They'll drive us to drinkin'



Yes it is root beer and yes it is empty, but the pictures remind of us of Daddy in his college years. Some of you might say Mommy too, but since I am perfect in the eyes of my children, we'll just skip those stories! We have a fun outdoor concert series every Wednesday night and it is a good time to picnic and hang out with friends.
We have had another busy week of summer work and fun. Finally a groundbreaking at Tim's house next door. I am very excited about that. Mom and Dad closed on their beautiful piece of land in Ridgway and now the work has started. We picked out all of the colors, cabinets, carpet, doors, trim............ and their house is being built as we speak. After a few hours of back, shoulder and equipment breaking work trying to clear trees off of the homesite, the professionals were called in. In our world that meant Rob with a really cool tractor that has a mulcher/grinder attachment. He took care of business and literally saved everyone weeks of work. It looks great and we will post pictures soon. Their land is only a couple of miles from a legendary hot springs pool and we already have the family membership activated. Last Saturday, while I sold extra stuff at a neighborhood garage sale, Trevor and Colter enjoyed a new section of the Gunnison River outside of Delta. They went with a group of friends that included lots of other kiddos. Needless to say, Colter now is a water fighting machine and wants a HUGE water gun. His comment of the week (so far) came on Sunday when I asked him to get out of the truck and help me move some rocks. He laid down, closed his eyes, put up his hand and said "Just five more minutes, HONEY, I need a little nap!"- oh yeah, he even had Trevor's tone of voice on that one.
