Still smokey up here, and it’s not very much fun. It’s cooler this morning and that’s supposed to help the smoke dissipate over the next couple days.
Yesterday we went to lunch with Ben and Eleni and had a nice time. Later in the day we watched some football and then the Bronco game. During the game, a bird flew into our window. Sometimes this happens as we have a lot of windows and in the afternoon the reflection from the sun looks like a mirror so they can’t tell it’s a house. I told Lori who rushed outside as she’s an animal lover and saver. Within minutes she was caring for the bird and set up a spot on the patio with water and a blanket. I wasn’t sure if the little guy was going to make it as it hit the window hard. It sat up all night long with Lori checking and caring for it. Lori just went out to check on it and put it in a box, and thankfully, it flew away. Yea! That right there makes it a good morning.
Holly made it back from her family reunion in Illinois last night a little after 7, Tom texted. He reminded me that yesterday was the anniversary of Dad’s passing. I’m good with both Mom and Dad’s anniversary, birthdays and many other memorable events, but for some reason block out the anniversaries of their passing. Maybe because it’s not a pleasant memory, not sure, as I’m really good with dates. Thanks for the reminder Tom. Dad was an example of a truly great man that the World could certainly use more of these days.
Today Marty and Melanie and Davy are coming over for dinner. Ty works at 10 as he’s getting in as many hours as possible. We’re headed to the gym as soon as I’m done with today’s post.
Hard to believe it’s August 10th if you think about it. Summer is almost over. It goes much faster than winter, ha. We’re starting a slow purge of all the crap we have in our house so that by next Spring, we’re clutter free. That way, if we still decide to sell and move, things will be much easier. As of now, it looks like we’re leaving Colorado for sure. Lots of people we know are doing the same thing. You can thank the politicians in Denver. People can only tolerate so much and blue States across the Country are hemorrhaging people.
6:38 now. We woke up around 4 something but I tried to stay in bed while Lori got up. I finally got up at 6, so hopefully my sleep clock will get back on mountain time. Have a great day, be well, stay safe and take care, God Bless.
