Day 418

Sorry, only one pic today, thanks to Lynn. Lots of medical and therapist appointments. Horse PT for David (last session for the time being). Lexi tennis. AJ baseball. Torah Time at the firepit. Fina went to a DCC concert this evening. Really good salad at lunch with leftover steak, greens (including arugula), cherry tomatoes, and avocado. And breakfast for dinner (eggs and sausage) is always a hit with everyone.

Freshly groomed dogs...

Day 417

The Colorado mask mandate was to have lifted today. Rather, it got extended to June something. Not unlike mandates everywhere getting extended, like TSA mask requirements into September. It's now 417 days to flatten the curve in two weeks. Before school, AJ checked out his petri dish from the chemistry experiments we did a couple weeks ago ("let dry 2 weeks"); see the first pic below. Snow! We probably got over 3 inches but it went away fairly quickly - and did not stop Jamie from getting some fireside time. Lynn's friend, Marie, came over to help with knitting and puzzling. Tracy made substantial progress on her puzzle, too. Matt whipped up a great steak dinner with Brussels and broccoli. Nana and Papa took Fina to her Sound of Music rehearsal at the Ballet Society's Falcon location. Since we were "way out there" for 1.5 hours, we looked for a hangout - and found one! Frankie's, Too. Served our needs perfectly!

Day 416

Off to church! Then to Vaqueros for lunch with a Fina dropoff at theater rehearsal on the way. It's blocking day. After church the weather went north on us, so activities were limited to indoors. Jamie's reworked his approach to offering Torah talks, and he's calling it "Torah Talks." Check it out: TorahTalks.info.

2nd or 3rd walkable Sunday in a row!

A color a day, that's all we ask.

Day 415

Nana's learning to knit! A 9am baseball game was first on the agenda. Then lunch and a trip to the pool for the kids. Jamie went to the world's worst board meeting in Castle Rock (took 3 hours to do 30 minutes of work). Nana and Papa ran up to Bistro on 2nd for dinner - always great! And Papa had a cigar with his Prager Torah studies, after sunset ended Shabbat, of course. Torah study is great for Shabbat, but not the fire to light the cigar.

Lexi made friends at the baseball game.

Day 414

I guess I got but one photo today - of Lynn's quilt puzzle. Her quote of the day, "It's a lot easier than actual quilting!"

Day 413

Sushi Ato for lunch with Matt, Nana, and Papa! Otherwise a pretty normal school, doctor, therapy, feeding tube day. One very odd thing... Lynn started a puzzle! Could be a first.

Day 412

AJ and Papa continued the Wingspan game. AJ's computer arrived. Nana and David continued on with geometry. Lexi and Jonnie had their swimming lesson.
