I'm baaaack

Took some time to spend the 4th in Denver with our daughter, son, and daughter-in law (now known as the D-I-L). Son-in-Law (S-I-L) Eric had to work as a pilot over the weekend. We made a trip to Cheyenne on Saturday to visit their grandmother. It really made her day.
Saturday night the rains stopped at game time and we watched the Rockies lose to the Diamondbacks. We did, however, have the best seats in the house in the third deck on the first base side for the fireworks. We had a great unobstructed view of the show. This was part of my Father's Day gift and so we actually ordered the seat location for the display rather than the game. It was a fireworks crowd with lots of little kids who grew restless by the seventh inning and had to made several trips to the concessions and restroom. So did the rest of us-just not as often. The seats were so high that at a non-fireworks game, people in the Federal Witness Protection Program are located there as no one could find them that high and far away from the plate. Actually there were good seats for the game.
Saturday afternoon we learned they had had a terrific rainstorm with considerable water damage in Casper so I called a couple neighbors to see if there had been any flooding in the hood. They thought our house was fine and when we got back last night, everything was dry.
A great weekend.
