Yesterday we had a fun day. Lots of running around and cooking by Lori but a fun day, especially for Dixie. Today is the “off” day as not much going on except getting ready for the party tomorrow. Ty has been a huge help and Dix has really enjoyed his company. He usually doesn’t get to talk as much as he has as it’s usually both boys but with it just being Ty, he has the whole floor. He’s been quite engaging and talkative. More so than even when we’re home as then he’s always in his room on his computer. He’s surprised Lori and I with some of the conversations and his insight on certain things.
We bought Dixie her new tv and hooked it up but need a new cord which we’ll get today. Ty and I hit a skateboard shop and the guy running it ended up letting Ty buy his board from a blind drop in February 2020 from Santa Cruz. This means they released some skate boards in black bags and you bought one not knowing which one was inside. All were a special editions and rereleases from the 80’s which sold out nationwide in less than an hour. The kid who runs the shop is a semi-pro scooter rider and doesn’t skate board as much as he rides scooters so he let it go. They do back flips and all kinds of things in big bowls which are like huge empty swimming pools. Anyhow Ty was over the moon to get this thing. He was going to pay with his own money but I bought it for him. Then we went to In and Out Burger as they’re all the rage. We have one in Denver where people sit in line for hours to get a hamburger. It took us like 15 or 20 minutes but in the end, I don’t see what the big deal is. We like 5 Guys back home much better. Oh well, now we know.
Dr. Warren, Dixies’ friend who still a teacher in Ancient Humanities at the college came over. He reminded me of Grandma Miller as he’s traveled the World and is involved with Sons of The American Revolution similar to Daughter of The American Revolution which Grandma was the National President of for many years. He’ll be 91 in a month and still drives. He was at The Vatican for a while and almost became a Bishop, has 3 PhD’s, and is very well educated. Ty was quite impressed. He was here with us for dinner and will be here tomorrow for the party too.
I have a couple calls this morning for work and then not sure what we’ll do. Lots happening tomorrow with about 30 people coming so we’ll need to be ready. Kristin made gift boxes with a mask, hand sanitizer, and chocolates for each guest. More on the party Sunday am.
Make it a great day. The weather is nice but Ty and I both agreed, no way we could live here. Too many people and most of the place is a dump with old broken down businesses everywhere and lots of homeless. No wonder so many Californians are moving to Colorado. Don’t tell anyone from California how nice Colorado is as we don’t need any more of them! God Bless.
