621 // November 27, 2009 Happy Thanksgiving! It has been a very relaxing and yet eventful past few days. Hubbie and I have escaped the city as of earlier this week, and have enjoyed some fresh mountain air. Along with a couple of personal friends who joined us, we had a huge turkey feast on […]


Games

30Aug09

586 // August 30, 2009 We had our third annual Beer Olympics this weekend – Ireland (my team) got the gold in Ladie’s Bags, Hockey (cards) and Darts – with various other silver and bronzes…but ultimately lost (two points under) of the Overall Medals to America, Scotland and Germany. Fun times, good people, there is […]


576 // August 17, 2009 I’ve shown you photos that I’ve taken with my Holga, but have I ever shown you what it looks like? It’s a little toy camera made out of plastic, and the kicker/fun part of it is that there are certain to be light leaks, exposing the negative film inside and […]


Huron Peak II

13Jul09

563 // July 13, 2009 The final part of the hike leaves me to share a couple more photos, this time from the summit. (This is Dave signing the register at the top of the mountain) Our drinks of choice – guess who drank what 😉 Looking out onto the horizon. Just a pure sea […]


480 // April 06, 2009 Gaper Day / Thrift Store Ski Party at A-Basin 2009. Don’t know what “Gaper Day” is? See 2008’s “Gaper Day Part I” (most popular post on Cocktail Hour) and “Gaper Day Part II” (third most popular post) for some answers!

298 // August 24, 2008 Hi. I should’ve let you know that I wasn’t going to be posting yesterday. We had the 2nd Annual Beer Olympics on Saturday and it was bigger, better and louder than last year’s. This is a shot after a Beer Pong Tournament with a Germany team member in the background […]

284 // August 08, 2008 Getting some beer homebrewing lessons from Dave — my sister is the helper, I’m the photog 🙂


252 // July 05, 2008 I love hanging out in the mountains in the summertime. This weekend we are spending time with some family up here, and because it was a georgous afternoon, we decided to pack a picnic lunch, ride the chairlift to the top and hang out. Of course, we brought the essentials. […]


232 // June 16, 2008 This past weekend we spent on the Yampa River floating in and out of the canyon with canoes filled with friends, dogs and lotsa beer. The weather was absolutely perfect for the entire 38 miles // three days, two nights we were out. Lots of time to laugh and relax […]


213 // May 26, 2008 I was a slacker yesterday – but within good reason. Beer. That’s a good reason, right?? Well, I hope you understand that I *sort of* skipped out on my posting yesterday. A-Basin has it’s annual beer festival with all the different brews from the county available to taste. Twenty bucks […]


Gone Drinkin’

02May08

191 // May 2, 2008 Hubbie’s birthday festivities have been lit up this weekend already. Some friends from Chicago have flown in already and we took them to Red Rocks, gambling in Blackhawk/Central City, dinner at the Dam Brewery and now are now about to continue the boozing at the condo in the mountains. Took […]


Cubs in Denver

23Apr08

182 // April 23, 2008 Never a disappointment — be it the friends we hang out with or the actual win for the Cubbies, the experience is always great. Every year the Cubbies are in town, festivities light up all over town. In prior years, they have always come in for 3-4 games on a […]


161 // March 29, 2008 Keystone’s “Blues and BBQ Festival” was today — among the live music, great people watching and the aroma of BBQ filling the air, BREWS was not far nor forgotten from the equation. Overpriced food didn’t stop everyone from enjoying the warm sun and the live music on stage. There was […]


Cheers

150 // March 17, 2008 Realizing that most people read this blog the morning after I write it, I say nuts to that and Happy St. Patrick’s Day anyway. We celebrated here with some yummy potato and cheese soup, car bombs and black-and-tans with Dave’s brother and wife. Wait, how does that make me sober […]
