Silver Liningness Sunday

Happy first weekend of May.  Ours came in like a sweet lambkin!

This was an interesting week - what with snow and mousecapades and crazy winds...  In addition, Magnum was out of town for most of it, so I was weathering it all as the sole old wise person.  Although I imagine the mouse drama wouldn't have played out much differently if he were here, he just missed the fun.

He was actually dealing with his own fun in the form of Mexican banditos, but that's another story.

Seems I'm making progress in the P.E.O. world.  Today, I became a POd chair.  Bet you're wondering what that is!  In fact, I kinda am too!  But oh well, I'm in the books.

Spent some time with Chaco and Wolfgang this weekend.  They both came by for dinner from a task somewhat related to the Mexican banditos, so it was good to have the whole gang here at once.

Meego got in another track meet this week.  An earlier one was cancelled on account of below-freezing windchills (BOOO!), but the second one made it.  It was held in the big stadium with the fancy surface and grandstand, so it was fun for all to be in the big show.

And did you hear about one of the perks of living in Colorado?  Well, yeah, there's legal pot... BUT as of May 1st, AAA membership includes rides for stranded bicyclists at no extra charge!  They got four new members.





And the first inaugural Grizzly Dash 5K was fun to be a part of, and I was glad to avoid below freezing windchills.

Stay cool, fools!

Cancelled because of below freezing wind chills in May? I thought that you guys loved the challenge of running in Artic weather. Ya'll didn't look too chilly at the Grizzly run.

Didn't know that AAA added bike towing. I will have to check my membership perks. What about skateboards?

Below freezing wind chills on Tuesday, having to dowse ourselves with cool water on Saturday - that's the time of year around here. I think it's why we deserve legal pot and free bike towing.

The weather people keep promising me spring weather, but I've had some of the same ups and downs that you've had. At least the flowers are blooming (all except the ones that got broken in snow). Oh well, pretty soon we can complain about being too hot :)

Three cheers for AAA. That's very human of them! Man, you are in good shape!

Well, at least it wasn't a boring week by any means! I mean, with Magnum chasing Mexican Banditos and you becoming a member of the POD people, who could get bored?

Nice that you got to spend some quality time with all of the boys. Looks like Meego never got that haircut you've been threatening him with. :-)

I've already started complaining about the hot. Don't want to get rusty.

I heard it's just in Colorado and Oregon for the stranded bicyclists. I hope I never need to call them, but still!

Abby said...

Right!? I told him he could run faster if he got a decent haircut, but he's like Sampson with that stuff!
POD people- ha! (Is that what it means??)

Dousing yourself with cold water, hmmm. Preppin' for something?
How cool AAA offers roadside assistance to bikers! Perfect for your family.
Nice that you got to spend some time with your very own banditos. And would love to hear Magnum's story....

Abby said...

Ugh, the banditos... Family banditos are just fine, otherwise NOT

Judy said...

Okay, I give. I'm a P.E.O. and I have NO CLUE what POd is...not a clue. I'm going through all my group acronyms and coming up with nothing. Must be a Colorado thang.

Abby said...

It probably has something to do with marijuana. Totally.

Aww poor Hello Kitty got a soaking! Ha. Is there a guy in a red superman cloak behind you, or am I just going mad?

Abby said...

That is indeed Superman. And you probably are also going mad!
