I had my yearly mammogram today. It was uneventful....I hope. The results will be sent to me by next week. Anyway, for you ladies that have had these before, you know the room is cold and dim. On the chair was the little gown top and a wipette called MammoWipe. I had to laugh.
"MammoWipe is a premoistened towelette for general wash-up and patient skin cleansing. MammoWipe is effective for removing residual oils, powder and deordorant prior to procedures such as mammography. MammoWipe leaves no residue and dries in seconds."
Always looking for the humor in a stressful situation...

A Colorado Photomontage
When Danny's family was here, we did lots of things...depending on the weather! They were lucky because they were able to experience a typical Colorado spring: one day snow, one day rain, one day sunshine, one day cold, one day cool, one day warm. You get the idea. Here is a photomontage, taken by Eileen, of our adventures.
This one of Tony was taken at Pearl Street Mall in the alley of a restaurant, the Rio Grande. Tony has taken up photography. To look the part, he has been collecting the appropriate attire to go with it. The trench is from ARC. The hat is from Estes. And, the camera is a 1978 Cannon, courtesy of his Papa. Eileen ps'ed the photo to give it a "Dick-Tracey-era-cartoon-look".
This one of Marisa is so typical of her mood lately: pensive. We were at the Stanley Hotel awaiting our ghost tour. She was checking her text messages. Give this girl a deck of cards and poker chips. Who can tell what she is really thinking?
This is the front of the Stanley Hotel. It had been snowing, but the sunshine melted enough snow away and we went to Estes Park for the day. We saw lots of history this day, both inanimate and spiritual! I'm too afraid to post pictures of our ghost tour. You will just have to log onto facebook and check out Eileen's posts for those.
This is a wonderful shot of the landscape from the Stanley's front steps. Breathtaking!
Before we got to go to Estes Park, we were homebound due to snow in Broomfield. The snow this time was wet and very heavy. This is our backyard. Makes me feel cold just looking at it.
Another view of the backyard. This was a very cold and wet day. However, we managed to get to JoAnn's Fabrics for yarn on this day!
Two days later, Marisa is out on the golf course. Putting and chipping. Chipping and putting. All afternoon long!
The golf coach invited Eileen and Omar to putt and chip. They preferred to spectate. Thanks, Eileen, for the photos!
This is the pond by our house. With all the rain and snow, the pond was flooding the pathways. Still beautiful!
Another view of the pond on the greenbelt. I will miss this when we moved back to Texas...

Approaching Events
Soon, very soon, Tony will be Confirmed. He has a suit, tie, and shiny black shoes. Right now, he and Danny went to get the hair "shaped". Tony printed a picture of Patrick Swayze from Point Break. I don't care, it's only hair. I think Tony will actually look good.
We're doing lots and lots of cleaning for our guests. Danny parents are coming and so are Eileen and Omar. We can't hardly wait. Omar is the only one who hasn't been to visit us yet. Anyway, we "live" in our house. It's not a museum and we are not one to try to keep it pristene for show. As a result, well, you've seen posts past of my kids rooms! Surprisingly, we are 70% done with our cleaning spree and we have 4 days left!
Not only do we have Confirmation on our plate, Tony has a track meet and Marisa has a golf tourney next week when everyone is here. I'm doing some independent contract social work services, too! Glutten for punishment?
Danny and I just got back from Supper Solutions and the grocery store. Need to go to the licquor store and we are set! Happy Easter, everyone!
