Mom Van nets Good all around!

Well we donated the Van to a great Program in Denver, this is the 3rd car we donated! to Step 13 real change , not spare change. that is their motto, and what a blessing all around, When we got the new vehicle we asked about a trade and the dealer was only going to give us 100$ so we said well we will give it away then and we know just who will get it. it was running and not in terible shape so they were able to sell it right away and we got 8x's what we would have from the trade. ( we can write it off on taxes!!)

great way to make a difference.

Picture above is from a year ago when we had some terrible hail storms in our area. - fair well Mom van.

Snow in Denver

I am over the snow, I am wishing for a snow day - Hh has one tomorrow with a make-up day on the 5th of april ( but we will be on our way back to Denver that day so it will be hooky for her.

Tonight it took us 3 hours to drive out of Boulder and environs and make it home with out to many detours and mishaps. welcome to spring Colorado style.

I am not looking forward to more overnight and into the morning. well off to bed with me.

Snow day - our way

The front bench with what may be about 20" on the seat it was pretty light and fluffy now.

Neighbor to the south had cool icicles

Snow angels in progress

more process on the angels. looks pretty fluffy

My guess is we won't be grilling today :) about 18 inches or so in the back yard maybe 20

Done with snow angels.

Neighbor tree

Me- glasses are photogray and change to a pretty dark shade in all this light

Yeah we shoveled.

Hh and I shoveled and draged a large fallen branch and trash cans, and made snow angels well she did - it was pretty chilly but still it was beautiful too.

We are having a very bleary day over the flatirons in Boulder Today- it looks like winter, it rained like crazy- this is the worst wetest weather I can remember in the " summertime" in a very long time. we have had more than our fair share of wet weather and rain and hail.

wishing for a bit of chilli - or soup for Dinner.

long time no blog

I am having some type of upper arm trouble- right arm, I finally gave in and went to the doc today! he took x-ray and rx'd a bit of pain meds I am hopeful to get some relief in a few days. I treated myself to a few days off the computer and the mouse and all, did some ice and heat and laid low.

we have been having severe weather. yesterday we got hail , I am posting a few photos and upload a you-tube soon. it was pretty loud and hard. Today we had tornadoes touch down in Elbert. We have friends who are at the scout camp ( working) they were safe but did get a bit of very bad weather i am sure very scarey too.

a wedding happened.....

My oldest Brother re-married his ex-spouse, their son was there as well as my immediate family and the bride's immediate family. The cousins and the mothers and dads.

It was a gorgous colorado blue sky day and the mountain golf course where we were was a truely beautiful place to have this wedding.

My flicker set on the side blog has more pictures. I will be putting together a wedding book and will post later what I have done.
