TAKING IT EASY

We have seen two baby fawns. They were cute, but didn't stay around long. The deer disappear in the camp when the kids are here, but as soon as they drive off, they are everywhere.

Alice and I drove into Cedaredge for a few things. One of our stops was the library. I got a library card and checked out two really good genealogy books. I also found out they have a genealogy meeting the first Friday of each month. I hope we can stay long enough so I can attend the meeting, but we are suppose to leave at the end of next week. They may not be ready for us in Cheyenne. Another stop we made was the orchard next to the camp. I bought Allan some cherries so he could make a pie. He did and it was good.

We attended a Little Britches Rodeo last weekend. The kids were so cute and some were really good. They had mutton busting. One little boy road the sheep backwards, laying face down and holding on. It was so funny to watch. He won. The sheep ran around the arena at least 3 times before they could get him off.

Saturday we drove to Grand Junction. We picked up my shoes that had been ordered for me. We also did the regular stops of Lowes, Barnes and Noble, McDonalds, Chick-Fil-A and Allan got a hair cut. We purchased a roll out metal drawer for one of the cabinets in the motorhome. Allan installed it and it works great. No more pulling everything out to get to something in the back. I have a wonderful and talented husband. That night we went to a street dance in Cedaredge. We had fun. We were able to dance some. There was a line dance group who put on an exhibition. After the dance started they invited us to join their group.

Sunday we went to church in Delta. We had planned to go back to the canyon, but it looked like rain so we decided to postpone that outing. Instead we worked around the motorhome.

Glen came over for supper on Monday. Allan grilled salmon. Yummy. Glen was nice enough to look at our DVD player. He got my DVD "Road to the Horse" out which had been lost in the abyss of the DVD player. Later that night Allan took it apart and got the other DVD out.

This week we have had a full schedule of work, but we have not gotten enough sleep. We stay up way too late and then watch Bill Cosby Show on DVD. Katie has been sleeping all day and decides to wake up around 4 AM and run wildly through the motorhome. She does a flying leap onto the bed and says let's play. Anybody want a cat? I wouldn't give her away. She is too sweet, just annoying at times early in the morning. We slept in late on Saturday and took a nap this afternoon. Allan went to the stock car races tonight.

I have had some issues with my computer. It is making funny sounds and smoked once when I sat it down. I feverishly tried backing up everything several different ways just in case the computer decided to die. We also purchased a MiFi. We got it installed and we got on but it does kick us off at times. We found we were not able to print. Our HP is wireless. Verizon guys told us we could not use the MiFi for wireless printing. I worked on this thing all last night. Guess what, we can use the MiFi for wireless printing. Yea!!!

After over a month without TV, the TV is working thanks to Eric, one of the interns. There really isn't much to watch and the reception here is not good.

We have had more than usual rain here for the past two weeks. Allan got a picture of a rainbow.
