We woke up this morning to calm, sunny skies. Must be 30 or 40 birds and chipmunks outside feasting on the bird feeders and these cool blocks of compressed seed I picked up at Murdochs, our local farm and ranch store. Beautiful morning. Makes you forget about all the shit going on in the World, as it’s so peaceful.
Jag rolled in around 11pm last night. I think he took a test on-line after he made it home! Ty is at a concert today in Denver but will be back late tonight or in the morning. I went grocery shopping yesterday and picked up a bunch of good stuff for the weekend, including elk and duck brats, some ribs, marinated Asian flank steak, and some Copper River salmon. Lori and I ate the salmon last night.
The town is packed with visitors, so is Aspen with Food and Wine going on. We normally go, but with the concert last Tuesday and the Rolling Stones next Thursday, we passed this year. I think today, Lori, Jag and I will go hit some golf balls at the range. Monday, I get my custom clubs that my guy in Denver measured me for a couple months ago. I’m excited!
Lori is looking as pretty this morning as the sky outside. She has that innate ability to look good, even when she just wakes up. She’s sitting right to the right of me on the couch oblivious to me writing this.
Jag and I are going to set up our Garmin In Reach Mini’s which are satellite communicators that operate off satellites. Both boys have one Lori and I have one so if the cell phone grid goes down, we can still communicate with each other. It’s also great if you’re in the back country, or travelling anywhere, like Spain! I have a new compact Sony camera to figure out how to use too. I bought it for our upcoming trip as it’s really small yet takes professional photos.
Almost 7am, time to get moving. Super happy for Tom and his new girlfriend Holly. Turns out, she and I have tons of mutual friends in common, as she was in the event planning business. It didn’t click with me until I heard her last name. We’re really happy Tom has found someone to do things with and enjoy life, as he deserves it. I told Tom, sorry for meddling, but I needed to check her out, ha. One of the last things Mom said to me was, “promise me you’ll watch over Tommy and Robin”. Plus, that’s just what I do. I’m sort of suspicious in general anyhow, as you all know. Anyhow, again, we’re really happy for Tommy. We hope to formally meet her briefly at the concert on Thursday.
Have a great weekend, stay safe, have fun and God Bless.
