Colorado July 19 - 28

We are back in the City and are taking long walks with Hunter (he is doing just fine; the leg doesn't seem to bother him and he has been so good in that he hasn't even tried to chew off the bandage) where we see and walk past deer. We bought new dishes for the trailer, went to Boulder and walked the Pearl Street Mall and drank rhubarb infused tequila margaritas - yum!, took scenic drives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, enjoy the afternoon thunderstorms, and sit for long periods at Shelly's dads Koi pond.We are also getting our fill of Colorado style Mexican food; green chile with actual green chiles in it and not tomatillos and chile rellanos (a whole green chile stuffed with cheese then wrapped in a egg roll wrapper, deep fried and smothered with green chile sauce).

We drove to Cheyenne, WY for Cheyenne Frontier Days to see a huge rodeo event and Blake Shelton and Kelly Pickler in concert. During the rodeo event it poured rain and it was funny to see the steer wrestling event where the cowboys got drug through the mud almost like they were waterskiing across it.

Hunter got his stitches out on the 28th and he did great. He has the cut bandaged as he does keep licking it and it now needs to scab up to heal. Him and Magen continue to play hard so it must not be bothering him too much.

We are beginning the clean up process and it will be long and difficult. But everyone (even those who lost everything and we mean EVERYTHING) are in good spirits. This is the bridge that we walk over every morning with Hunter. This is in the Ranchitos just a few blocks from where we live. We are part of a group who are spearheading getting relief aid to those areas hit the hardest. These areas had a wall of water over 10' high go through their communities resulting in several feet of mud being distributed into their modest homes. The loss of their mattresses, all furniture, clothing, linens, food, etc. In addition these areas do not have drinking water easily available. They are resorting to collecting water from the still flowing creeks that more than likely have dead animals in them contaminating the water....but what other options do they have? NONE. This is an old folks home where the residents had to climb a rickety ladder and spend the night on the roof to escape the rushing

Feels Like Summer

The day time temps have been in the 90s this week with the lows getting only into the 60s. It makes for a beautiful day to take out a friend's yacht and spot Finback whales. If this is a preview of temps this summer, we are in big (and we mean brutally hot but tons of fun) trouble.
