A fun day out!

Wow, what a month it’s been.   My studio has been so busy lately with all the kids coming in and preparing for the music and art festival – I’ve hardly had time to rest!  Such drama with the kids – constant fighting between one in particular and everyone else, I had to totally kick her out for the summer – she even threw a tantrum in here, throwing stuff around, sprinkling glitter everywhere; her sisters even showed up and tried to get her to come home and she locked herself in the bathroom – quite an ordeal!   I'm here for the kids to talk to, to have something to do,  to have fun, but not for discipline!

I finally got my taxes done a couple weeks ago and Fri. a small refund came in – what awesome timing.  We were able to get caught up on the bills, get some maintenance done on the car (soooo needed!),  AND go to a Brian Duncan concert this weekend in Pueblo.  We’ve been so busy lately AND so broke, we haven’t gone out for a very long time – so we took the day and ‘experienced’ Pueblo, CO.  What a cool river walk we found in the old section of town.  We had a great restful experience walking around town, looking at some antique stores, sitting by the river, people watching, etc.  We even saw a green man walking around – very weird!  We asked him what he was up to and he only mimed “I don’t know” with his shoulder shrug – or maybe it was “who knows.”

We met up with some friends for dinner at a most wonderful Italian restaurant there on the river.  Then we walked over to the gazebo for the concert – great time overall!
