AMERICA!

 It was a crazy bust 4th of July in the Dirty G. We had an early morning start with the parade and happy hour (more to come on that in a separate post), followed by a quick stop at Kaan’s party before closing the night at Scribbick Ranch. I only suffered a small fireworks burn, so that was good. As I reflected on the day, I’m grateful to live in America, warts and all. I feel it’s the greatest country in the world, and I’m so grateful to be living under the protection of our military and first responders. I’m thankful for first world healthcare, air conditioning and that I don’t have to worry if my electricity will go out. I am grateful for freedom of travel, freedom of speech, and freedom to gather. God Bless America. 

Buffalo

 Look who’s on vacation in beautiful Buffalo, NY? Yep, the mostly newlyweds with Ari’s family. Of course D is reading all the historical landmarks. And yes, it does look a little moist at Niagara Falls. Hope you all are having so much fun.

4th Eve

 Couple of images leading up to July 4th. Attended the Cigar and Whiskey night at the Stampede with Nathanael and so many other good friends (and supporters of the campaign). Bumped into that cute couple when we were leaving. Our doodles from our last day of LNCO. Some goals I hit in June. Making stickers for the parade. A bartender at the Tavern. The same cute couple off with her family for a 4th of July vacation. 

Brave

 Look at this rockstar and her weekend activity up in Portland! Grandpa Roth would have been absolutely terrified for her, if he knew she was repelling down a 14 story building. It was all for a good cause, the Big Brothers and Big Sisters in the Portland area. Way to go Sara(beth)!!

Halfway

 It’s already half way through 2025. Here is a quick catch-up post for a few things the past week or two. The Scribbick brothers and I made the wrap-up video that O.A.R. Posted from the Colorado weekend. A golf tournament for Genesis Project. First trip to the Greeley Stampede this summer. Our station at Bike to Work Day. My friend Deana who is running for school board and my friend Chalice at Deana’s kickoff party.
