Lunch in the gardens
On Monday, Steve came and washed all the windows,
inside and out. They look wonderful! It is such a pleasure,
each year to have that done. A real luxury that I enjoy
tremendously.
Tuesday I had my annual physical exam. I seem to be doing fine.
I certainly have no complaints and feel very lucky to feel so
well.
Tuesday evening Connie, Meara and Alan showed up. They are
movinganother car to Kansas. They close on the Wichita house
on Thursday, then will move the furniture from Greg's Condo to
the new house and all will stay in the new house.
Wednesday evening we had book club at Heather's house.
Thursday I had a test for bone density and ran errands.
Friday I picked up Ariel and she spent the day with us. We
walked up to the schoolhouse and both swung on the swings for
a while. She made some interesting drawings using chalk on
the back patio. In the afternoon we went to the Erie
Rec center where she went swimming for an hour and a half until
it was time to take her home
Saturday the Salina Ladies' book club took a field trip to the
Denver Botanical Gardens. We all met in our barn yard and I
had a cooler ready for our lunches. Allison drove her mini
van. It was a hot day, but the gardens were in full glory. We
had a lovely time and had our lunch in a shady spot as shown
in the picture.
Today our tenants who live in the Longmont house came for a
picnic lunch. Teri's boy friend helped her buy a van so that
Jesse can get himself in/out of the van in his electric wheel
chair. It is a big help to Teri. The old van had ramps,
each of which weighed about 50 pounds and had to be taken
in and out by hand. Not an easy chore for a small woman.
We had a pleasant lunch with everyone lending a hand which
made things go smoothly. Teri's boy friend is a retired Navy
mechanic and has just taken a voluntary severance package
from Roche Pharmaceuticals and is looking to relocate to
Arizona. He and Teri are engaged. I'm delighted for Teri.
He seems to be a very fine young man and is very good with
her kids and seems very kind. They have been going together
for more than a year so I feel comfortable that it'll be a
good marriage for both. But, of course, I'm sad because we
are going to lose her as a tenant some time in the near future.
On the world front the Saudis have promised to pump more oil
which we hope will bring down the price somewhat. It's
currently almost $140/barrel and is $4.00/gal at the gas pump.
In Zimbabwe the situation looks impossible for a real election.
Mugabe has promised that he'll not leave office. A typhoon in
the Philippines, terrible floods in the mid-west, and more
floods in China. The weather has really been chaotic this
year so far. We feel lucky to have missed anything terrible
here so far.
Tuesday we leave for Crested Butte and to Gothic to visit Robyn.
