Volunteers Here

We are still Volunteers at the Cherry Creek State Park just south of Denver, CO.  We have a great parking spot.  The Park has so much to offer.  It's been a hot month with little rain, but things are still fairly green.

Our job is still to keep the beach, picnic areas and bathrooms clean.  We still get to enjoy the sun, clouds and sunsets.

There's lots of wild life around.  We have Mule Deer, all sorts of birds, rabbits and bull snakes!

The reason we volunteer here is to be able to stay and spend time with family.  Our daughter's family of six live here and also Craig's two older brothers.  We always enjoy seeing them.  We also have several friends in the area and many we still hope to see while here.

 We also watch the grand kids

play sports.  Cooper plays football.

Collin plays baseball.  He plays, second, third and did some pitching at his fist game.

Tana is our youngest of three and our only daughter.  She always asked for ice cream pies for her Birthday.  She turned 41 on the 17th and we celebrated a few times during the week.

Craig has had three weird spots, one under each eye and one behind his ear.  He went to the VA were they did biopsies and then sent him to a Skin Surgical Place where they have started by removing one at a time.  It's basal cell and didn't seem to be too bad, but by the time they cut all around it, he ended up looking like a boxer.  He is doing fine, but has two more to go and they will only do one a week. This picture was the first morning after the surgery, it's healing up now and the swelling is down.

We have a grill that is ribbed on one side and flat on the other.  We decided to try pizza on the grill.  It came out great!

The locusts are singing to us as we watch the Men's Volleyball Olympics.

Blessings,

Kathy
