Blooming

My lilies that I planted last year are in bloom. I just love lilies.

Memorial Weekend in Angel Fire, NM

We were in Angel Fire, NM with the New Mexico's Veterans Motorcycle Association for Memorial weekend. We also went to a Bike Rally in Red River. It was a weekend filled with fun, food, and most of all showing our appreciation for all those that have served our country and that are currently serving our country.

Cool Down

We did what we kept saying we needed to do. (Did that make sense?) We kept talking about insulating our attic. Last summer was miserable. The living room was always so hot. I think we spent more time in the bedroom than in the living room. We bought 40 bags of insulation. Home Depot rents the blower for free if you buy the materials from them. That is exactly what we did. We did it ourselves and saved about $400! Our very good neighbor helped too and we couldn't have done it without him.

Stuck

This past week, I was in San Antonio on a recruiting trip. The trip over there was good but the flight on the way back was long. The plane left late from SA which made me miss my connecting flight in Dallas. So what did I do past the time from 2:45pm-8:00pm? I went into the USO. A cool place for military families. The USO was a life saver. The USO has free food, movies, computers, a kiddo room, and a sleeping room. Thanks Paul for serving our country and the benefits that it has provided for our family.

I want to protect my eyes from the UV rays. You should do the same! By the way, which way to the beach?

Play hard. Sleep hard!

Nephew's First Basketball Game!

Last month, I went to Chama to see Anthony play basketball. This was the first season of basketball for the 3rd and 4th graders. Anthony is a point guard and can handle the ball pretty well for a 3rd grader. (Just like his Tia did back in the day!) Look for #34!

"What do you mean I have to sleep on the floor from now on?" That is what Gordies would say if she could talk. The other night, Gordies got sick and threw up on Paul's side of the bed. Gross, I know. So we decided that it was time for her to get her own bed. She won't sleep anywhere without her blanket so I put her blanket on the floor. She did pretty good the first two nights. Then we went and purchased a dog bed for her. Check her out with her new bed. We just got it today so we will see how she does tonight! Wish us luck!
