Cath In Color

If there was a day to lounge on your couch all day…today was definitely it!  I would say that I was the queen lounge lizard of our house.  The rain kept coming down in perfect increments just to allow me to never make it the grocery store.  Just when I thought it was letting up, [...]

Today I celebrated “scrapbook day” by starting my new album pages at 9:00 this morning and continuing until 9:00 tonight with my friend Dawn.  Our Creative Memories Consultant rented a large room at a local church and about 40 women enjoyed the day creating beautiful pages for their families.  I accomplished 19 pages and Dawn completed 16 [...]

Our day started out by having our science teacher calling us “earthlings” and reminding us that it’s Earth Day.  I laughed at that.  I like the idea of “going green” and I try do things in my everyday life that can help our planet.   Like, walking to work instead of driving, recycling and even trying [...]

Last night, my sister and I went to Orchestra Hall, down in Minneapolis.  She had gotten us tickets to see Jim Brickman perform with the Orchestra.  It was a beautiful night for dining downtown.  We ate at a Mexican restaurant called, Mesa.  Most of the menu was in Spanish and you had to use the [...]

One day we’re finishing our taxes, the next day, it’s Nate’s birthday!  He turned 45 years old today but surely doesn’t look or act his age(I mean that in the best sort of way).   He took the day off from work and spent his time relaxing in the quiet house and checking out the local [...]

Today I had a couple of those funny moments that I just wanted to share with you.  Oprah calls them your “Ah-ha” Moments.  My first moment was when I received a phone call from Megan’s friend asking if she was home.  I told her that she had gone over to a friends house.  It got [...]

I hope you’re having a great Easter today!  It’s a beautiful day here with temperatures around 56 degrees.  Our day started out at 8:00 a.m. by running down the stairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought.  Then the girls raced around the house looking for candy to add to their baskets.  Later we enjoyed [...]

Today we headed over the Macy’s Flower Show in beautiful downtown Minneapolis.  The theme this year was, “Dream in Color.”    There was seven colorful gardens with gorgeous flowers from Greece, France, South America, Japan, Russia, Italy and Spain.  The colors were very vibrant and the aroma was wonderful. 
Tonight we get ready for the Easter Bunny to arrive.  Kelly [...]

It really was a “good Friday” today.  The girls & I started our day out by getting haircuts and hi-lites.  We call it our new “spring do’s”.   We stopped and had lunch at Sonic and then headed home to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.  Later this afternoon, we took Jazz out for a walk [...]

Tonight after dinner, the four of us went outside and played a game of HORSE out on our new basketball court.  Well, that’s what we call it.  It’s actually our driveway, but it works.  I’m really glad that we bought this basketball hoop.  It’s a great activity that we can all do together and we [...]
