Snow Cats

This morning we were hit by a surprise snow shower that covered our porch with a thin layer of white magic dust! ...or at least that's what the cats thought. Tofu & Arthur were absolutely enthralled by the strange falling flakes and slippery surface and did NOT want to go back indoors again!

Easter Egg Hunt


Sunday afternoon we went over to one of our friends' house for the good old fashioned pagan tradition of decorating eggs and then hiding them for others to find (guys vs. gals of course). I'm not really sure what else to say about the whole event except that the weather was chilly, the food delicious, and the girls won the easter egg hunt.

Easter Sabbath


Sabbath was very relaxed and laid back day. Church was canceled for the SonRise Easter pageant in C'dale, so we enjoyed a quiet morning at home with the cats instead. After a late lunch we spent some time out on the deck in the sun with the cats. They seemed to really enjoy being outside the confines of the house, sniffing strange smells and chasing bugs.


Later in the afternoon Todd came over and carpooled with us downtown to Coolidge Park where we met up with Gil & Jen and explored the new addition to the park until it got dark (and cold). We then decided to eat supper at the Mudpie Cafe, followed up by ice cream at Clumpies.

Yep. It Has Finally Sprung.

Today marks the official first day of Spring! Woohoo!



Last week we got a new terra cotta fire pit for our back deck and invited Todd over one warm & sunny evening for it's maiden burnage. We enjoyed roasted hot dogs with all the regular hot dog fixin's. However we had to substitute slices of bread for hot dog buns due to the spontaneous nature of the whole event.... :)

Birthday Num-nums!


Tonight we went downtown to Thai Smile to celebrate Jane11's birthday and had the Yellow Curry & the Rama Tofu with heart shaped mounds of white rice (oh, and Thai spring rolls too). Everything was very delicious, as it always is -- we've never once been disappointed.

If you've never tried Thai Smile it is well worth the visit (equally as tasty as our other favorite Thai restaurant).

On our way home we swung by and took pictures of a mis-spelled detour "sing" that a friend of ours had informed us about...

Sunny Sabbath Day

Today was absolutely gorgeous! It was sunny and warm, so after church & lunch we lazed around in the sun out on the deck with Todd and the kitties.

Then we took the bikes out and explored our area,
riding a total of 6+ miles.
