\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>This morning we’re starting on Ty’s closet. I put together Jag’s room yesterday and am almost done. Early in the morning I took off for the two hour drive to Ty’s camp which is west of Bailey to drop his care package. Today he gets back from his 5 day expedition and I’m sure will be happy to get a box of goodies. He and his group have been backpacking and sleeping outdoors for 5 days! That may not seem like much but just think of 5 days without a bathroom, shower, kitchen, bed and all the other things we take for granted, plus the only clothes you have are what you’ve carried on your back. Lori says she couldn’t do the no bathroom thing for 5 days.<\/p>\n

In his care package is a pillow (he forgot his), 12 mini Gatorades, 15 candy bars which is enough to share with his group, a bag of Kettle Corn, a bag of Cheetos’s, some Goldfish, beef jerky, some Sour Patch Kids (candy he likes) a mini bottle of mouthwash, some breath mints and a few other things, plus a letter from his Mom and I. It’s the same principal as when in the 1940’s, people back home here would send care packages to our troops in World War II. It’s the first time in his life, and ours, that he’s had no contact with us for 2 weeks straight. No phone calls, no emails, no text, nothing. We pick him up a week from today so he still has a lot of camp left. We miss both boys a lot.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Jag is having fun on the east coast. His friends Mom rented a house on Virginia Beach where they’ve been for the past few days. He lands in Denver tomorrow night around 6 pm and should be home by 8 or so. I took the boys to the airport last week so Zach’s dad is picking them up.<\/p>\n

Lori is going on a hike with a girlfriend from work this morning while I go to the gym. She’s upstairs now working on Ty’s dresser.<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, Happy Birthday to Ali! It was yesterday and we tried to call her on her cell but there was no answer. We have a present for you and will get it to you next week. She sure has a lot of friends as she had tons of birthday wishes on Facebook. I’m not a Facebook guy but had to sign up for a big Bocelli promo we’re doing. It’s an alternative reality, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Have a great day and great weekend. Take care and God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
