Mark always thought it would be fun to have one of the boats that this dad had helped make. Out of the blue, TeVogt’s

selfer was finalizing plans to build a basic two-car garage at his North Omaha home. The project grew more ambitious when TeVogt got the idea to add a workshop and a second story — for a guesthouse that would include rafters to suspend the 1960s-era Ole Lind craft.

He celebrated the garage loft’s completion last December with a round of open houses for neighbors and friends. A plaque at the foot of the stairs lives up to the invitation: “Come on up!

Yes, that would be Mary Robinson, the wife of the first owner, who makes her presence felt. “She loves Christmas,” Linda says. “She loves it when I’m decorating. She’s right there with me.” Linda isn’t the only one to sense Mary’s presence. Her son and a cousin swear they’ve seen her, and when the couple operated their home as a bed and breakfast for eight years, guests would occasionally ask about the person who would open their door to tell them goodnight. “Mary died here of old age,” Linda says. “She was happy and she stayed is our theory.”

SHELLY MINETTE’S HOLIDAY DECORATING TIPS Don’t get locked into a current trend Minette goes with the flow and lets the house dictate the direction on decorations. Her first house with the Christmas Caravan wasn’t as contemporary as the Clures’ and had more tans, so she used gold, silver and rose gold. Red and green forever Red is a classic that never grows old, Minette says. If you want to freshen the look, inject some sparkle with red glitter balls or stems. If rustic is your style, try red berry garlands and stems.

Look for inspiration

What’s hot

Consider what you have

Magazines are good resources and Pinterest never fails, Minette says. She has a bulletin board in her office filled with images of things she likes and draws from for inspiration.

Navy, silver and white appear to be the go-to colors this season, Minette says. For one client, Minette is planning navy blue ornaments and silver stems for a platinum tree and garland.

Biggest impact

Long-lasting

Trees get Minette’s vote. Big, small, skinny, tall. “Trees just make it Christmas to me,” she says. “It makes it a holiday.”

Minette says a bonus for the Clures is that they aren’t locked into just a Christmas theme. Their winter wonderland décor can easily stay up into January or February. That’s not always the case with a space decorated in red, green and gold.

One client of Minette’s wanted a white and silver tree. Instead of buying all new decorations, they brought out all of the client’s Christmas totes and sorted through them. “We didn’t have to buy a single thing,” Minette says. “Sometimes you have to have someone else’s eye to look at your stuff.” Need help? Designers can do projects big and small, and for any budget. Just don’t wait until the last minute to hire someone. Last year, Minette decorated 28 houses and had to turn some people away.

Just the right size If your new baby comes in a 4-inch-wide pot, don’t transplant it in a 10-inch version. All that soil can stay wet too long and rot the roots of your plant.

Most plants actually like tight quarters. “You want a pot where the plant can efficiently drink that water in a timely manner,” Hubbard says. “In terms of watering, you want the soil to dry

glitter lights DON’T TOSS THOSE SPENT BULBS! THEY CAN SPARKLE AND SHINE IN A SECOND LIFE TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY

KILEY CRUSE

Every year when I unpack my outdoor Christmas lights, it never fails that half of the C9 bulbs have somehow stopped working while in hibernation. All it takes is glue, glitter and a little imagination to give these spent bulbs new life as ornaments, tabletop décor, garland and more.

INSTRUCTIONS C9 or other holiday bulbs Craft glue Small paintbrush Glitter

1. Using a small paintbrush, coat the glass part of the bulb with glue. 2. Over a piece of paper on a flat surface, sprinkle glitter over the bulb until the glue is completely covered. 3. Set aside to dry. 4. If bulb isn’t completely covered, repeat steps 1-3. 5. Optional: cover the metal stem of the bulb with glue and coat with gold glitter. 6. For hanging ornaments, either tie ribbon around the stem or drill small holes in the metal to string ribbon through.

a sea of dunes A RANDOM COLORADO SIDE TRIP LEADS TO A GEOLOGICAL WONDER

STORY CHRIS CHRISTEN PHOTOGRAPHY CHRIS CHRISTEN + KURT A. KEELER

W

The dunes were 10 times better than e’ve been going to Colorado for decades. But always to the same family-

connected places: Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Springs, Guffey near Cripple Creek. In early September, a seven-day vacation under pandemic conditions had us headed that direction again. But this time my husband suggested an addition to our itinerary: Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve near Alamosa. I was game to see North America’s tallest dunes — even though it meant a five-hour drive south from Estes Park with not much sightseeing in between. Kurt was careful not to oversell the dunes. He feared I might be underwhelmed. He had worried unnecessarily.

