aspens

my favorite tree is the aspen.
we grew up with them surrounding us and i love everything about them... leaves, color, sound they make in the wind and their trunks... when we were in aspen it was interesting to see the graphics carved into the trees... it does not seem to hurt them... just make them more special...

have a wonderful weekend... xx

NEVER a dull moment...

10 foot section of a HUGE sectional came 3 days early without warning. check.

scramble on a saturday at 11:00 am to find a local mover off load sectional from 75 foot semi. check.

too heavy for movers to manage so had to postpone for 2 days to get more movers. check.

movers show up monday morning - 2 men - and it doesn't happen. check.

scramble to find other moving companies who can make this happen. check.

my FAVORITE movers (who were slammed and could not help) happened to swing by red ticking
and found the door open. check.

happen to be on a big house move and have 5 guys with them on their lunch hour. check.

come to my rescue and get the monster into my client's house. check.







all is good. now i am home resting on my sofa... check.

ever had a day like this?



all images... red ticking. whew.
