Kids

 Haven’t checked in on the kids for a bit. After checking, yep, all is well. Sara(Beth) took a weekend trip to a National Park. Hello Crater Lake!! And a stamp in the passport too. Nathanael’s photo was randomly selected to be featured in a post from Christ Community and the time him and Ruthie volunteered at Zoe’s. We also stopped by his birthday party after smoking 2 tri-tips on the Traeger. That board game looks complicated. And finally, a few first day of school pictures from Mr. And Mrs. Roth, only a few weeks late. 

Mash

 You could say it was a Monster Mash in downtown Greeley over the weekend, as close to 10,000 folks descended in various stages of undress and costumes to celebrate the 10th and final Monster Days. Can’t imagine how hot it was in some of those costumes, as temps touched 93. Whatever the reason, always happy to see people in downtown. And thanks to the ALLO crew for showing up and posting up. 

News

 Few items of interest from the past week or so. At least Darth Vader hasn’t shown up at one of our meetings yet. IYKYK. 

 

24/Draft/Hawaii

 Looked who turned 24 this week as birthday season begins! Also had one of three fantasy drafts, this one with the Cooks. I even brought along my co-owner. Finally, sadly, some damage in Hawaii from the hurricane that just went through the island. We were at these places in June. The first two pictures where where I walked in the mornings, about a mile from our resort. The second row and from Whalers Village, where we shopped, and the happy hours and the Welch’s got their tattoos. 

29

 During the technical difficulties, Mrs. Roth and I celebrated 29 years of marital bliss. It was a relaxed celebration, spending the day in Greeley doing all the Greeley things. We closed the day with oysters on the half shell and a mostly flat tire. I love you, babe. Cheers to us. 

Onions!

 Technical difficulties this week. Thanks for the patience. It was Ag Tour day at the Greeley Chamber! If you remember last year, I was in the middle of the campaign and tensions were high. This year was much more chill. Toured three different farms, with three completely different business strategies. The final stop was Fagerberg Farms which produces onions.  So. Many. Onions. It was a long, hot day, with temps that reached 98. Also, so many onions.
