2017: Woke with the alarm to start Ashley's birthday breakfast - biscuits andchipped beef and gravy, with a cappuccino. Then Ashley headed off to workand I started chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake. Got it finished justin time to head into town for an interview at UniStaff - it's a jobplacement agency, not a labor office, so that's nice - wish I'd have headedthere sooner. Then a quick stop at the grocery store for some wine andflowers and back home to prep supper, steak and veggies. Steak took a bitlonger than expected but tasted delicious! Steak, asparagus, sweet potatocubes, and pesto-filled mushroom caps. Cheesecake was delicious but superrich!
2018: Ashley's birthday! 30, today! I woke first and put out her birthday card onthe table and made her coffee, which we enjoyed on the porch. We hadbanacakes for breakfast then packed up and headed up to Engineer for ahike. Made it up to the end of the trail and realized there isn't really atrail to the top. Scrambled up to the nest and a bit beyond but I didn'tlike the clouds coming in - didn't think we had time for the summit,safely. Back into town, to Amaya to test out the sauna and soaking pools.Fabulous! Then to The Yellow Carrot for supper and dessert, delicious! Homeand watched Avengers, Infinity War before bed.
2019: Wok a touch late and headed to Brenda's for breakfast. Pretty tasty andtold Ashley that Howard was back in town and I didn't have to go into work.Grabbed a few items from the grocery store and then back home for a bit. Iput together cheesecake, DJ stopped by with a quote and we saved our spotfor next year's painting, then Ashley started making some soap. We headedinto town for supper at James Ranch's new building - really tasty, as weremembered. Church, home for cheesecake, watched a movie before heading tobed. Popped out on the porch and saw the stars.
2020: Ashley's birthday! I made blueberry pancakes and sausage for breakfast andbaked brownies for the day as well. It was awfully smokey so we went for awalk to the lake and cut it short to head home since it was just hazyeverywhere. Basically spent the day hanging out at home. I painted aroundthe cabinet door hole and it looks a lot better since it's all one color.We drove in to the hardware store and I picked up some parts to get thecabinet door finished (basically got all the wrong things, though, so willhave to exchange them and start over). Watched some episodes of Psych andhung out. Spaghetti for supper with Oregano from the garden in the sauce.
2021: Ashley's birthday today! I had her present (fuzzy socks and chocolates) andcard waiting on the table when she came down for the day. I made browniesas a treat for the day. We all went to the treehouse after our pancakebreakfast, then back to the house for Lily's nap. I rested too and thensplit a bit of firewood. After Lily woke we headed in to Durango for timeat the pool in the Rec Center. Lots of fun - we tried out the currentriver, I went down the big slide, and we generally splashed around. Thenover to Zia's for supper before heading home. After Lily went to bed wewatched Cruella.
2022: Ashley's birthday! I took the day off from work. Ashley went to yoga whileLily and I went to the treehouse and then tumbling tots. Home to bakecupcakes and lunch.
