Miscellaneous-August 4, 2016

First, Happy Birthday to my baby brother! His birthday serves to remind me how old I am.

I have several odd pictures to share in no particular order.

This burro just moved in down the street from Derrick. Well, it's family
moved in, too. Neither one of us has ever seen a multi colored burro.
All we have ever seen is a solid colored ones. It seems so odd. And the
poor thing is entirely frustrated. It paces constantly and brays endlessly.
We feel sorry for it. Still, it's interesting to look at.
 
This is our view of the Rockies. Trust me, they are there. The smoke has
been so bad for so long we have not had a clear view of the mountains
in a very long time. We miss them.
 
The last time we went to the park when it was not cloudy and cool,
the girls went down a hot slide. Shame on us for not checking first.
As soon as they got off the slide they started running around the park
holding their rear ends and shouting that they had burned bottoms.
It was too funny to stop them. Besides we were the only ones there.
 
When we picked the girls up this morning Hannah asked to go to the "toy store", her name for Wal Mart. It's definitely not our favorite store but Toys R Us is just too far away. It goes without saying she found a Princess Cat (mew-mew) that she wanted. We told her she could not have it because it might mess up her birthday which is next week. She said that was fine because she didn't want anything except a cake. We found that a clever enough answer that she and Zoey both got the Princess cat. It's a tiny thing and really cute. It only took us an hour and a half to find that one object. Still, for the most part, we had fun.
 
Once we arrived back here, we made some cookies. I had the idea to make watermelon cookies. Watermelon in appearance, not flavor. So, I made sugar cookie dough. We all put the dough on the cookie sheets. Zoey fell asleep so Hannah had to decorate them. The icing is just a vanilla flavored powder sugar icing and then she put mini chocolate chips on top. I think they turned out pretty well.
 
They're going down pretty easily, too.
 
We will have the girls here again on Saturday. We never know what to expect so we are just trying to roll with the punches.
