St. Patrick's Day, Snow, etc.

Another week's gone by with St. Patrick's Day punctuating the time period. Good progress on Nana's new knee. Just got word Sam's coming to town this weekend!

Behind the scenes at DCC Theatre.
Can you guess the show?

We haven't seen many puzzles lately. Pretty busy around here.

Knee guards

One of Fina's teachers just had a baby.

Matt and Jamie had a great little St. Patrick's
Day dinner at the Club; Irish Car Bombs and all.

Oh yeah, another snow. This time wet and heavy.

Nothing like Sasquatch Cookies
for St. Paddy's Day!

Torah Time!

At the Club.

AJ made chocolate chip pancakes and smoothies for breakfast.

It's Been a While...

It's been almost two weeks since the last post here! I don't think there have been more than a couple days between posts since early 2020 (when the COVID crap started). We've all been quite busy, but since I'm the one who does these posts, just how busy have I been? Well, two weeks ago Lynn came home from a knee replacement. And that's kept me busy. Thank goodness Tracy is helping, too! Here are a few pics I grabbed over the last two weeks...

 

Our two wrestlers had a great first season.

There can be five of them playing together at one time.

It's been quite a while since Tracy's
had time for a puzzle. This was an easy
one with Broncos all over it.

Someone's art project.

From Nipomo to make the knee feel better.

Lynn's New Knee

Starting early in the week, preparations began for Lynn's knee replacement on Thursday. It's now Saturday, and we've entered the "tough part" - you know, all the pain, exercises, nausea stuff. It was amazing how they got her up and walking just hours after surgery.

Lynn's support system.

The blue equipment keeps cold water
circulating around the knee.

All set to go...

Janice came to town to help out.

And she brought Champagne Cake
from Madonna's for Tracy!

Big Horn Sheep Day at Garden of the Gods

Nana, Papa, AJ, Griffin, and David headed for the Garden of the Gods Visitor's Center today for Big Horn Sheep Day! It was quite fascinating, kept us busy for a couple hours. They had a scavenger hunt for the kids with prizes; love these for engagement. On our way back we stopped at Rocket Fizz to get a whole bunch of candy. AJ's making a video of himself tasting "weird" candy. Our last stop on the way home was Smashburger! All the day's photos are here.

Lovesong

We opened our second weekend of the run this evening at Springs Ensemble Theatre. The show is LoveSong by Robert R. Lehan. It's "a dark comedy in which two elderly people attempt to recall whether or not they have been married for 43 years. The play shows how undependable memory is and how identical experience does not guarantee identical perception" (VisitCoS.com). This play runs about 30 minutes and is followed by a solo musical performance and a second act of 4 vignettes entitled A Collection of Things We Forgot to Say by Counterweight Theatre Lab. Fina and Ethan danced in Lovesong as a dreamscape of days long ago when characters Jeanine and Sam were "very young".
