Only a couple photos today, sorry. Nana, Papa, and Matt ended up at the Club for lunch, but not together. Nana was with her book club in the rotunda and the boys were in the Tack Room. Papa took Matteo fishing after school. He got a couple nibbles, but the big excitement was we saw another fisherman's mammoth catch, a 30-inch pike. Very impressive. AJ went to dance class. Nana and Papa's movie for the night: Just Like Heaven.
First thing this morning we got the wedding gift quilt top to the quilter for quilting and binding by the weekend, with any luck. Otherwise a pretty normal Tuesday. All the kids are at school. Fina's online studies continue (with some cohorts joining her here at the house). Jamie did the Joseph session of his God is Good course.

Golf Tournament! Matt and Jamie headed out about 7am to meet up with a couple other guys from TimberCreek Church to make up our foresome for the Evangelical Christian Academy's 14th Annual Eagle Golf Classic (Matteo's school this year) at Colorado Springs Country Club. It could not have been more fun on a more gorgeous day. It's been about 5 years (or more) since we've played golf. And had a great time! Nana (and Papa a little for the geometry) finished up a wedding gift quilt top which will be off to the quilters first thing in the morning. Jamie scouted out Garden of the Gods for late afternoon wedding sites. "High Point" was his favorite. It's the same spot Tracy arranged for family photos to be taken a couple years ago. Fina finally got back to dance classes tonight following her surgery a couple weeks ago.

Besides completing the TP puzzle, the big event of the day was full-up Sunday School at TimberCreek Church! All classes are up and running! And ice cream around. Actually ice cream for the whole church after service, too - rumors spread much faster than the virus. Vaqueros for lunch with the celebratory grande margaritas. Matteo's group met at Wesley Owens Coffee in Monument in the evening, with quite a substantial showing.

Matt took the kids fishing this morning while Jamie did his Parlor Car Chat on the topic of the Cumbres and Toltec Geology Special that he and Matteo took in June of 2019. The twins had their first soccer game this afternoon. The grin on those boys... Nana and Papa took AJ on a library and Barnes and Noble run followed by Mod Pizza for dinner.

First order of the day for Lynn and Jamie was to visit three of the homes on the Parade of Homes (which opened today and will run about 2 weeks). All the kids were in school today, except Fina who's doing a totally online thing. Sasquatch Cookies teamed up with a cupcake company (Icing on the Cake) for their special offering today! The baby is doing pretty well at sitting up by himself these days. Crash and burns are considerably less often. More Fall decorations are popping up. Jamie discovered two new horses have arrived at Flying Horse Ranch. Big ones. Two dappled draft horses that will eventually pull carriages and such for the Event Center. About 2100 pounds a piece, and they need to gain a little weight and muscle. And the big happening of the day - dinner at Cowboy Star!
Another light photo day. The puppies got groomed today. They don't like the car ride much more than Sandy does. The TP puzzle remains puzzling. Something of a chill day, both energy wise and temperature wise. Mt Fuji for dinner (drunken noodles!). Tonight's movie: A Princess for Christmas; Hallmark, of course.