The drive through the foothills of the Front Range was varied and scenic. imagined. I wished our time in the park could have been longer — three hours wasn’t nearly enough, even on an 80-degree day with a woefully slim supply of bottled water in our backpacks. The Great Sand Dunes are a geological wonder. Estimated to be 440,000 years old, they’re continually being shaped by the forces of wind and water between the San Juan Mountains and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The basic explanation is that over time, opposing winds, a huge supply of sand from the valley floor, and the sand recycling action of two nearby creeks caused the dunes to push back on themselves and grow vertically, some rising 750 feet. Thirty square miles of this sandy wilderness is mind-boggling. About a

IF YOU GO What: Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Mosca, Colorado Hours: The park is open 24 hours a day, year-round. Visitor center hours vary by season. Check the website for temporary impacts of the pandemic. Park activities: Each season offers unique experiences, from wildlifesightings (black bear, elk, bobcat and bighorn sheep) to dune hikes after dark (no flashlights required under a full moon on a cloudless night!). Good to know: There weren’t many tourists on our stop during the pandemic. Given the expanse of the dunefield, everyone can feel safe. For those with mobility issues, the park service offers free fat-tire wheelchairs for exploring into the dunes. Day pass: $25 per vehicle General information: 719-378-6300, nps.gov/grsa; Visitor Center & Park Service, 719-378-6395

GETTING THERE Don’t rely on GPS here! The only paved-highway access is via U.S. 160 and Colorado 150 from the south, or Colorado 17 and County Lane 6 from the west.

GOOD TO KNOW

» Elevations range from 7,500 to nearly 14,000 feet. If you’re a flatlander, give yourself time to acclimate before setting out on a vigorous hike. Drink lots of water and carry dark chocolate — eating a bit helps with lightheadedness.

» Sand temperatures can reach 150 F in summer. Closed-toe shoes are a must. Sneakers work best; trekking through sand is a workout. If you’re hiking with a pet, protect its feet as well and pack a dish for water.

» Weekends in late May and June are crowded; midweek is the better choice. Avoid July for the mosquitoes. September brings the best weather and aspen color; November, elk herds.

Baked apple cranberry stuffing TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY KILEY CRUSE

A Bundt pan is an easy way to prepare your holiday stuffing, and the result is

beautiful enough to serve as your table’s centerpiece. Our sweet-savory recipe below is a certified crowd-pleaser.

TOTAL TIME: 50 MINUTES, SERVES 11

INSTRUCTIONS 12 ounces packaged stuffing mix 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1½ cups chopped celery 1½ cups chopped onion 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth 1 large Honeycrisp apple, diced 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped 4 large eggs ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼8 teaspoon black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. 2. Place stuffing mix in an extra-large bowl. 3. Heat butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. 4. Add chopped onion and celery and sauté until tender and translucent. If you prefer a little crunch in your stuffing, undercook until al dente. 5. Add broth, apple and dried cranberries to the vegetable mixture. Season with cinnamon and black pepper. 6. Pour mixture over stuffing. 7. Whisk eggs, add to the bowl and mix until stuffing is coated. 8. Spray the Bundt pan with non-stick baking spray (a spray oil containing flour). 9. Spoon stuffing mixture into the Bundt pan and press into the mold. 10. Bake for 30 minutes. 11. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from pan. For best results, run a small spatula down the sides of the pan before flipping the stuffing onto a serving platter. Adapted from peasandcrayons.com

Note: You can adapt any stuffing recipe for Bundt pan baking. The key is the 4 eggs, which give the stuffing just the right consistency for the fluted pan. If your recipe already calls for eggs, add more to reach a total of 4. omaha.com/inspiredliving

Bundt pan spinach lasagna TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY KILEY CRUSE The ultimate comfort food takes an unexpected turn in a Bundt pan. This version calls for spinach mixed with the ricotta cheese.

INSTRUCTIONS 18 lasagna noodles, cooked 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, diced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup frozen spinach, drained ½ pound lean ground beef 24-ounce jar spaghetti sauce, divided 15 ounces ricotta cheese 2 ¼3 cup grated parmesan cheese ½ cup fresh basil, chopped 2 eggs 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Boil the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente, or 2 minutes shy of the package directions. Drain and lay the cooked noodles on a lightly oiled baking sheet. 2. In a frying pan, brown the ground beef. Drain the grease, transfer the meat to a small bowl and set aside. 3. Preheat oven to 375 F. 4. In a medium-sized bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan cheese, eggs and chopped basil. Set aside. 5. In a large frying pan, add the olive oil, onion and garlic, and cook until ingredients begin to brown, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes. 6. Add a third of the onion to the bowl of ground beef. Add 1 cup of spaghetti sauce and stir to combine. 7. Add the spinach to the remaining onion in the pan and sauté until warmed through. Add spinach mixture to the bowl of ricotta and stir to combine. 8. Slice six of the lasagna noodles in half for layering between the meat and the cheese mixture. 9. Lay 12 noodles into the bottom of a non-stick Bundt pan, fanning them in an overlapping pattern and taking the ends up the middle and over the sides of the pan. 10. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella over the noodles in the bottom of the pan. This will help bind the noodles when cooked. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly in a ring around the mozzarella, then layer with half of the cut noodles. Spread all of the meat sauce mixture over the noodles in an even ring, then layer with the remaining cut noodles and ricotta mixture. 11. Fold the long edges of the lasagna noodles back toward the center of the pan, creating another overlapping pattern. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella evenly on top. 12. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the cheese is a deep golden brown. Check the lasagna after 30 minutes. If the cheese is browning too much, cover lightly with foil for the remainder of the baking time. 13. Cool for 45-60 minutes, then carefully invert the ring onto a cutting board. Place a small bowl of marinara sauce in the center of the ring for topping, and serve. Inspired by The Chew
