Ty’s off again this morning to the ranch to groom, feed, ride and take care of the horses. I need to get him moving in about 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile Lori needs to leave in about 15 minutes for her post-op appointment in Denver on her eyes. Jag will stay sleeping as he has two basketball games tonight.
Yesterday I threw the boys in the truck at 7am and headed down the hill. Our first stop was our friend Libby’s who is a dermatologist. Both boys had a couple warts that needed to be shaved off and freezed. Â I guess kids their age are prone to warts as their immune systems are still developing. After that we made a quick stop at a couple stores before all three of us had haircuts from our friend Jeannie who’s going to Italy with us. She drove into a salon just to take care of us and never charges us which is nice. Then we headed up the hill and made it home around 4pm. Jag changed clothes and I rushed him off to school for basketball practice. While he was there I went to pick up our fresh chickens as they were just slaughtered the day before yesterday. The come from a farm about an hour down the road and are pasture raised with zero antibiotics which is not what you get in any store. I have to say, it was about the best chicken I’d ever had in my life. Chris, our butcher friend, said to cook them at 425 degrees for 1 hour which seemed high to me but it turned out perfect. He and his fiance started a local meat company that only buys local products. It’s mostly beef but now also chickens, raw honey and other things from small local farmers. His ham, he smokes with honey and whiskey and is unbelievable. I think Jag ate a pound last night!
Time to get moving as it’s now 7am. I saw some heavy rain and hail in Denver on the news last night but it was 80 and beautiful up here. In the news, I’m sure you all saw the attack in Turkey yesterday at the World’s 11th largest airport, and yet our govt says the terrorists are on the run, yea right. Also in Denver someone shot someone and then shot himself at the very spot Aleks and I had lunch 3 days ago, 15th and Wynkoop. Watch your back!
Time to get moving as I need to finish washing Ty’s clothes and get him up. Have a great day and GB.
