more movies

Ok so I meant to rent La Vie en Rose and I rented Ma Vie en Rose. Don't know if you've heard of either. One was at the Oscars. One was not.

I got the one that was not. Adam slept through most of it. He didn't miss anything. It was about a boy who said he was trapped in a girls body and cross dressed/kissed boys much to the embarrassment of his family. It had some fun dancing in it but I would never recommend it. One star. Somehow it has less splats on rottentomatoes.com than La Vie en Rose

I added La Vie en Rose to my queue but somehow the other movie is souring my appetite to see it. It might just linger at the bottom of the list. They have it 'on demand' but still don't have the Mac capabilities set up so I can't watch it that way.

Also we watched Juno. It was better than I thought it would be and we really enjoyed watching it. That's all I have to say about it. Three stars.

living it

The weather has been beautiful here. Sunny and 70s pretty much every day. We spend a lot of our free time sitting outside, messing with the garden, or playing tennis. We are super excited for July 4th. It is a very big event here in town. The hotels have been booked for months and we are very proud to have 'the biggest fireworks show on the western slope'. We missed all July 4th celebrations last year because when we were traveling we ended up in cities who celebrated the SUNDAY BEFORE. Seriously ridiculous. It's maybe a smidge too late this year but next year you should all come out here and visit this week. The weather is great, everything is greened up and we can celebrate my favorite holiday together. Also, we have a rhubarb festival. I just made enough pie crust for 7 pies. I think I have picked enough rhubarb for 4 so I need to go wrestle up some more.

I know you've all be DYING to see our house so here are a few shots.

We love our new house. It has a bedroom waiting for you.
This one is kind of for my mom. She helped us clear out a big chunk of this garden. But really, who doesn't enjoy a garden shot?

Adam digging a hole for aspen #2. That big yellow building in the background is where I work. I look out that window on the second story.

Aspen #2 all settled in.

The preschool was selling flowers for a fundraiser and Adam brought me home some!






















Tonight we're going to go try out the campground project that my company has been working on and that Adam is in charge of. I think it's national camp out night so go out there and tent it up!

Big Nothing

Today I am wearing flip-flops to work. What? Do I work at the beach or something? Sigh. I couldn't find my Crocs this morning. I feel so naked having my toes exposed. Also, sometime last week I painted my toenails. After the first foot I decided I didn't like the color so I stopped. "I 'never' wear open-toed shoes," I said to myself. Oops.

I have a ton to write about but never feel like doing it. We've had two sets of visitors and I haven't posted any pics of the house. We're getting a bucket of topsoil today and will be working on the garden this weekend. We got our plants on Weds. It still freezes at night. We just lost Mr. Tomato. Some things just aren't cool up here. The growing season is one of those things. We're going to blame the death of Mr. Tomato on Silverton so we don't feel as bad for leaving him outside all night.
