It's About Time for Something New Here!
Since moving to Rice Lake, Wisconsin in April 2012, we haven't done a whole lot of traveling that we've written about. I'm going to try to make sure and write about our travels this month though in May 2013. This month's trip will take us out of the snow we just had on May 2 … Continue reading
Theobroma Chocolatier in Albuquerque
Every time we go to the local grocery store we pass this place called "Theobroma Chocolatier". Being chocolate lovers, we just had to go in one day. Amazing!

We picked up a small, smooth round gourd. We thought perhaps it was an Osage Orange fruit. But it doesn't appear to be from what … Continue reading
Our Pet Dinosaur and other assorted photos
Fiona found her pet dinosaur. Several in fact. You can see in the gallery below photos of Fiona riding a dinosaur and walking another. They vary in size from very tiny (Fiona can hold the head of one in her hand) to HUGE! We decided not to drive the main interstate between Colorado and Albuquerque … Continue reading
