ARROWS!

Tuesday morning I awake to find a hunting arrow lodged in our bedroom window & TV. I froze in horror and thought perhaps I was dreaming. There it was....a very expensive hunting arrow in our bedroom window. After spending the entire day with the police and crime scene detective, I felt like I was on CSI. "Who would have done this" was the question that kept coming to mind. Even the police said this was one for the record. Had it not been for our TV, one of us would of been dead as the arrow was aimed right at our bed. We now have to special order a window as it is an odd size, and co-ordinate the new window being put in with a detective so he can come and remove the arrow. This has been one of the worst things that has ever happened. Very unnerving. I haven't slept in our bedroom since.....and actually, I haven't slept much at all. It will be interesting to see where this leads. I would post some pictures of this, but frankly, I don't want to have a visual reminder. "Every day's a gift" keeps playing in my mind.

Wednesday we celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary. We had a quiet dinner at Anthony's Hearthfire on the water and watched the sailboat races. A nice repreave from the arrow incident! Here's to another 31!

We just got back from our two week road trip to Colorado. We covered 7 states in 2 weeks and it was exhausting, but fun. We stayed with our friends Bill and Janet in Palmer Lake CO, just outside Colorado Springs. Beautiful country and a great time. We got to visit with Hilary & baby Payten, who is one year old now and so very cute & smart. Chris & Bill got to see the final day of the Senior U.S. Open at The Broodmoor in Colorado Springs. Thanks Sam for getting those passes! And thanks to Bill for driving us all over Colorado, even though Dorothy got car sick. And Janet's homemade taco shells were the best! We then ventured on to Wyoming and stayed with our friends the Oliveira's in Gillette. George took us by the Big Horn Mountain range and on to his mother in law's huge cattle ranch in Ranchester WY. We even got to have lunch with Nancy and it was good to see her after so many years. Some of the most beautiful scenery we've ever seen was in Wyoming. George and Dorothy were great hosts - thanks to you both. And those buffalo burgers were great! We saw so much of our beautiful country but glad to be home
