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...

Day 123

Play time in Idaho is over; time to head home. We took a different route between Rock Springs and Idaho Falls, this time via I-15 and US 30. It was also scenic, more evenly scenic, and more civilization dots along the way. We went all the way to Rawlins, WY where we had a very fun meal at Buck's.

Largest menu ever.

There was so much stuff I didn't even notice the railroad stuff for quite a while.

Rawlins' train depot.

Tracy said it was definitely the hardest puzzle of COVID, and maybe all time.

Day 122

Well, we know one thing that went on at the Compound today... Fina got behind the wheel again! Meanwhile, Jamie and Lynn played in Idaho Falls all day. They visited the Friendship Garden, the River Walk, the Zoo, brunch at Smokin Fins, and dinner at Jalisco's. All the day's photos are here.
