8am and sunny, that’s what’s going on this morning. The colors up here are so vibrant compared to Denver. It’s mainly due the less oxygen in the air and a lot less pollution. In any case, the sky is bright blue and the trees are as green as green gets. Throw in the sound of the rushing water in the river and it’s hard to beat.
Yesterday Lori and I went into town and walked around the art festival. We didn’t buy anything as we’re trying to save money. Jag went mountain biking with a couple friends and then ended up going to a movie in town before I finally picked him up a bit after 9pm. Ty played around the house and then we took him for ice cream before grilling up some meat for dinner.
Today I think we’re going on a hike. Something to get some exercise. The mornings are just cool enough to feel good but not cold. Tomorrow Ty goes to horse camp. He has a daily program from 9 until 3:30 where he rides, grooms, feeds and take care of horses. He’s wanted a horse forever. Grandpa told him years ago he’d get him one and he’s never let up on his dream. However if you know anything about horses, they’re expensive! So instead, we’re doing the horse camp at Vail Stables. We do get a local discount that helps. I have a buddy who we could get a horse from for the season each year but that still requires boarding, feeding, vet care and more. Trust me, the day camp is a much better deal. Maybe next year if he’s still into it, which I believe he will be, he’ll get his own horse.
Lori’s eyes are still a bit sore, sort of scratchy, but she can see things she’s never seen before, even with glasses. I had no idea her eyesight was so bad! Everyone of course is still sleeping. I should probably get to cleaning around here. I can take my pick, the kitchen, living room, laundry, or even the garage. It’s so good to have so many choices!
Have a great day, hard to believe it’s already June 26th! A week from tomorrow is July 4th and in 3 weeks we’re off to Italy, wow. Hope all’s well, GB.
