well, my trusty lap top bit the dust for good last night. Our wonderful IT guy worked on it, remotely, all day and night and couldn't fix the problem, so its on its way back to him in New York (LeRoy, New York that is. John works at our old Company, we have a long history with him!).
Luckily we have an ipad so this is coming to you from Dave's device. I rarely use it, so there is a bit of a learning curve for me. I'll work on figuring out loading pictures later.
Some people (you know who you are....) have hinted that we may have dragged the nasty weather patterns along with us to Colorado, I'm beginning to think we did. It has been cool, cloudy, windy and sometimes torrentially rainy ever since we arrived, hmmmmm. Yesterday it rained so hard, all day, that we couldn't even see the mountains that surround us. We stayed inside Beluga and read. The dogs remembered our old trick of "getting busy" outside at the end of a flexi-leash held by one of us sitting inside on the passenger seat! Such good dogs. That way the only ones to get soaked are them!
Sunday Erin and Jesse came over for dinner and on Monday Dave and I met Jesse for lunch at one of his fav. taco restaurants, Comida (Erin was at work). It is downtown in a fantastic, repurposed old brick foundry that also houses another restaurant, a florist, wine shop, bakery, specialty food shop, bar (serving some extremely unusual beers), etc.
That pretty much brings you up to date. I'll work on getting some pictures on this machine later today.
You know in 2.5 years on the road we've never had multiple days of rain...till now! Colorado Springs locals say this is unusual for May. I think you may be getting even more rain than we are. I hope it clears up enough by the time we leave so we can actually see Pikes Peak!
ReplyDeleteOh well, it makes everything nice and green and hopefully creates lots of flowers too!
Uh, I think California could use you and those weather patterns of rain
ReplyDeleteWe are having identical weather in Utah. We even had snow mixed in with the rain today. I can't believe we have the same forecast til Sunday!! This is really getting old. I can't imagine who would think you brought this weather with you:)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the laptop and I need you to come train MY dogs to do that!!! LOL I'm picturing the indignity on Lewis's face having to go in the rain BY HIMSELF! Don't complain about the rain, they (and we) need it so desperately.
ReplyDeleteWe even have rain in our forecast (we'll see) for tonight so it might not be you guys - might not. I told Tessa about the dog-only business in the rain. If dogs could roll their eyes...... :-) We will probably be the ones holding the umbrella over her highness. Glad you're still getting family time with the wanky weather.
