Diane's Pumpkin Patch

MilliGFunk and the Giant Pumpkin, photo by Nick

Little is more perfectly fall than picking pumpkins together, and Nick and I are both suckers for fall. We decorated our front porch in fall colors, pumpkins and a scarecrow, and we picked pumpkins together as part of a Groupon date at Diane’s Pumpkin Patch in Canon City, Colorado.

Crashing a Small Town Oktoberfest

MilliGFunk in Small Town, Colorado

Early in Oktober (get it? har har har), Nick and I traveled to a small Colorado town. Said small town is best known for a big hole in the ground near it that you may have heard of — The Royal Gorge. The town is called Canon City, and its population is just over 15,000 [...]

Grace in Small Things (GiST): October 24, 2011

Skyline Drive

Nick and I took a beautiful drive this weekend near Canon City, Colorado, a town of approximately 15,000 people.
Canon City is best known as the home of the Royal Gorge, but what drew us to the town was the Groupon I purchased for a trip for two to Diane’s Pumpkin Patch. At the end of [...]

GiST: Monday, October 2, 2011

It’s Monday morning at 8:30 a.m., and I’ve been baking cookies for hours now – beginning last night, and resuming my baking agenda at 7 this morning.
Know what I’m baking? Christmas cookies.
Sound random? It is.
Why am I doing it? Because my company is going to be doing a cookie photo shoot for a client.
What does [...]
