July 7th

our sunday started early  this week.the 4th!! all to the parade, same spot. has been modified , less bushes no trees, but the same spot.carmens family on the right and ours on the left. zach exactly in the middle. chris and boys road up mt taylor [ a ways] kids and kids at heart chasing candy and prizes in the street. kenny martinez was grand marshall so we booed him for his political affiliation. then to janies for ribs and stuff . one of those painful meals cause every thing is so good and you want to try to taste it all. frances and ron showed  kj out to durango .the rest of us were all there.

  rana had come for the 4th so took time to celebrate kylies ' bday. fri  night we were all out at a skating party . tim and crew didn't make this one but the townies were there full force . maggie did her best dorthy hammel imitations . sandy and carmen shook the cob webs off and looked respectable. back in the far reaches of his mind chris started out and was respectable by night fall. i felt like i could remember enough to do those moves , but fear of pain kept me from trying.  grand kids [ maggies] progressed leaps and bounds. certainly could see woodbury genetics. they were all on the floor at once and like wade looked like windmills . now the great grand kids also got a shot at glory. mine couldn't seem to divorce themselves from the rail .toms were 50/50 by night fall, lilly at almost polished. kylie the bday girl obviously prepped for the occasion. phoenix able to stand. cody refusing to. kymag and isiah all smiles the world moving to fast for tater to keep up. 

    sat. more party . geared to the great grand kids. actually the grand kids got their jollies also. puffing up their chests as the offspring do their daring do. tater now a yr old and gpa rich running around like a japanese tourist camera in hand. out laws and aquaitances present ,so everyone behaved.

   ah,sunday! quiet , gary and marie cracking eggs frying sausage , sandy in conrtoll of toaster. chris conspicuously absent . pam got home from her 2wk diabetic camp.boys continued the bday party. mags' crew rodeoing in socorro. pat came to do the chores but salma and lil ant had already molested chickens and put out hay. pat took those 2 to check spring. sandy and carmen decide to go to albuquerque .i'm off to hsp marie and gary did the maintenance stuff that no one else has.

    forgot to mention uncle tim stayed the wk with his nephew josh ,farris' son. got to butcher move cattle ,ride and shoot. i think the most impressive thing was uncle tims eating habits junk food eater supreme. i imagine all the tough stuff with twinkies .
