I had a great Memorial Day Weekend! Sure nice to have a 3 day weekend! Friday I went out for Mex. Saturday I helped Robert plate up a wedding then went to the Peanut Bar for half price burgs. Sunday was poolside at Robert’s condo then steaks on the grill. Monday went to Nordys and the Culinary Dropout (great restaurant)! I agree with Annette – you gotta be careful with Workman’s Comp – they will even hire people to follow you! Yahooie and Yippie to the boys – enjoy summer!
Well, yesterday at 12:45 school officially ended for the year. Hard to believe it’s already summer. Monday we’ll start the chores, summer school work, swim team practice, etc. The only thing we started right away was the tv restrictions.
The misses was at school helping with various parties most of the morning while I ran several errands for work. I did stop by a friends shop who sells old indian antiques in Cherry Creek. I dropped him off a sample bottle of wine he likes and he gave me this old photograph from about the 1940’s or so of an indian man herding his sheep in Canyon de Chelly. It’s amazing with the scenery and clouds but didn’t look that great as the frame was as old as the picture. It also wasn’t mounted very well. We immediately dropped it a couple blocks away with our friend Chris who frames art for most of the galleries in town. He said it’s a shame as this photo deserved better. He’ll re-do it for us in a cool frame with matting and we’re thinking of hanging it above the fireplace, wait to you see it, it’s a very cool vintage photograph. It’s fun to rotate art in your house every so often as it gives rooms a completely new look and you get to see pieces you don’t normally notice. Uncle T and my Mom should try this. It seems people hang paintings and then leave them in the same spot forever. Move them around, it’s fun!
Meanwhile we’d dropped the boys at the Chalkers after school party as soon as they were out. They had a dunk tank, 3 water slides and huge bouncy castle, a hot dog machine, cotton candy machine, sno cone machine and water balloons, and a margarita machine and cocktails for the adults. The kids were in heaven. We ran to the grocery store and while on the way sitting at a stoplight, we witnessed a car run smack dab into an old man crossing the street. The guy who hit him was 80 and gay (not that that matters) and didn’t even see him. We helped the victim up and called 911 and then had to wait for the cops which took 20 minutes or so to arrive. Everyone was on the same page with the details of what happened so we left. We made it back to the Chalkers and after  4 hours at the party, we loaded up the boys and took them home.
When we arrived home the oldest went out and caught a snake (one of his favorite pastimes) and put it in our garden as the misses keeps seeing a mouse run in her flowers. I’m not so sure a small garter snake can eat a big mouse but we’ll see. The youngest has had a headache on and off for a few days so he slept with us last night. He’s been sleeping in his own bed so Mom said ok. Everyone is sleeping still at 6:30 and will probably do so until 8ish. I need to get the trash out as our pickup was delayed a day this week due to the holiday. Mid 90’s for the next 3 days, uggh.
Take care, stay safe and God Bless
