Another day, same old stuff. Enough said. It was warm yesterday, about 70 degrees and you could feel Spring in the air. We were off early, about 6:30, to the youngest ones d.i. presentation. We arrived a bit after 7 which was a little too early but we got a good parking space. At 8:18 his group had their Instant Challenge where parents are not allowed to watch and then at 9:20 their Team Challenge which we did see. They did great and we were finished 10 minutes later and on the way home.
After a quick stop at the grocery store, the youngest headed out to play with his friends while the oldest one and I headed off to the Colorado Horse Expo. We arrived and walked around a bit and then met up with our friends from Wyoming after they finished watching a horse clinic. We had lunch and then the oldest and I headed for home knowing we’d see our friends in a few hours after the show. I picked up the dog “you know what” in the back yard then jumped in the car to drive up north to pick up our smoked meat for dinner. Meanwhile, Eddie, Lisa and 3 and 1/2 year old Dallie (our cowboy family from Wyoming) arrived at the house after the horse show. The oldest one took Dallie outside and they played all kinds of games. I made it home 20 minutes later and we all visited for the next few hours and ate the freshly smoked meat which was great. About 7:30 they headed back to their hotel with a bunch of stuffed animals in tow from the big bags the boys have designated as ones to donate or give away. She was so cute and talked in a “matter of fact” way. If you’d ask her a question, she’d tilt her head and answer you like a teenager. She’s all of about 2 feet tall in cowboy boots, jeans and a studded belt with her hair in ribbons. They’re a young hard working, good family that have turned out to be really good friends.
The boys had one of the neighbor kids spend the night so they all played upstairs until bedtime. Earlier in the afternoon, while we were at the horse show, the youngest rode his bike up to Tellers, (the new restaurant we wrote about a week ago) for lunch with the neighbors. It was a good ride to 20th and Youngsfield (maybe a mile or so) and he had lots of fun.
It’s going to be warm today and the misses is determined to get some exercise. They way she looks at it is she can’t feel any worse so why not. I’m not going to go into all our crap again but we’re soooo tired of it. Something’s gotta give. Tomorrow we’ll get an mri and then sometime next week head to Vail to see the country’s top neck doc.
Time to run, I too have to get some exercise, sometime, somehow. All the boys are still sleeping. Hope you all are well, enjoy the day and God Bless.
