Work Day and Mother's Day

Lots of family working and celebrating Mother's Day.  It was very hot and humid but a fun time.

Hey all,
I know this is out of order, or just plain late, but here is a link to a video of my Ultimate Frisbee team that I play with at Tulsa. We got fourth in our section which is the best we've ever done.
Music is can be a little loud so you may want to start the volume on a low setting so it doesn't surprise anyone :)

My Favorite Things

Unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of things to chat about this week.  Its been a pretty uneventful couple of days here in Denver as I prepare for the next move in my life (which, when determined, there will be a blog post about it).  So for today, I thought it might be fun to post pictures of our favorite things.  I'll start the fun and maybe you can add a couple in your comments.

Family
"The most important thing is Family" - Walt Disney

Friends

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." - Oprah

Favorite Things

"Going to the gym wouldn't be on my list of favorite things to do." - Kate Moss

This last one is just for us to laugh at.  Romney and Ryan kissing...hahaha...gotta love the photoshop.

Best to all.

Love,

Charles

Regular Lives of the Rutherfords

Each time our turn comes around on the blog, I am excited to share what we have been up to and yet find that it doesn't seem too exciting all in the same sitting. I suppose many of us feel that way as we live our lives day to day, but really that's pretty good. There are so many people out there who have circumstances that make their lives exciting in a way that you don't really want or that are too lazy to be involved in their lives at all, so if day to day activities is all we have to report to one another, I'd listen in every day!

FROM NYC...

Not a lot of new to report.

***There's the Regular:
Kurtis is working at Cedar Lake, Mary is working with Jersey Boys, Nice Work If You Can Get It and the occasional sit in with Cedar Lake. We both love what we do and are mostly grateful to be doing it every day!

The beer is still brewing at our house. We are doing lots of batches now as it will get too hot over the summer to do much brewing - the beer will not have a cool enough temperature to actually work the fermentation process (no central air here). Both of us are working in the garden this year as Mary has planted tomatoes, basil, garlic, onion, chives, parsley, potatoes, has plans for peppers, and is pleased to see the horse radish return. Kurtis is trying his hand at hops, with four plants in the ground along our fence.

Cats are still in house and getting along like two siblings. Need I say more...

***Then, there's the good kind of exciting:
At long last, we have booked tickets to Australia! After we finished our European Adventure and the move to NYC, we started thinking about the next place we really wanted to go together. Having met so many wonderful people from Australia on the road and having lots of people that Grandma Johnston and my dad still know very well we decided that it would be a wonderful place to visit. We are often traveling to visit family and friends, but very rarely just to vacation together. This one is scheduled for 3 weeks at the beginning of August!!! Still lots of planning to do, but we are extremely excited to have tickets, which makes it much more of a reality.

To each of you and your regular lives, we send love and best wishes for a spring full of health and happiness!!!
