Baking, a la high altitude!

So, it turns out that baking at a high altitude such as we have here in Broomfield is a bit tricky. I made rolls for Thanksgiving not once, but twice and neither batch worked. AGH!

Today I did a bit of research on baking yeast recipes at a high altitude and picked up a few tips to try, so here we go again:)

Hopefully the things I am doing this time will work. If not, it will be back to the drawing board. If it does work, photo's will be added soon:)

My Honey!

We went into Boulder on Sunday afternoon, thinking we would have a nice afternoon walk with Georgie. Turns out that you can't take dogs on Pearl Street.....bummer. Oh well, a storm rolled in and we had to head for home anyway. Got this shot of Gary in the hallway of our complex. He is so cute:)

Here is what we had for dinner.

Here is the "Spicy Chicken and Shrimp" that I had and the "Sesame Chicken" that Gary had.

China Spice!

Gary and I had dinner at "China Spice" this evening. It was so yummy! We started with
Mai tai's which were almost too pretty to drink!

Day one on the road!

Hello All,

Today was our first day on the road, heading to Colorado. We left Westerville just before 7am
and including 3 stops for food, gas & potty we arrived in Kansas City at a pet friendly Holiday Inn about 5:30pm.

Georgie has been so good, except for when we stop and one of us gets out of the car:) Then he cries until we come back. Makes for some really quick potty breaks!

We are going to order room service tonight I think. We're both tired, and would like to get a reasonably early start tomorrow so that we can miss the Kansas City rush hour traffic.

TTFN

Moving!

So, today I turned in my letter of resignation. My last day at work will be September 24, 2010. I am excited about the move, sad about leaving my children and my family. Hopeful that both will come and visit us as it is a great vacation destination:)
