This afternoon the oldest guy and 10 of his friends will all go up to Evergreen Lake for his birthday skating party. In lieu of gifts he has asked that everyone bring something for the troops fighting over in Afghanistan. We gave everyone a list of what the soldiers need and will collect all the gifts from the party and then take them down to a place that will ship them to the men and women of our armed forces overseas. He came up with this idea on his own and of course we’re very proud of him.
Wednesday the boys head back to school and I’ll be in Italy later this week for a few days. Meanwhile on Saturday the Broncos will play the Baltimore Ravens Saturday here in Denver. Hopefully we’ll win that game and then be in the AFC Championship game the following week.
So all in all, it’s a busy week. Throw in a meeting I have at 11:30 tomorrow and one the misses and I both have at 5pm tomorrow and there’s not much time to breathe.
Yesterday the misses, as cute as she is in her new work out gear, and her friend took 5 kids in all hiking up to the top of Table Mesa where the kids all played hide and seek for a few hours. They had a blast and even though her head was killing her, off she went.
The National Western Stock Show is coming up here in Denver and we’ll for sure be going. It’s an annual event for us that we all enjoy. Lots of animals, horse, cows, sheep, goats and more, and all things associated with the western way of life.
I’m going to mostly skip politics today whichI know some of you are happy about but there’s no question that we’re still headed in the wrong direction. Both sides are digging in with the Big O throwing around ultimatums like what he says goes without any discussion. He keeps referring to his mandate from the election, well, he did get 51.1% of the vote but that means that there’s 48.9% of the country that didn’t vote for him. He seems to forget this. On the surface some people are blaming the GOP for things like not immediately passing the Superstorm Sandy Aid Bill but upon a closer look it had lots of pork added in by democratic senators such as $150 million for some fishing study in Alaska and so on. Plus the senate gave the house a mere 6 hours to read it! I applaud them for not passing it. it’s time we stop passing bills before we know what’s in them no matter what Nancy Pelosi says. (she famously said we needed to pass Obamacare so we could read it and find out what’s in it!, unbelievable) Oh well, same old, same old, you get the message.
Time to run, lots to do, hope everyone is well and Happy Monday, God Bless.
