Relief At Last!

It was a cooler 4th of July, by cooler I mean high 80's. I enjoyed the hospitality of Marc's sister Yolanda and her fiancee Carlos . We picnicked and watched fireworks, we even sang the national anthem. How patriotic can you get? The kids were all excited, along with Zeyda, waiting for night to fall and the fireworks to begin.





The fireworks did not disappoint us and the family enjoyed front row seats in the drive way.

Saturday I rode to Denver with Linda while she shopped for a new car. We spent the afternoon in shark invested waters at the Groove Toyota dealership. Linda prevailed and got a deal of a lifetime on a new 2012 Camry with the works! However the trade in was not adequate, so I got to drive her Honda back home. I was glad I could finally help repay her with all the driving around she did for me.

Early Sunday morning I was surprised to wake up with rain coming through my bedroom windows. I got up and closed the windows and unplugged the computer due to the lighting . The next day I went out to the rain gauge and received such a shock. I had never seen it read 3.25 inches before. Yippy, my rain dance worked and the heavens opened up! I must have a little more pull up there because Alliance only got an inch :)

Today is a day that our family is celebrating even though Brian isn't here with us. It would have been Brian's 60th birthday today. However, we are celebrating the fact that we were able to be touched by such a wonderful father, husband, and man. Yes, we miss him very much, but he has given us so many wonderful memories to enjoy over our lifetimes! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!
