2009 - An Overview

Welcome all to this new decade of 2010!
Yup, it 's been quite a while since our first and last post... We-is-going to try it again.

Much has gone on in our past two years, and still new to the Durango Colorado area. Currently we're sitting tight with jobs and school, trying to muster up some creative energy to design our new home site. The many opportunities of ample snow railroad us away from good intend projects.

The brief overview of our 2009:
  • Peter goes on a long ski trip with brother Nick and their long time childhood friend Jon Adams.


  • Tori begins her first semester at FLC at the art department - as student! while simultaneously starting the Colorado Master Gardener program.
  • March we buy a great used toy hauler travel trailer for camping on the property, and trips etc. We also buy our F250 truck from a Craig's Listing....too cool.
  • April comes and Peter buys his first road bike: Triumph Speed Master...nice bike.
  • May arrives brings the beginning of visit with family...Penny Berg arrives.
  • June brings Georgie and Larry and they/we trip off to various location around the southwest, including Taos Pueblo.

  • Camping at the property. Peter kayaks the Animas river and Tori kayaks the local lakes. All summer.
  • July arrives with my cousin and her wonderful big family - Lori Henderson, Annie & Rubin + 3 kiddies. Mega-fun had by all! This is Alex on Peters' new bike.
  • More camping at the propert>y + we saw a Mt. Lion, bear, elk, coyote, and fox.
  • August we drive over to San Francisco to visit friends James "scooter" and Peg with the twins. Sweet but WAY too short. Then on to San Juan Island to visit friends (too numerous to name) and work on the property. Brought our boat back from the island "safely" and with a new trailer (not the rusty one in this photo!)
    A special thank you to Ross and Shona.
  • September-December Tori goes back to school... Fall Semester...
    Did you know semesters are f-ing marathons?
  • November is still the honorary birthday month - you all know whom you are!
  • December: skiing, Christmas and all that fun stuff. Tori graduates from the Master Gardeners program...whew!
