commuted to Manhattan from Conn. for his advertising job. Anyone else enjoy this series?

Dashing Through the Snow...

I hardly had time to blog before vacation, so it is so nice to sit down with hubby's laptop, sip coffee and peruse some of my favorite blogs. Hope everyone had a joyful, peaceful Christmas...one full of love and hope.
We are enjoying all of the fresh powder.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Preppy Christmas!...

Beavercreek Co. For Christmas! Merry Christmas to all!

Get Your Merry On 2....

Happy Thanksgiving!

Brrr...It Is Cold!

Is it January already? The good thing is I have been inside and able to finally put together this diaper bag for a friend with whom I work...It is for her daughter who just had a baby girl. The bright fabric is laminated so I put it inside and the bottom. The pocket inside is made for a bottle.

Wow...November already!

I totally missed the month of October posting. Busy with football season...But, it is over:( My son punted and played D Back but I know we have two more years and I am hopeful for two great years ahead...but...they...were tired...and ready for a break. This is a pic from August and the first day of school...

A Little Project

I have been busy with this project for about two months or so... I wanted an outdoor fireplace and decided to add a screened porch which seemed more useful than a patio with one. A patio and pool are on the backburner...but, times are tough, and not sure about spending $$$$ right now. We had my son's sixteenth "Sweet" party already before the porch was finished. We call it the "Sanctuary"...many naps already out there!

Homecoming Fun

Fun week for everyone but my son had to stay focused for football. They won and are 5-0! It was a beautiful day here friday for a parade. My youngest threw candy for my oldest son's girlfriend...shown here. She was this year's Junior Class Representative. More pics later of the parade...

 

I Have A Driver...Yikes!!!

Yes, I have a sixteen year old and so far, so good....It comes when I know I can't be three places at one time so I tell him, "grab Bojangles, and meet us at little one's football field. The convenience seems to outway my nervousness! This is not a younger sibling, but a special buddy whom he bought and shared an icee with this summer.
