DADS FLOWER GARDEN

.
Have you ever seen COLORADO
so green and beautiful?
.
Thanks to our abundance of rain,
and tender loving care,
DAD HAS A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER GARDEN.
.


.
The PEONIES
are the most beautiful colors.
The bushes are full, and the
flowers are awsome
.
Then there is the IRIS.
The PURPLE is my favorite, but the
YELLOW and PINK
are beautiful.
And they have the most aromatic
FRAGRANCE
.

And the CLEMATIS are lovely.
.

BE SURE TO ASK ME ABOUT THESE
.

It's a good year for FLOWERS
.
and
DADS FLOWER GARDEN
IS LOVELY

Our new sidewalk

.
Many years ago, when we moved into this house,
the sidewalk in the front was in a really bad state
of repair.
When it rained, or neighbors over watered their
lawn, we had a nice little pond out front.
.
Sometime last year we went to the Arvada Street
Maintenance and contracted with them to make repairs,
and a new cut on the driveway.
.
.
FINALLY THEY CAME.

THEY CAME WITH A DOZEN GOOD WORKERS.
.

THEY CAME WITH SEVERAL LARGE MACHINES
.

THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD SPENT THE
DAY JUST WATCHING
THEM AT WORK
.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB.
.

WE NOW HAVE A NICE SMOOTH SIDEWALK
AND NO CURB BUMP TO GO OVER IN THE
DRIVEWAY
.

Another job completed.

OUR BIG NIGHT OUT.

For QUEN'S BIRTHDAY, I decided to surprise him
with tickets to see the production of
'EVITA'
at the Arvada Center.
.
We got all set for a great night out.
Dinner and a show.
.

.
Dinner was great, but, the show was a disappointment.
I gave it about a 2 on a scale of 5
.
Guess I'm getting to be a complainer, faultfinder, or critic.
.
BUT I KNOW WHAT I LIKE.

Extended Family

These pictures are mostly for the Q. J. Hammond
Kids

I took them at Uncle Harvey's funeral.
All of his kids were there, and I thought
you would enjoy seeing how your
cousins have all grown up.
.
Mary Beth, Tom, Patty, Joe, David
and Aunt Laura
.
Al, Debbie, Char and Mike.
.


And of course,
The Two Beauty Queens
.
Could you have identified them all?
NOT A TEST!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

It was only yesterday, that I
looked out in my front yard
and saw that my Tulips were
growing like mad.
In fact I had one little Tulip plant
that was totally in bloom.
I really love the Spring when
everything seems to come
to life
.

















And then!
I woke up this morning to a
whole different scene.
.
That's Colorado.
If you don't like the
weather.
Just wait a minute.
