Friday? Where did the week go?

Your schedule for today has worn me out–I may have to go back to bed. Today is a very sad one because we have lost our dear friend, Gordon Harris. He was unique and the lives of so many will feel his not being around to make us all laugh. Thank you for keeping on writing the blog because, even though I seldom agree with the political side, I really look forward each morning to see what is going on in the lives of my loved ones. I feel a new sense of thankfulness for the fact that Lori’s head is no longer hurting. Thank you God. (I took my driver’s test yesterday and passed 100 percent) You can’t imagine the agony I’ve been having getting ready for it. Now I can breathe a bit more easily. Love you all, Grandma Okie

We’re sorry for your loss, I think we met Gordon at your 80th birthday party, he was a nice man. We are happy for your driving test! There are lots of older people (not that you’re one of them) that should not be on the road. Glad you got 100%, we would expect nothing less.

Today we were going to head up to our friends house in Vail for the weekend and take the boys snowboarding but the eldest isn’t feeling well. We’ll see how the day goes.

Yesterday we ( the misses and I) had a great meeting with the Ritz Carlton. I sat in to help her out as Elways Restaurant is inside the Downtown location and I think I’ll hold a Bocelli lunch there in June before the concert. Anyhow the meeting went great. It was serendipity as it seems like a perfect fit, the misses skin care line and the spa at the Ritz.

The boys had another great day and then the oldest was off the baseball while the youngest, as we said yesterday, was off to D.I. So we accomplished everything on our list and then some. Today is just as busy with both boys having lots to do, Mom back downtown, and me here and there. The days are almost a blur as Saturday doesn’t seem much different than a weekday. We need to just take a day to chill, maybe do some yard work. We’re already late so I have to run.

Here’s a good one, the oldest made some fake blood out of food coloring and corn syrup and poured it out in the street which we then had to try to wash off, (it doesn’t come off), and in the process spilled some on the kitchen floor where it also doesn’t come off! Boys will be boys. if you think about it, fake blood, especially a big bowl, sounds pretty darn cool!

If we don’t go to the mountains, we’ll head down to Elways for dinner as they invited us down. No politics today, just for you Grandma Dix, but look out tomorrow or Monday as I’ll be back!

Take care and God Bless.
