County Fair

The BoCo Fair is in town this week, so Noah and decided to go there for lunch today after church.  Having never been to the BoCo Fair I wanted to see what it was like.  Let’s just say I was glad it was free. No fun junk food vendors No long-horn steer No sheep No […]

What a week it has been!

And it’s still not over!  This week there have been tornadoes “near” my house on two separate days, and so far I have only been to work only 2 1/2 days.  The reason why?  Jury duty.  Last week I attended my first jury summons for Colorado only to learn that I was in a pool […]
