Riding home from Moab to Salt Lake with Elijah was something like this.
Just ask His Uncle Eric and Aunt Juanita

RAIN

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade.

Tonight was the second night of rain, it been really refreshing..

A Child cries out

This the face of a pleading Child, standing in the rain asking Her Mother....
" Mother, Can I stay 10 more days at Nana's and Papa's

Please!!!

Harry Potter

Nothing new this week, except that we have Sophia
And Jacob with us for a few weeks.

And of course there's Harry Potter..
Guess who went tonight and got the book ?
And upon arrival and purchase, went straight home and comenced to reading.

Happy Birthday Juan

Lucas, climbed this

Yes Lucas came home last Wednesday, and we are very glad that He came home safe and sound. And just like many travelers, He is ready to go back and spend 3 months in Chile. I'm afraid if He spends that much time there, we may have to come and visit and see how He's doing?

Coming Home

Nothing new this week, I took most of the week off and and enjoyed myself with sleeping in late.
I did manage to get three runs in this week, keeping fit you know.


And this is where the Matadora has been sleeping the last month, Lazy damn dog.
The dog will not get up to eat in the morning, just stays in bed until Gabrielle gets up.
Lucas you need to correct this ASAP!

Luke is coming next week from Chile, so I thought I would check to make sure His phoned worked.
When Lucas left last month and I mean as soon as He went out the door His Mother washed the phone? I removed the battery and let it dry out. It seems to be working..

Innocent ?

Katie took this and sent this with the caption Help us..






Elijah 4 1/2 months
Gabriel 2 1/2 weeks

The Week

Not much happend this week, just work and such. My truck developed some problems, so I need to take in for repair. And the refrigerature failed on us, we lost everything in the fridge.
we have nothing in the freezer, just some vegetables and beer.

Saturday we did manage to go to the Arts Festival in downtown Salt Lake.
That was nice but it was a hot day, the forecast was for 103 temperature, I don't really know if it got that hot.

Elijah and Nana, napping on the front yard

We left Friday afternoon and came back home Sunday afternoon. Before leaving we stopped at Katies and this who was waiting at the porch for us

This is who we found in Colorado..
