Day 130

Other than a run home to get a couple items, it was a perfect stay-cation day.

Aunt Vickie hard at work dog sitting.

The Lazy River.

The line up the stairs to the big slide.

Oh garcon...

To the new rooms...

From the new room.

Oh my... AJ's baseball pics have arrived.

Day 129

Big day! First, we celebrate Fina's birthday. Second, we go back to "live" services with TimberCreek Church. And third, we head out to the Gaylord Rockies Resort for several days of stay-cation (near the Denver airport).

More TimberCreek photos from today.

The youngest group met in the DCC Canyon (outside).

Fueling at Starbucks for the long haul to the Gaylord.

The boys were quite impressed with the Gaylord. (Me, too.)

Setting up shop right away in the room.

The "Lazy River."

Aunt Vickie made it back from Breckenridge.
She's doing doggy sitting for the next few days.

Day 128

Off to the pool for the 9-noon shift! Jamie stayed behind to do his Parlor Car Chat for the day: SMV #205. Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and Stuber for the night's movie.

Did you spot him?

Prepping for the trip to the Gaylord.

Day 127

Fina's driving school day! MasterDrive. She ran over a few cones today, but had a great time and said she learned a lot. There was a fair amount of prep going on for this Sunday's re-opening of TimberCreek Church at DCC. We had pool time from 5-8pm during which it mostly rained. But, it was warm enough and light enough rain it didn't hold us back much. Masks are back in style per a Governor's mandate. And speaking of, I got notice today that the Flying Horse Foundation groups will not meet for two weeks because of an exposure.

He's pretty cute, trust us.

Off to MasterDrive.

The cones were never in any real danger. Mostly.

Sunday School prep.

Day 126

Apparently all I got photos of today was AJ's baseball game. It was raining when we arrived at the field, but gradually got lighter and lighter. They got the whole game in. It was a heavy car maintenance day. One got a major service done and all three got baths. Oh, and Matt gave blood for the first time since his youth. And didn't pass out (unlike that first time). Nana and Papa watched Spanglish.

AJ is yellow shirt #2.

On to second.

He scored.

AJ loves catching.

High fives are out, cap wave and bow are in. Yellow won by one.

Day 125

Almost a normal day. Jamie and Lynn are back from Idaho and Vickie is here on her way to Breckenridge. Matt whipped up some pork and asparagus to go with the homemade cheddar bay biscuits. As some of us went to bed, others were still watching NUMB3RS.

Up-cycling.

Day 124

Jamie and Lynn completed their journey home from Idaho, but not before stopping for lunch at Scileppi's in Castle Rock. "Communion" is a drink they have: Hendrick's gin, elderflower liquor, lime juice, basil, and soda water. Love the creamy carbonara, too. Got home to find Aunt Vickie there. She's on her way to join up with some friends in Breckenridge, getting acclimated to the altitude here first.

Scileppi's is in the old stone church (1888).

 

Sunday School stuff is arriving.

Lexi's art area is out of control.

Sending a pic to Rob. Bacon! Lexi asked where Aunt Vickie's grandfather was.

Baked potato smorgasbord.

On to the next puzzle...
