Friday, November 5 - Busy Day

 

Last night as planned Colt arrived with all his baggage around 9pm. Beth gave me my instructions and they were gone.

We had to set the alarm this morning, because Colt needed to be at school by 7:50am. We got him up and dressed teeth brushed and breakfast eaten and we were off.

After dropping him off we went to the doctors office to get orders for my blood work. The lab is in the same building so I went right there.

I was in and out in minutes. Then Jesse and I went to breakfast...were else but Crackle Barrel.

Then we went to make an appointment for the boys with the groomer before we leave Pueblo.

Our next stop was to visit the guys I used to work with. We sat talking with them for quite some time getting caught up on all the happenings.

We went home to walk the boys, then on to Walmart for a few things.....We had just enough time to unload our purchases before heading off to pick up Colt from school.

As you can see, all this running around just wore Grampy out.

After his nap Jesse, Colt and the boys went for a walk and found the playground (per Jesse it was not to swift). Colt was happy have something to play on. Then he wanted to play with the football, so while I made dinner they were outside.

Colt wanted macaroni and cheese and hot dogs, so that's what I made.

After dinner we let Colt watch some cartoons in the living room, then when Medium came on we moved him to the bedroom TV.

Our other grandson Gage is also coming over to spend the weekend with us, so Colt thinks every sound he hears, he thinks it's Gage.

I am going for the night and will write again tomorrow.

Thursday, November 4 - Three Day Recap

 

Tuesday

I didn't leave the RV today.

Jesse was up at gone by 7:45am. He made an appointment to have the truck serviced. He had it lubed, the fluids changed; oil, transmission, front and rear differential, and all filters changed.

He was back by 9am. The Dodge place has car service so they brought him home.

He was outside for the rest of the morning, but I have no idea what he was doing.  

I straightened up inside and prepared lunch.

Beth came over on her lunch break and had lunch with us. I made a grilled chicken salad for us. It was nice to have some special time with her without kids interrupting.

After she left I cleaned up the kitchen and did another load of laundry.

Dodge called to say the truck was ready and they picked him up shortly afterwards. While he was gone I started to prepare dinner. Sheppard's pie with ground turkey. It was Yummy.

Wednesday

We sat around most of the morning, then we went to Lowe's.

Jesse has been trying to decide whether to purchase the items needed to wrap the water so he doesn't have to disconnect each night. The cost was about $50-60. Rather then spend the money he decided to just continued to disconnect each night.

Then we were off to the dentist office. I need some dental work done. I was in the office for 2 hours and Jesse was very patient waiting for me.

Afterwards we returned home, had leftovers for dinner, and watched TV until bedtime.

Thursday

This morning we were on line trying to decide which campground to stay at while we are in Las Vegas.  We still have not decided. If anyone has any ideas let us know.

I did some organization to our bedroom closet trying to find the best way to store our shoes. I made us lunch and then got cleaned up to go out.

We went to Target to see what they had for pillows. Still looking for pillows for the living room sofa. While there we purchased two different shoe storage racks to try.

Then we had to stop by Morgan Stanley (our investment company) for Jesse to sign some papers.

Back home I defrosted some taco soup for dinner.

Colt will be arriving later. He will be with us for 10 days while his parents are hunting.

Have a good evening everyone...Hugs

Monday, November 1 - Dish and Summer 2011

Today started as normal. We had our coffee while watching the Today Show and computering.

We had an expected visitor about 10am. The Dish installer. Jesse has decided to change to Dish because we get free DVR's. If we were to stay with Direct TV it would have cost us about $400.

The guy was very nice and seemed very knowledgeable. We now have one box connected to the living room TV and the DVR controls both TVs. The one in the bedroom is wireless. The whole system seems to me to be much better then Direct.

We have High Definition on both TV's, and I love the DVR's. I think I am going to LOVE this new system. I see no wires and everything looks neat.

The guy was here about 2 hours, and as soon as he left we got cleaned up to headed to Mountaindale.

The campground is about 40 minutes from Pueblo West going West on US 50, then north on Rt 115 to Mountaindale.

We met with the owner David for about an hour, taking about duties, hours, dress code, start date, and end date. Then we toured the campground to picked out which site we wanted. We decided on site 76.

We are really excited about the new job for summer 2011. We will be working with Jackie and Tony Albasini and Ed and Marilyn Dray will also be staying there for the summer AND we will be close to our children and Grandchildren !!!!

We are going to have a GREAT summer.

By the time we returned home it was 5:30, so Jesse went around the corner to pick us up a pizza.

We watched TV for the rest of the evening.
