Home again

We drove home Gothic on Tuesday, the 29th
and on Wednesday Robyn took the attached
photograph. Clearly, we lucked out with
our 4 days of sunshine!

We stopped for lunch on the way home in
a small town on route 285. I'm blocking
the name of it at the moment. Everything
was closed except Pizza Hut so we ate
there. It took a long time, but the pizza
is always more than eatable and we had
another chance to talk about the good time
we had visiting Robyn. And how happy we
are for her that she is employed for the
winter in Antarctica. What an adventure
she'll have.

I finished unpacking on Wednesday and
stashing the food we didn't use and
doing some laundry.

On Thursday Robert drove at Tebo's and
I cleaned. I use Thursdays to clean so
I don't have to clean around Robert.

Friday morning I called NCAR to order
vouchers for our flu shots. NCAR is
providing them for retirees and spouses
at no cost to us. They were e-mailed
to us. Very nice. We'll get our
shots this week.

I went to the knit shop in Table Mesa
and was happy to see it is still there.
It has doubled in size in its 17 years
of existence and has half of it devoted
to weaver's supplies. I picked out
some washable wool yarn and a pattern;
bought some of the "modern" needles and
as soon as I finish the sweater I
started some 15 years ago...I'll start
the new project. I finished knitting
the sweater yesterday. I just have to
put it together.

At 11:30 I met Suzanne at Murphy's for
lunch. We had a good time catching up
with what each had been doing over the
summer.

In the evening we went to the Ochs'
ranch for a lovely dinner and evening
with the Ochs. We always have a good
time catching up with their doings and
sharing ours.

Saturday I went to Boulder Democratic
Headquarters for training on the new
data base system we'll be using. It
is called Vote Builder and is being
used by all precincts through out the
state. It is the software that the
Obama folks were using during the
election and since the local Dems
had a different one it caused all sorts
of overlap, duplication and worse,
errors. This looks pretty nice. It
is linked to Google Maps so we can
print out walking lists, with maps.
I haven't used it yet, but looking
forward to finding out all it can
do.
