I know it is hard to see how high it is from the pictures but if you can imagine a bank of at least 3 ft drop then you can see it is up. We have been in Colorado every summer for the last 11 years. I have never seen the water this high.
Yesterday was my doctors check up. VA takes care of their disabled vets. We get check ups about every six months. Yesterday was my day. I will not know if I am living until next week…

We drove west to see how the river looked while crisscrossing the river in several place I found some interesting sites that were worthy a picture or two who knows they may show up on a canvas in my studio…

After checking out the Jeeps we headed to the car wash to knock off all the grime on the truck. Then we headed…where else…WALLY WORLD! Had to buy some STUFF you know how that goes
Then it was time to head to Safeway to buy more STUFF followed by the trip home to put up the STUFF. I did have time to walk down to the river…by the way is almost out of its banks Tossed a line in to see if I could get a bite the river is running so fast I could not keep my bate under water! I know it will go down…

Have a great time little buddy Mom and Dad love you so much. This will be a great memory forever…

Once again we had a little snow last night. The River behind us is almost out of its banks. We still have below freezing nights and that has saved us from an even more rapid melt.
No doubt the excessive snow fall has helped the Valley meet its water requirements. We should have a great growing season…

Now I don’t have to ride along everywhere he wants to go. He will be paying for his insurance so that means a J O B. We will see how that works out…

| The classic downtown view I dodged jury duty and thought I might sneak in a nap but everyone gained up on me and talked me into going shopping in Creede! Not my favorite pastime but I was out numbered. So I agreed to go but I stayed close to the truck because it started to snow! They do have some great sporting good stores but I have just about all they sell. I did take some pictures for future artwork. I long to return to my studio and paint but that will come Somewhere in Time |

Well it is time to get everything ready for the warmer temps. We have to take our underpinning off by the 20 of this month. We spent yesterday changing out the anodes on the water heaters. I see that we will have to do this more often. Ours were really in need of changing.
The wind is really blowing today so we will have to wait for a calmer day to pull the underpinning down. Just a note…posting on my phone changed underpinning to underpants! Now that would have really confused my readers!
We are heading to Monte today to get our storage building ready for some of our winter things. We change out season to season so we are not overloaded with STUFF.
I really look forward to the warm months ahead. I will get my fishing license renewed while in town. I am turning over a new leaf this year…I will be doing me some fishing every chance I get…
