When the rain came, we sang & danced
Even though it was rained out we managed to have a little fun at the Li’l Stone Music House where we sang, danced and ate well. Thanks to Jesse Basque, Salvatore Pace and especially Cat Connor who had stretched her voice to the limit the night before at Karaoke and still gave us her all. It sure was fun.
Glen Burke was so moved by the oldies he hoisted himself from his walker + oxygen to dance with Janet. We all love our “Old TV man” (Glen ran Burke’s TV for 50 years).

Power finally comes to the people!
Joe and I put the sod down yesterday (thank you to Big R for donating half of it) and when we ran out I purchased more which Big R so graciously delivered again this morning, so we were able to finished. With Ellis here helping the past couple weeks we were able to get the yard ready for soil, a fence fixed and the basement organized. He left yesterday after helping unload the sod. We wish him well and thank him for his contribution while here at Pueblo House.
It took a run down to Black Hills office this morning to ensure we got our power. Now Ray is outside hooking us up to real live power, putting the meter as I type this ….yea!
Glen came to visit us yesterday and I was so thrilled to see his car behind the RV just like old times. Clyde is back and so there is a very happy Bonnie right now. Even Paul (the gardener from next door) was happy to see Glen and commented on how well he’s doing after his stroke. Our good friends Elaine and Maggie dropped by as well so it was quite a gathering around the kitchen table with lively discussion.
Joe got the new greenhouse put together and ready for our seedlings. Just have to move the potty behind the house to free up the best location, so it’s not going to blow away!
Kayla is diggn’ her new crib and today made herself a hole in which she can lays and stay cool. She loves being out front where she can watch Joe in the garden. The neighbors have a beautiful lilac bush in bloom which is complementing our new sod. Now that we have power, we no longer have to worry about the electric box being stolen. We’re planning another outdoor concert on May 17th. Hope to see everyone out for a sing along. (Janet)
