Alt Summit + Autumn Luck?

If I had dew claws I would have them crossed for Mom .... here is why: I secretly know she is obsessed     with Letterpress, paper blogs, photography, smart ideas and outdoor adventures to say the least. The     2013 Alt Summit, which takes place in Salt Lake City, is in it's fourth year (28 dog years). Tickets sold out quickly.
  "For blogging inspiration and business advice check out the new Alt blog" and see for yourself. As with   the above New Yorker cartoon we love to Innovate here at CabinPress Studio and if Mom has some      Autumn luck she will be heading to the Alt Summit to participate with other creative entrepreneurs. Altitude Design Summit is the place to be. Because they feed those obsessions. I can "picture" Mom doing this, so can she!

Life.

I never knew my Dad way back when "film cameras" were all the rage! Here he is at his Firefighter Graduation.

Here is my Dad today! I am glad he will be around all the time now to pet me. He is my Hero.

There is a whole new kind of life ahead, full of experiences just waiting to happen. Some call it "retirement." I call it bliss.
-- Betty Sullivan

President Obama.

WOW... Mom + Dad left me to go listen to the President speak at Colorado State University! They told me it was too hot so I had to stay at home and watch the cat.... humm.

It was a really worthwhile experience to be surrounded by 13,000 people! Next time Mom will bring a "real" camera and stand next to a giant.

Colour.

 
This week for Mom's Passionate Observer photo challenge she was to explore the use of colour and light. Right up Mom's alley! Actually she obsessed over the subject all week and did not remember to pet me much. The Studio attracts the early morning light which I love. No one comes by early in the morning so I can spend some good "porch laying" time getting ready for my day while the Printing Presses start waking up. 

Wordless Wednesday.

Seven.

A little patch I was keeping for my birthday," he said; "but after all, what are birthdays? Here today and gone tomorrow. Help yourself, Tigger. - Eeyore

Here I am thinking "Wow, another great year ...."

Mom surprised me with a Gluten Free Apple Pie and she even added some of her special Wood Type. I waited patiently until Dad took the shot, while I balanced my birthday hat ......

I am trying not to dive into this beauty + also hoping my hat stays on, or at least that little white bally thing ....

Oooopppssss...... the darn hat fell.

Yeah, I FINALLY got to chow down! Don't worry Mom + Dad took pieces BEFORE I got mine. YUMMY. What a great      Birthday, I don't feel a day over 21, again!

Speak To Me.

It was a good thing my Speechless Brothers brought raincoats on our hike!
