Shhhhh . . .

Peace. Tranquility. The public library!

Oh yeah! I am blessed to have two girls that love them some books!

I once questioned the girls about the number of books they wanted to check out (12 each)!
Madison just smiled and said, "Mom, we read like a hummingbird flies."

OK then.

Few places in the realm of kid-dom are as pleasant to the parent as the public library.
What a retreat!
What a respite!
Quiet is actually a rule!!!

As I sit here in a ridiculously comfy overstuffed chair, looking out a wall of windows at the snow covered Peak of Pike, I finally feel free to exhale and take stock of last week's events.

My last post was anything but thankful, and for that I apologize. But sometimes a girl just has to vent!

You'll be happy to know (or maybe you don't give a rip) that everything worked out!
My hubby, whom I feared would not be home until Wednesday, actually made it Monday!
I sent him a msg asking him to text when he could. A minute later, he sent a picture of our house!
He was promptly mugged in the drive way.

The new bed arrived. No one was forced to sleep on the floor, except the dog. And if you read the last post, you know that was more than justified.

We had a great time with mom and dad!

Everyone spent a little time getting reacquainted!

We took them to The Garden of The Gods

Rode the cog train to the top of Pikes Peak

It was a breezy 6* wind chill up there -

But the view from the train was worth it!

We also took a drive through Cheyenne Canyon

Love the falls!

And here's my favorite vacation pic . . .

Gotta love it!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Let the holiday season begin!!!
