It’s still hot and the forecast has us in the mid 90’s all week. The misses and I drove to Vail yesterday afternoon to go to our friends party. The journey started off slow with I-70 westbound totally shut down. It seems some truck driver drove his over sized load under an overpass and got it stuck. It took us a good 45 minutes just to get passed the gridlock. Once we hit the open road it was smooth sailing all the way to Vail. We stopped at some friends house on the way for a short visit. They have a beautiful house on the Eagle river that’s so picturesque and calming. It sure would be nice to live on a rushing stream or river. We arrived at the party about 45 minutes after it began and ran into a bunch of our friends. Jerry and Marcie, our hosts, recently bought a huge home in Boca Raton and upon hearing we might be down there later in the year, told us to make sure and let them know when we’re coming. I know he bought some huge 100 foot plus boat so when we make it down there we’ll have to go see them so the kids can get a boat ride. We left after a couple of hours and decided to drive home to Denver. The misses and I rarely get a chance to talk for any length of time without the kids, so it was great to have some time to just have uninterrupted adult talk. The 1 1/2 hour drive went so fast, we hardly noticed. We arrived home at 10:30 and decided to stay up and watch a movie. I made it through the whole thing but Mom’s going to have to watch the last 30 minutes over this morning. We finally made it to bed around 12:30 and it was eerie how quiet it was without the boys.
Speaking of the boys, they of course were at Uncle T and Aunt B’s. Before that, they spent the afternoon at their little neighbor friends playing. Their friends had been in Central America for two months and then in Kansas City for a week and finally made it home at 1:30 yesterday afternoon. I think today we’ll bbq or something as school starts tomorrow! We should see if Grandma wants to come over. The misses and the boys took the dogs up to Grandma’s earlier in the day and also went on a bike ride while I cleaned the house. It’s only been a day but I need to clean up again. I don’t know how it got so messy with no one here??? Maybe the dog had a few friends over while we were gone.
I think I’m getting arthritis is a couple of my fingers. They’re kind of painful right at the knuckle below the finger nails on 2 fingers. Must be from all the typing I do on the computer as it’s on my “typing” hand. Mom’s on the couch with me right now moving a little slower than usual due to a couple of adult beverages last night. We’re off to the gym in a few minutes to sweat it out and then we’ll go pick up the boys. It’s hard to believe it’ll be September in about 10 days, Wow.
Time to run, no politics again. In fact I think I’ll take a break and keep my opinions to myself for a bit. I’m watching the news right now and the Presidents people are blaming the Arab Spring for all our troubles, are you kidding me? Come on, I mean will this man ever take responsibility for anything? Sorry sorry, I just can’t stand it! I’d better run before I “go off” on this mess again. Let’s all just have a great day and try to do the best that we can. It’s going to be a big week so stay tuned for lots of kid news.
Take care and God Bless,
