Hi friends,
I'm home from Colorado, and grateful that the weather has been about 25+ degrees cooler here in Dallas than when we left. Our grass looks like it's starting to grow back, and it's really not horrible to walk outside. It's been raining all week, which I love. Except we're still working on our bathroom-laundry-room-project, and our clothes dryer is not yet connected. It has not been much of a problem, because it is so warm here, I hang the clothes on a line outside and they dry faster than they would inside in the dryer. No bueno=all our clothes from Colorado smell like a campfire and are in piles waiting to be washed. I attempted it today, when the sky was deceptively sunny and nearly cloudless, but 20 minutes later I heard the rain and had to dash out to rip everything off the line. Most of the furniture in our house is now draped with jeans or a t-shirt.
The bathroom project is coming along though...Good news: we finally got all three of our green slips, meaning we passed inspections! We can put up the sheetrock! We'll have to still get final inspections, but at least now we can work again.
Since it's been awhile since I blogged, there's a lot to catch up on! I've been meaning to post Colorado pictures, talk about my feelings about going back to school next week, (really? already? and what am I gonna do afterwards since this is my last semester? Can I survive Texas without being a student?), discuss my next projects (Stole #3!), and everything else that's been on my mind. Maybe some of those things will surface in later blogs, but priorities first--here are a sample of pictures from Colorado!
Hello. Beautiful. Wish you were here.
Me and Hugo, my nephew.
Home Sweet Home
Ricardo the terrific climber.

Dunking my head in a waterfall to cool off.
We climbed up a waterfall/river. Forever.
Watching the fog/rain/snow come in.
Rainbow after (and during) the storm.
View from the top!
We made it!
A flock (herd? gaggle?) of Mule Deer.
This was a cool hike.
Elk! (I thought it was Caribou, which is more fun to say. But it wasn't one.)
I brought my non-digital camera too, so about half of the pictures I took (especially the ones of the MOOSE) still need to be developed. I feel much better having caught up with one thing on my never-ending To-Do List. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the update...I enjoyed re-living the experience on my blog.
