Sunday Drive

Published by michael under ABQ, Midlife Crisis, Oscar, Puppy

We got up early this morning to take advantage of last night’s snowstorm, and wouldn’t you know, it was continuing today. We all loved it!

Garden in July

Published by michael under Oscar, Puppy, house, trips

Only a few more weeks to harvest, but we’re already pulling tomatoes, broccoli, and yummy New Mexico chile peppers. Just check out those pumpkin leaves on the far right! Next year, they’ll be going on the tier above the garden where they can really have room to spread and grow.

Lisa is trying hard to figure out where we are going in September, we’ll see how close she gets. :)

Edited to add: New toy for Puppy and Oscar.

Ouray

Published by michael under Midlife Crisis, Oscar, Puppy, Twitter, love, trips

Lisa and I are off to Ouray, Colorado for the next few days to celebrate our 1st anniversary. It’s been exactly one year since we last went. Oh, and the pups are going, too. This will be the first real road trip for Bailout, and we’re going to try and get off-road as much as possible. More than anything, this trip will give us a chance to relax. I don’t know about Lisa, but I really need a break right now, and this trip will be a nice warm-up before the big September extravaganza!

Puppy hates baths, but man, he’ll whine like mad if you don’t point the hose at him.

The Garden

Published by michael under Oscar, Puppy, funny, house, trips

We’re back from Orlando and we had a blast! The conference was good and Lisa really enjoyed her time at the resort, even if she did get a good burn on Tuesday. We enjoyed some great seafood and had an incredible time at Islands of Adventure and tons of success at the outlet malls. We did so much in just 5 days.

Plus, Saturday we planted the garden. Man, was that a lot of work, but so far, everything is looking good. Now, if we can just keep the dogs out of there! We’ve planted a variety of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and herbs.  We should be enjoying our harvest end of July, first of August.

Finally, Darrell, a Cardinals fan, made the mistake of leaving his Jeep at the house today:

White Christmas

Published by michael under ABQ, Puppy, holidays, trips

There was some snow on Christmas, but we had to drive a few miles to touch it. It was another great Christmas this year, everyone had a blast and Santa was quite generous to everyone! Santa surprised me with a vintage orange Atari t-shirt and a quart of Weck’s green chile, plus some other cool stuff like a new New Mexico book to add to our growing collection, and two 12-packs of beer (yum!).

Oh, and Junior seems to be getting used to Oscar. We hope they become best friends.

Junior, a.k.a. Puppy

Published by michael under Puppy

We painted Shelby’s room this weekend and while moving furniture around, ran across this picture of Puppy when he was, well, a puppy, along with his brothers and sisters, from nearly 13 years ago. Puppy is the cute one in the middle. And like me, he’s also Canadian. How cool is that?

Home Again

Published by michael under Puppy, cheer, love

Everybody’s glad cheerleading is finally over, and it’s good to have Lisa back! Congrats to Shelby and Lisa winning the AAAAA State title.

No one is happier, I think, than puppy. He loves sharing his throne with mommy.

I think I’ll have a nap while I wait for mommy to come home…
