Yippee! Our new computer came today! It is so small and perfect and sexy! So back to blogging.
I took the girls to America the Beautiful Park today. Riley pointed out on her own that that's a funny name for a park. Leave it to Colorado Springs to name a park such a name. One of our parks that is under construction is going to be called Cancer Survivors Park. Go figure. Anyway, this playground was really strange. The jury is still out on it for me, but Riley and Avery had an absolute blast there. Avery just likes to run around. Almost the whole park was devoted to spinning structures and weird climbing things. A perfect place for a, say, eight-year-old boy. The playground was constructed by a Danish company and it look sort of european "mod" urban something like that. We tried to fly a kite, but leave it to us to chose the only day in Colorado history when there isn't any wind. Just a couple of gusts, but not enough to sustain a flying kite.
Our microwave is now broken and I didn't realize how much we really use it. I use it a lot to reheat my pot of coffee. I wonder what's wrong with us that we've lost so many electronics in such a short amount of time. I'd ask the new property manager to check out our wiring, but since she grumbled about giving us a smoke detector that we've been waiting nearly a year for, I don't think that'll happen.
Oh, this computer is so great. Don't have it totally figured out yet, but that'll come. I'm still getting used to the keyboard. I know Rudi will have fun with that one. We still have dial-up, but we're going to work on erradicating that as soon as possible.
I'm going to recharge my camera batteries tonight and do a lot of downloading tomorrow (but not too much at once so the phone line isn't always tied up). And a lot of disc burning to send to the fam out east.
