Anybody out there??

OK, so it has been a long time since I have posted anything. I think that I have been disillusioned a bit about posting on this blog. Most times I feel there is no one out there to here what I say so why waste my time. Also it has been pretty dull around here. Not much going on till lately. Last weekend we went to Greeley to watch our oldest son graduate from the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in engineering physics. It took him 6 years but he is done and HAS A JOB! It was nice to spend some time with him as we do not get to see him very often anymore but had the feeling that we were in the way a bit. You know how it is being the parents and the rest of the group is the same age as your child. I think they were waiting for us to leave so they could party. Still I am very proud of everything my son has accomplished with his time in college. I could list every outstanding thing he has done but will not bore you with the details.

Oh yes I have some news to share, the hubby finally got his walking papers with his company. He had 27 years with them and they decided to let him go. His last official day will be the 22nd of May but he has not actual worked with them for about 6 weeks now. They gave him two months to find a job on their dime. He did get an interview with a company here in Pueblo and did get a call back for a 5 hour interview but have not heard back from them to say yeah or nay yet. There is not much for him around here so he may have to expand his search a bit farther than just Pueblo, which means that he may have to commute in the near future. I hope something comes up, it is starting to get a bit nerve wracking.

Our youngest is getting ready to graduate from high school. So we have been getting the house ready for the big party. Spent all day yesterday cleaning out the fish pond after the winter. That was really gross!! My two Saint Bernard's use it as their water bucket plus all the hair that they lose goes right into the pond, plus we found a couple of pieces of blanket at the bottom. We pulled out a wheelbarrow full of stuff and then drained the water, talk about a bad smell!! We then power washed the whole pond and then filled it back up. I am waiting for the chlorine to evaporate so I can put the remaining fish back in. (We found a couple of dead ones at the bottom.) I will get my lights working and we will be back in business. I enjoy sitting out there watching the fish.

Waiting for the weather to get a little bit warmer so that I can try to get a garden in this year. Did not have much luck last year plus I went back to work a year ago and that has put a big dent on my free time. We will see what happens. I guess that is all that is going on right now. Will try to stay a little more consistent about posting but no promises! Till next time!
