A Year of Change

Today I need to run down to Denver for a new windshield as ours cracked over the weekend. I hope to get down and up by 2 as I have a 9:30 appointment in Arvada.

Lori is still sick and she came home from work early yesterday. I thought I was getting her crud too but hopefully have fought it off with a bunch of Vitamin C and tea.

The boys are doing well. It seems as though the year is almost gone as they only have about 8 weeks of school left. Snow tomorrow and then I think that’s it for the season but you never know.

It’s 6am so time to run, hope all’s well, GB

We made it down to my Mom’s a bit before 11am. We had a nice visit with her for an hour and ate some great pie! Tom and Ali showed up on their way to lunch, they looked good. Tommy as of yesterday went 5 months without smoking, whoo hoo!

We then headed home as we were supposed to be at Sue’s by 3 for dinner. We made it there by 3:30 and had a nice time until we came home at 6:30. Lori is sick today. She’s going in for a little bit but should stay home.

I need to get to Denver to replace my windshield and get Jagger to the dermatologist one day this week. It’s 6:45 now so time to run, hope all is well with everyone, take care and God Bless.

Just as he said he would, on Easter Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead. Today is probably the holiest of all days, even though a lot of people think Christmas is. I won’t go off here but would suggest if you are not familiar with the story of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, you check it out. The most important thing you can do is make sure you’re right with God!

Happy Easter!

Today we’re headed down to Grandma’s. Wish we could be with you other Grandma’s too! We should get down there by 10 or 10:30 and then be back up here around 2;30. We went to dinner last night after Ty’s birthday party and then headed home.

Hard to believe we’re in the last week of March, Spring will be here soon. Hope everyone enjoys the day, take care, have fun and God Bless you.

Well we just stayed home last night. Nothing special for our anniversary as every day is like an anniversary! We were going to go out but just didn’t get it together, plus Lori’s back is still a little sore.

Today Ty has a birthday party around 3 this afternoon. Jagger might go skiing with friends and I’ll probably try to clean up a bit around here. We had a little snow last night but nothing to write home about.

Work is going well for Lori and I. We both have issues that pop up every day but we fight through them.

That’s about it, I just erased a big paragraph about politics as no point in depressing everyone on this holiest of weekends. Have a great day and God Bless.

16 years ago today in Scottsdale Arizona, was the luckiest day of my life. As you know, it was the day I married my best friend, my soul mate and the love of my life. As we sit here 16 years later, we’ve really done a lot in those years. We really don’t fight at all, maybe disagree a time or two, but have always had the ability to get passed anything in a few hours. I can’t imagine my life without Lori and thank God for bringing her into my life.

So what are we doing today to celebrate, well, pretty much more of the same, nothing special. Lori’s back is jacked up again from trying to pull on some boots yesterday morning and the kids have school and I have work. We had a dusting of snow last night but nothing to talk about. We are driving down to see my Mom for Easter. We’ll show up mid morning and have some coffee and donuts ( my Mom and the boys on the donuts!) and visit for a bit. Later in the day Tom and Ali and my Mom will have dinner as we’re going to head back up after brunch as we all have work and school the next day and Mojo at home.

If you think back 16 years, a lot has changed. Not just for us, but in the World. We have two great kids and we’ve lost loved ones, and had lots of good times. The World has changed, and I think we’d all agree, not for the better. There was no Isis, politicians would disagree but come together in the end, and people just seemed to care about each other more than they do today. Now it’s all me, me, me. Whatever happened to doing something for someone else and expecting nothing in return? Even though people now have a different attitude, kindness and compassion are still in us. It has to be as without it, all is lost. Hopefully something good will come out of all this discord in the World and bring us all back together. You have to have faith though to get you through life, and if you’re one of the lucky ones, a wife like mine! God Bless.

It’s been a rough week for Lori. She made it home around 7 last night but did book a Tlif for Friday which is a $100K surgery and it’s a self pay! Self pay’s are great as no insurance is involved and they’re more profitable. She normally doesn’t do the surgery booking but took over handling the VIP patients and doing a great job. This is outside of her responsibilities but pretty much does any and everything.

