Plans for Roatan
We had dinner with Jerry and Debbie of Czech-n-Mate Tuesday night at Tortugal Marina. They have been to Roatan several times and making plans to leave soon for another trip. Before the night was done, we were tossing around plans to tag along. So the past two days, we have been methodically attacking the to-do […]
Rio Dulce Return
It has been a long wi-fi-free week. Sorry it has taken me so long to update. We arrived at the airport at 4 am for our 6 o’clock flight out of Oklahoma City. They got us all on board but held up the plane on the tarmac due to Houston fog. We finally got off […]
Securing The Fort
It has been cold around here but we braved the elements today to bike down to the fort construction site. We have been foraging for building materials. We take basic construction tools. Hatchet, hammer, nails. Then we beat on stuff until we warm up. A few minutes usually does it. Then we […]
Playing in the Pasture With the Payne’s
Toni and Danny called Saturday night to see if we had Sunday plans. Nope. Ok, you do now, they said. Woo-Hoo, let’s hear it for spontaneous family fun days. We played outside all afternoon despite the grey skies. We rode the razor, of course. But we also did some nature exploring to show Toni some […]
Lily Skiing at Sipapu
Randall took a few quick pics of Lily skiing. We can’t wait to go back. We all want to try snowboarding but can’t give up the precious little time we have on the slopes to a new hobby. Someday, for sure. As you can see, she prefers the snowplow form. She can actually snowplow pretty […]
Thanksgiving at the Snowmansion
We finally got the OK from Jake to visit him at the Snowmansion! Yeah, he totally caved in when we said we might just book rooms under alias names and show up in disguise. We headed west Wednesday and arrived at Arroyo Seco at dusk. We walked through the door of the Abominable Snowmansion and […]
Fashion Model By Lily Fuchs
My fashion model Minnie Fuchs is modeling bathrobes today on the Tipton farm, in the Tipton barn. As the coyotes howl outside, Minnie is modeling bathrobes in the barn.
Family Time
Family time ruled this weekend. Toni hosted the Youngblood Family reunion and we had tons of good food all day. Lily and Hope got to get reacquainted and played happily outside all day long, pretty much having their own little backyard party. I cut away from the fun for a few hours to meet Ryder […]
Country Parkour
When Lily gets home from the school, Minnie is right there on the driveway waiting. She knows when the fun starts around here. The evenings are getting slightly nippy so we get our hats and jackets on to run outside and play while there is light. The Alexander’s Razor is currently parked at the Tipton’s […]
Halloween Happy
Halloween always makes me feel like a unimaginative moron and a candy miser. I always vow to do better next year. Then next year rolls around and and I’m like “Ok, we have a witch, a mermaid and a gypsy all still wearable from previous years’ Oct 30 costume grab at Wal-Mart.” Lily never seems […]
