Packing up and Moving!

I’m hoping that very soon this will be the home of Black Sheep.  After several months over at “that other blog spot,” my frustration has reached critical mass and I’m ready to make a change.  Look for me here……..as soon as I can figure out how it all works. 
So, here are my questions for all of you familiar [...]

It’s been a few days……

…………… so I thought I’d bring you up to date as to what’s been going on around Black Sheep Central.
First up……..

We’ve been back in our house here in Colorado for over a year now, and as is most often the case, our bedroom has been largely ignored. Most of the house got a fresh coat [...]

Another weekend is history. Do you realize that Christmas is just more than 2 months from now? Yikes.

Saturday. Can I just stop here and say, our merry band of knitters is the best bunch of girls on the planet? I know, I know, you all feel the same way about your best girls (and guys), [...]

Because I couldn’t resist.

48 Things You Could Care Less About
1. FIRST NAME? Lisa
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? I don’t think so.
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Don’t laugh…but I got weepy this morning listening to my new cd, and last night when my son wrote “RIP Zach Smith” on his childhood cancer donation thingy. As for a [...]

Things to smile about….

Yesterday, we woke up to this:

…..a wee bit more than a dusting, but not nearly what it could have been. Needless to say, it was the perfect kind of day for curling up with a good book and cupppa something. Late in the day, Alex and I headed out for Starbucks and some retail therapy. [...]

A new member of the family!

I’d like to introduce Baker!

Ya know how some people are dog people (some are cat people, bird people, snake people……)? Brett has always been dog people. In fact, he loves animals of all kinds, loves zoo’s and nature films and so on. Since he was very little, we’ve always had animals of one kind or [...]

Yep…

……they’re really that close.
Here’s the thing I love about Rocky Mountain National Park (and Estes Park); there’s no other place that I have ever been where one can enjoy beautiful vista’s and wildlife this up close and personal.
And I never get used to it. I take a ton of pictures, stare and gawk and feel [...]

The Last Minute….

Ever think about how many things would never happen were it not for the last minute?
The van is packed, and very soon we will be walking out the door and heading up to our favorite camping spot in Rocky Mountain National Park. This is the very best time of year to go, with [...]

meme and youyou

It’s grey and gloomy here today, and I’m having a tough time getting myself motivated to do anything. My mind is as foggy as the weather, and I haven’t done anything remotely “blog worthy” in days. I’ve thought about posting one of the meme’s currently running around blogland, but I can’t think of 10 knitterly [...]

Another Tuesday

I woke up this morning to a dusting of snow on the ground, not unusual for our part of the country, but I was hoping for a bit more autumn before jumping into winter. Of course, everything could change by the weekend, and I may get the camping trip in yet.
This past weekend was full [...]