I think we have a bit more snow but nothing like Denver. Tommy sent a picture and they had 17 inches! I guess most of the city was shut down and is still struggling today. The airport was even closed yesterday which is a first since 2006. I still have computer work but did manage to get the boys sheets washed yesterday. We sure need a 3 day weekend but don’t have one coming up anytime soon. I think we’re going down to Denver Sunday morning for Easter unless it snows again. Have a good day, GB.

We woke up to maybe 4 or 5 inches of fresh snow outside but when you live in the mountains, it’s just another day. It’s funny as on tv, they’re showing the snow in Denver which is about the same, and almost every school is closed for the day. Guess it’s just what you’re used to.

Lori worked from 7:30 am until 8 pm last night. This made for a long day as we had student teacher conferences before that starting at 7 am. Both boys are doing great! Say what you will about private school versus public school, but for our kids, it’s a great thing. Both boys are excelling far above how they would do in public schools as students just cannot get the attention there (in public) due to budgets and teacher student ratios. Plus, we think our teachers really are that much better and seem to care more. Here there is no tenure or job security. If you’re not a good teacher, you’re out. No union or guarantees, you’re either a great or you’re gone.

Today I have a bunch of computer work. I stopped and visited with my Mom and Popcorn yesterday and both look good. More to come including the promised steps to prepare for the coming election season. Hope all’s well, GB.

Ok, I know I promised a follow up on yesterday’s post but that’ll have to wait as we have conferences at 7am and then I’m off to the Dept of Wildlife in Denver. The boys are off school and will be home. Jag was home yesterday with flu like symptoms. I took him to the doctor and he thankfully didn’t have the flu but does need to rest.

Lori’s back seems a little better but is still sore. There was a big terrorist attack in Europe. Just a sign of things coming soon to a neighborhood near you! Just what we need on top of all of the problems of our own. Say a prayer and God Bless.

I guess it’s going to be in the 70’s in Denver today so Spring is here. But hold on a minute as on Wednesday the temperature is going to drop 30 degrees or so. Looks like it’ll be another 2 weeks of rain and snow mix which isn’t unusual.

Today though we have bigger problems. Now I’ve stayed away from politics for a while but time is running short for you all to get prepared. I’m not talking about some end to society but rather the coming unrest due to the elections around the corner. Some are comparing this summer to the Summer of 68. For those of you with bad memories or not old enough, 1968 was a summer of protest and political suppression by the powers that be. You see, they are very very nervous. The Donald, (say what you will about him), is shaking up the establishment and Hillary is no better as her policies over the years show that she will utterly destroy life as we know it. So either way, you should expect some unrest and disruptions of your daily life. You may think this won’t effect me, I’ll just stay home, but this time, it’s bigger than that. Our food supply (at your local store) is bound to be impacted along with your money (the stock market and the dollar’s buying power) and worst of all, your rights as a citizen. Surely when things get out of hand, the elites will try to take away your rights by enforcing laws meant to protect them. This could include curfews in certain areas, restrictions on protesting and more. Talking about protesting, even if you don’t like Donald Trump, it’s interesting how the only ones protesting and suppressing free speech are Hillary and Bernie protesters showing up at Trump events. You don’t see Trump supporters showing up at the Dem’s events, think about that. In fact, the Dem’s are always the ones screaming about the right to free speech until it involves speech they don’t like, hmmm. Doesn’t make much sense does it and no matter which side you’re on, that’s 100% true!

Anyhow time to run. I managed to clean out the garage and make another trip to the storage unit. Lori’s back is still sore and she has a VIP patient flying in from Mexico at 7:30 this morning. I have a lot of computer work to do today and then will run to Denver tomorrow. Looks like snow for Easter, super. Not sure where the Easter Bunny will hide eggs. Have a great day, and don’t miss tomorrow as we’ll visit a few things you need to do now to provide a little peace of mind for the rest of the year, GB.

Yesterday we loaded up the truck, mostly with Christmas decorations, and headed down by the Eagle Airport where we rented a second storage unit. They only had a 10 X 15 left so we took it and are on the list for a larger one if someone moves out. Today we’ll keep cleaning the garage out and take another load down. It was sunny and nice in the mid 40’s yesterday and will hopefully be more of the same today.

Ty spent the night at Warners and Jag and Lori are still sleeping. Not sure what else we’ll do today besides clean. That’s it for the day, on my 3rd cup of coffee, time to get to work. Hope Popcorn is doing well.
