House on Hackamore Dr

We have been busy working on getting the house on the market. I hope that we can get an offer soon. It is very hard on Alex to have to prepare for a showing and get Shiloh and leave in one hour. That is how much notice the realitors give when there is a showing.  We will see.

Denny's Recovering From Dog Bite

My grandson Denny is recovering from a dog bite. This is the second time that he has been bitten by that dog. He may have been agitating the dog, but the dog is pretty aggressive anyway.  Becky took him to the ER and he has 4 stitches.  The dog now has to be euthanized (Colorado state law).  I was pretty upset when Becky called and told me about it.  Then she Text me a picture, and that made me feel better, because she told me that it was close to his eye.  The dog belongs to Denny’s grandmother (my ex).  I’m sorry that this has happened, but I also feel that, like people, if they are a threat to the safety and security of others, something must be done.  If you cannot train them to conform, then there is no choice.

Becky's Baptism

Becky is 4th row with a braid and black dress





My youngest daughter got baptised on June 11, 2011, in Loveland Colorado. I flew to Colorado for that event in Alex stayed home. Becky lives with my ex, and I stayed with my oldest son Louis Jr.  Louis and I went to my property in Southern Colorado on Friday and when I opened the door, there was a rattlesnake guarding the door.  The fact that we wanted to get past without any issues, was to his demise.  The picture is just after we removed his head with a .22.  I found that the outside hydrant was not working and that the water came through an overflow.  I will have to repair or replace it the next time I go.  On the road leaving I took a picture of a few Pronghorn that were grazing what was available.  It has been very dry in the southern part of the state. Part of the southwestern drought I guess.   In Loveland, about 200 miles north it was very green.  Brahm and Daggs took me to a special event that was at Centennial Airport, where they were displaying a B-17 bomber.  They had a dance, served spam sandwiches, wine and beer. People were dressed in 40's attire, and it was great fun.

We also spent a couple of days in Charleston, SC.  We stayed at the Indigo Inn. They allow dogs.  Great court yard with wine and cheese from 5-6:30pm every day.  We definitely took advantage of that. We went to The Charleston Tea Garden and then to the Firefly distillery.  They buy tea from the Tea Garden and make great Ice Tea Vodkas. We ended up bringing back 8 bottles.
