A Week At Castle Rock

A bigggggggg hello to all my family and friends.  Sooooooooo sorry for neglecting y'all.  It's like I want to spend every minute with Tina and her family.  I will really try to post just a short note more often.  And you know, it has been a week.  I will do my best to catch up. 

Thursday, a day with new excitement.... we went to an armadilla race, and wait til I share with you the most fasinating outcome.  My niece Julie, was chosen as a contestant.  She is the bravest 3 year old I know.  Julie wanted to and did, pet each of them, 12 in all.  The races consisted of 3 armadillas with 3 contestants guiding their critter to the finish line.  And would you believe Julie won.  So much fun was had by all. 

Friday was a calm day.  Oh my goodness, my memory or lack of, is kicking in. 

I know Saturday, went to a car show at Palmer Lake.  It was small, but still enjoyable. 

Sunday, family day.  Monday,  de ja vu for me.  Jessie, my niece is a first grade teacher in Aurora, and Tina and I went to help her set up her classroom.  She is changing from kindergarten to first. All my teacher friends know what that means.  Torture, well almost.  That was a week ago, and bless her heart, still has boxes to unload.  And get this, 32 students, with no, that's right, no assistant.  Tomorrow will be her official first teacher workday, and like ours, meetings and workshops.  But I know somehow, Jessie will succeed. 
My mind is blank again, doggonit!  Maybe my pics will jar my memory.

My brother in law Mike, is having a 1939 chevy truck built.  So Tim goes to the builder, or upolstery guy almost every day to check out their progress and keepum on the right track. 

That's it for now.
