What has been happening in July?

Well, July 3 was a blowout! Great family fireworks with the Gillespie boys lighting some big ones. Loud and high they flew! We thought we had invited enough neighbors but maybe not. Our sound and celebration brought us to the attention of the fire department. But the reasoned talk and grey hairs on the head Gillespie saved us. We celebrated our countries freedom with joy and laughter and a big bucket of water for safety.

July 4, after a traditional barbecue in the backyard, we all trouped off to Overlook Park to watch the Kiwanis show. It was another fireworks celebration. Ken, Parker, Crista and John joined us, Joanna had to work that day, but we met her at Overlook to join us in the fun.

The next morning Milt and I drove up to Vail for a relaxing week of concerts, hikes, dinners out, and a visit from Lanelle and Bobby. This doesn't sound relaxing, but it was. The weather was very good, the flowers and music very beautiful and we enjoyed meeting Bobby, a nice young man. Lanelle was looking very pretty and they had an enjoyable few days with us, as did we with them.

We bought a new HDTV, Milt set it up and the Direct TV guy got us connected to satellite. The rest of the month has just been nice summer days, me hiking with my group, Milt bulldozing at the ski area, time with friends at church and quilting. We look forward to a quiet August at home. Here are some pictures of July, home, hikes etc.
