I love yoou, man!!!

Andy and I just got back from the La Veta Inn and happy hour cocktails. The gang was there with lots of laughs all around. You can't be thin skinned in these parts or you'll never survive socially or physically.

Waffy had a bath yesterday; her first since May and boy-o-boy did she ever need it!! She came home all fluffy and smelling pretty. I threw her ball for her and when she got good and warm she plopped herself down in the middle of a mud puddle left over from the rainstorm of the night before. Oy. Today she somehow ripped off a toenail chasing her ball and bled forever. Geez. Kids.


High school football has started in La Veta. The stadium is just to the east of us, but the cheering is loud and clear and sounds like fun. They take their football serious, like in Carp. I just can't see sitting in 40 degree weather in October unless my kid is playing. Oh, and for you Carp Warriors, the La Veta team mascot name is Redskins. Hmmm. Don't tell the Carp school board.

And speaking of weather, it turned fall on September 1. The light and shadows changed with the temperature, seemingly overnight. I can't tell you how beautiful it is.
The west Spanish Peak got a light dusting of snow and the temp in the early morning is in the 40's.

Is anyone else besides Becky, Nate, Casey, and myself watching the Dodgers and Manny being Manny? I love that guy.

I love this town.

That's all I got for now. Lvoe, k
