August 25, 2009














WOW--once more I need to play catchup with this blog!! We have been so busy playing tourist with our friends from TX that I have hardly opened the computer. So here goes......

August 18 -- Another work day off the list. Mike is still working on the deck along with assorted other chores. My chore for the day was taking pictures of the completed safety issues along with getting some of the appliances ordered.

August 19 -- Finished getting all the appliances ordered. Yea! Some of our friends came to see the refuge and the Visitor Center. Today is our oldest son's birthday--HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODD!!

August 20 -- We went to Fun Valley to see everyone. So much fun visiting and as always, wonderful food.

August 21 -- We went to the Royal Gorge with Bruce & Ann Shove. Ann is terribly afraid of heights but we got her on the sloped railway...she did great. Mike & I crossed the gorge on the tram while Bruce & Ann went on the trolley. We all rode the trolley back to get the car, then drove over the bride. GREAT DAY!

August 22 -- Another day with the Shove's. Today we went to Creede to tour the underground fire station and the mining museum. Afterward we ate with the crowd at Fun Valley. Great chili, Jean.

August 23 -- Today was an at home day. Usual fun items to take care of (laundry) plus Mike had several items he wanted to get done around here. He finished my beautiful craft cabinet and more shelves for the medicine cabinet. The cabinet makes a great end table and has plenty of storage for all my craft stuff!!!

August 24 -- Today was the first day of school for all of our grandkids -- Have a great year kids!!!! We took all of the group to Baca NWR. With all of the old buildings and history it is one of my favorite places in the valley. After lunch, we all went to the Great Sand Dunes NP. AMAZING place. Of course, we had to eat once more before saying goodbye to all. Some of the group is leaving tomorrow, others are leaving on Wednesday and the rest will be meeting us at Delores, CO. on Sept 1st.

August 25 -- Mike played golf and I beaded. Not much going on today !!
