The Room



Baby G's room needed to be painted so off we went to help. Zak was on a manly man camping trip along with 2 of the dogs. Robs and I got it done while Lynn did some electrical work plus put a a chair togher for her. Kimo went with us which is not usually the case, because he is getting cranky in his old age. Molly, who stayed behind to guard Robben, and Kimo have a history together. I saved her from the side of the road, and she and Robben bonded. Kimo did try to eat Chloe, the cat, but other than that it went well. Chloes' fine.

Birthday







Lynn played hooky again for my birthday. Work has been slow as all you know. We were off on the motorcycle for the day. We rode through Decker and Salida. Stopped in Morrison, a town that was around with the Mountian Men, and had a beer in a cool little Mexican place. Ended up in Elbert, a very small town, at the Biker Bar which is a hoot to go to. Lynn made steak and Bernaise for me when we got home. He gave me 2 beautiful pairs of earrings and new car mats for Minnie Me, my 1991 Miata. It was a great day!!! (except for turning 59)

Sad

I added a new link on the blog. I have been very saddened about puppy mills and want to share it with my friends. The horrible lonely life of being in a cage until they are no longer useful. Please don't buy from a pet store. Adopt or buy from a backyard breeder.

On the Road Again!

The Pitman Posse (us, Greg, and Margot) about a week ago played hooky and took off for a motorcycle ride. The weather was great and so was the company. We explored the Beckwith ranch that is an historic site as it was built in the 1860's. Although the home, barns, and outbuildings are being restored, little has been done on the inside of the main residence. How do I know? Well Margot and I found a door that was not locked, and we went in to see if there were any ghosts. My camera forgot to come with me so there are no pictures of the spirits.

Chaco
















Lynn planned the trip to Chaco, New Mexico for May the 23rd. It's great being retired! Chaco was the hub of the Anasazi Culture. We were there 23 years ago when Robben was 2 and a half so it was time to go back now that we could hike around a lot. We spent 2 nights in the campground and the last night we went to a hotel, cause we were so dirty from the sunscreen caked with dirt. The round holes are Kivas where they gathered together for day to day activities as well as for religious ceremonies.
