-{longmontfreecycle}- Wanted: Coats for Elementary Aged Kids
This broke my heart. In the cold of Colorado, no child should be coatless. If you are in the Longmont area, I've arranged with Melissa to consolidate coats for pick up from my house. Any winter items are gratefully accepted, coats, hats, gloves, scarves.
I'll be at Buzz Coffee this evening, 1139 Francis St, Longmont CO 80501. Drop your items to me from 6pm to 7pm and I'll make sure they get to Melissa. ———- Forwarded message ———-From: Melissa

A boy in my son's kindergarten class had no winter coat this a.m. when it was 17 degrees out. I heard him telling his mom he was cold. He only had a sweater on. I know there are some other older kids in school showing up with no winter coats, either. This elementary school has 30% free lunch students, these families may not have any money for coats so if you have any sizes of kids coats, size 5 on up, I will pick up and donate to my elementary school asap! Thanks so much!

Emerson Burying a bone
I took this video of my dog burying her bone. This is her first winter and I don’t think she understands that snow melts.

Happy Veterans Day
So Greg & I went to Applebee's today for lunch. They are having a special for all Veterans. When we arrived it was seemingly packed, but we secured a place at the bar. We placed our order and watched as the staff greeted, served, and bussed table after table. As we looked around the restaurant there were Veterans of all ages. Some Actively serving and others obviously retired and still others, like us, who served some and then were onto other careers. We watched as a WWII vet came in assisted by an Active duty Army Soldier and some were applauding. We chatted with a guy who served in the Navy in Korea and one that served in Viet Nam & Europe in the Army Artillery.
I found it interesting that you can get a group of people together that do not know each other and watch as they begin to chat, with only one thing in common, having been or being a US Service Man/Woman. Those that serve have a bond that just can't be shared with any other group. It doesn't matter which Service someone was in, that bond that comes from being a Freedom Fighter crosses all branches and unites us. You could not look around that restaurant without a feeling of such pride and camaraderie. You have to give it up to Applebee's for opening their doors and extending such a great Thanks to each and every Vet. May God bless each and every one of them.Nov

The weather changes
OK, so last week it was freezing butt cold, the metal in my leg ached and this week it’s almost tropical. Yes, almost. It got to 80 yesterday. A change in temps of about 60 degrees.
My head is spinning from the change. I guess it’s true what they say about Colorado. Don’t like the weather, just wait ten minutes and it’ll be different.
I have to say though that the sunshine is extremely welcome. I was concerned that we would come up here and miss the sun, but even when it was freezing butt cold the sun made it bearable.
I enjoy going out in the sun, lifting my face and having those rays just hit my face. What a great way to get energized.
So next week it’s supposed to be freezing butt cold again. I’m going to get a leg warmer to slide over that rod.

It snowed and is now just way tooo cold
Ok, so I kinda knew that it would get cold here, but it's in the 20's. The icicles are getting longer by the minute and the cat is holed up under the blankets on the bed. The rod in my leg is keeping my shin nice & cold. I didn't know that my bones could hurt so badly.
I took some pictures this morning. The snow was fairly deep, above Emerson's belly.

Shelby was visiting in mid October
My girlfriend from JI & Tucson came to visit this weekend. We went to the Rocky Mountain National Park. The elk are supposed to be bugling, we only found white tail deer. They we beautiful and totally unafraid. They were right by the road and could care less if there were people around or not.
