A pic from the fire last night. (I didn't take it). It's from a little outside boulder from the east.
Hi Mom,We under a cloud of smoke and ash from a nearby forest fire right now. It started around 10am this morning and has been burning all day - getting progressively worse as the day has gone on. I sent a couple of pictures to the ceiva.Pretty laid back day for labor day. Up early for a run. Out to walk the dog. Megan has been taking care of the Leitz's dog, Chester, over the weekend. So, we went over there to check on him. I lost the cars keys along the way on our walk. Back track to the park and up and down the street. Megan finally found them in the middle of the street about 30 minutes later. Whew - it's the only set we have. Then Some office work. A haircut. Theresa, Megan and Whitney and I headed over to Chautauqua for the Boulder Art Association exhibits and to see Laura Prill's demonstration of collaging. Pretty cool. Then a few errands to the grocery store, best buy, Dairy Queen and home for the evening.We did go down to the ChristySports PowderDaze sale to check out lift tickets yesterday. 1hr drive all the down to south Denver - only to find out you have to be there in person to get a Copper 4-pack. At $149 for 5 days it was a smoking deal. *BUT*In the end we couldn't get one for Larry. So, I decided not to get one for me either. We'll just figure that out as we go. We did end up buying 4 Eldora 3-packs for $79 each for our family. That was the best deal going for us. It was crazy down there.Chloe had a sleep over last night for Natalie Pease's birthday last night. As a result she is wiped out today - lots of napping and general grumpiness today. She was also up early on Saturday morning for her first cross country meet. She was ineligible this week 'cause she started practice too late. I think they practice everyday after school. Since she didn't make the volleyball team this was an opportunity to stay involved. Glad she went for it. She left the house at 7am on Saturday for the meet and I think she got home around 4pm. In time to go baby sit at 5pm.Good news about your thanksgiving plans. We can figure out the airport pickups and drop offs. I'm off that whole week so I don't think it will be a problem for us to be the shuttle in the mini-van - you can pay me the $35 :-)Lot's of football yesterday. Good day for MU and CU. Not so good for KU. Arizona had a good opener on Friday night too.I played yesterday at church. Had music practice on Thursday night - the same time as Megan's back to school night. Theresa had to cover that one on her own. We had Chloe's back to school night on Tuesday.BSF starts next Monday. Schedules are starting to get crazy. Something happening just about every night now.Theresa has a big gig coming up - to do a comedy sketch at a wedding rehersal dinner. She knows the mother of the groom from W2W. She's getting paid $100 to come up with a 5-min original sketch. Very fun!Well that's about it for now.luv u,jeff
