Today started off nicely by the dogs allowing me to sleep in until 8am!!!  Oh my goodness, I have not slept past 6:30am in over 3 years now.  The dogs are on a schedule, I suppose.  Then we got ready and went to a local Farmer’s Market where they had some lovely Colorado products.  We first browsed around to scope out what we wanted to buy, then we went for it!  We ended up leaving with a bundle of fresh radishes (yummy), a pound of pickling cucumbers (to make my great grandpa proud), apricots, Jalapeno hot sauce, soy-based sauce, an avocado for our sammy’s, and some homemade and freshly-poured Root Beer!!!

I think the best part of it all for me, was when the guy poured the root beer from the barrel it was made in, into brown bottles and topped them off with a cork!  How lovely!

Now I’m spending the day updating the blog and shop.  I think I’ll take a stab at pickling tomorrow or Wednesday.  I’ll let you know how that goes   Happy Sunday!

Hey all!  Ron and I just got back from a mini vaca to visit my “pops” on the mountains (so that’s why I didn’t write over the weekend) and we had a great time.  We took Frankie and Tucker too of course, while Brutus had some “cat” time at home.  We cruised around on the Mule on Saturday and took a few mini hikes with the pups, then we took a moonlight ride on the Mule to do a little stargazing.  It was soooo beautiful, because you don’t see the stars that clear here in the ‘burbs,’ ha ha ha.  Here are a few pics of our adventure… enjoy!
My ZZ Pops!

It was a great weekend!  Love, RobbieLee

My husband was telling me that a friend of ours here in Colorado uses Eco-Baby Cloth Diaper Service for all of their diaper needs.  Before him telling me, I had never heard of such a service, but I’m in love with the idea!  Not only are you reducing waste in landfills, but you are guaranteed that your diapers are washed thoroughly and disinfected.  Best of all, you don’t actually have to do anything.  Pretty sweet deal! You can even set up a registry with them.
