For most of the afternoon and evening, we had a mix of off and on rain showers. Rain in the mountains is always nice unless it’s too much! Thankfully it was just right.
Lori hosted the baby shower from 5 until about 8. Becky is so poor and appreciated it so much she was crying at the end of it as she was overwhelmed with all the presents she received. This girl drives from Leadville to Vail and back every day to go to work. For those of you that don’t know, that’s about 35 miles up and down Tennessee Pass every day, which is a slow two lane road through the mountains from 7500 feet in Vail to over 10,000 feet in Leadville. And on top of that, her and her husband only have one car so he actually drives her up and down the mountain each day. I guess as my Mom says, you do what you have to do. Anyhow it was a good feeling to do something for someone who needs help so bad. Remember, character is how you treat people who can do nothing for you! And my Lori clearly has a lot as she didn’t have to take on all the extra work of organizing a baby shower!
It’s 5am and my back is a little sore from hitting the gym hard yesterday afternoon. We have lots going on as I said yesterday and need to stay in our groove.
Eleanor commented last night, glad you’re still reading! Hope you are doing well, enjoying your family and life! Good to hear from you.
Dixie is home resting well. As you can imagine, she needs a little rest. Annette went over to stay with her for a few days which is really nice. She just needs to slow down a bit. I get the staying active thing but sometimes she does too much for a woman of her young age.
Guess I’ll run, but wait, there’s good news! Hillary’s doctor says she’s ok, physically and mentally so I guess we should all just take her word for it and relax. Ha ha. So let me get this straight, here’s a campaign that’s been caught lying to us for years, avoided going to the ER the other day as they didn’t want regular doctors to have access to Hill and now we’re supposed to believe that, in the words of her doctor, she’s fit to serve. On top of that, Colin Powell’s emails were hacked and one said, and I quote,
“I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect, She’s a 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dickng bimbos at home”
WOW, nice, huh, and that’s a nice one.
And here’s one I just can’t resist, California is now taxing tampons and diapers! As one woman said, she’s glad her uterus can bear the fiscal responsibility for the State, hmmm. That’s sarcasm folks.
Remember people, no free nation has ever been conquered without first failing from within! That’s a fact, and we are well on the way to keeping that trend alive, unfortunately. God Bless.
