Summer Time and the Livin is Easy

I love summer. You get to hang out with friends and family, go to BBQs, go swimming (which we have yet to do), go to concerts, camp, etc etc. We have a lot of great friends and family that we are going to miss when we go to PR, but I am sure they (you!) will either visit us, or we will visit them (you). Maybe they will even move there too! Plus, we will make lots of friends there as well.

This weekend we hung out with our friends Matt and Jamie and we went to a BBQ at Clyde’s house and hung out with Jody, Brian, (and Logan) and Jodi and Greg. It was pretty fun.

Pikes Peak Hill Climb (Colorado Event)

My friends and I have been going to this hill climb for a number of years. Here is a video from near the summit (Devils Playground). They just recently paved it as it used to be dirt all the way to the top. The race dates back to 1915 and is pretty spectacular to see. At the top there aren’t any trees, the air is too thin so it presents a challenge for cars that run on gas. There have been a few electric cars in the event too.

you may need quicktime to watch this, if you have quicktime the link should open in a browser window…If not there is always (right click save as).

I went to the race a few years ago and had a good time, I’ve not been back since its been paved.

Wicked Weather

Summer storms are so cool. We had the strangest one the other day. The clouds looked so low you could practically touch them. The skies were grey in the middle of the day and the sun was lost behind a cover of fluffy faded haze. As it tried to creep out all the neighbor could say was, “Wicked!”

Daisy Style for the Ween Concert

On the poll, “Daisy Style” won by a landslide. In case you were wondering what some of the “others” were, we had two blanks, and two write-ins: Yourself, and Red to wear my sexy red shoes. I was actually hoping that Daisy would win because we have so many daisies in our backyard right now that I wanted to do something with them.

When I saw that Daisy was probably going to win, I thought about how I could use them. I thought of a daisy chain necklace or possibly pinning them into my hair. Then I decided I was going to wear a flower garland in my hair. Then, I looked in my hair supply drawer and found a headband that would work perfectly.

In case you ever want to try this out, it was extremely easy. I did it on my lunch break yesterday.
1) Gather the daisies, leave about 2 inches of stem. Depending on the look, pick flower sizes accordingly.
2) Lay the daisies out in the order you want them placed.
3) Insert into the headband starting with the middle and working outword.

4) Add water and refrigerate until use.

5) Add a flowery dress, some accessories and Voila! Daisy girl!


Also added some daisy earrings

The concert was pretty fun. I didn’t know very many songs compared to Britton and it was super hot in there. It was basically an old hangar that was converted into a theatre and it felt like there was no air conditioning at all. We were sweating, and my poor daisies only lasted about an hour in there before wilting. When we first got there some girl came up and hugged me when she saw the daisies. (Yes, There were a lot of hippies!) We went out to Buca Di Beppo for dinner and that was pretty fun too. Overall, a great kickoff for my birthday. Thanks everyone for voting!! 🙂
