It is raining cats and dogs outside today. Judy has already been to school and worked with her nine new student teachers. It is going to be an exciting year for her.

I failed to mention yesterday that Strode and Judy had a great weekend this past weekend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday included a dinner out at one of our favorite brew pubs--Lodo Bar and Grill, a concert at the Arvada Center --blue grass and Celtic music, and a run through the Golden Art festival, which is one of our favorites. Strode also likes the fact that he can stop for a beer or two at the "2nd largest brewery" in Golden! A great little place to stop and rest awhile.
