[quote=SeaOfGrass;10730577Two weeks in Colorado! Were you on vacation? Visiting relatives? That sounds loooovely! [/quote]
No vacation this time. My mom fell and I went out to help her get back on her feet.
Well actually, she was already standing by the time I got there........sorry - bad joke at Mom's expense.
She's 81 and was on a treadmill at home. She hit the wrong button to stop and sped up instead. Just like George Jetson & Astro ... RUH-RO! She's had a great sense of humor thru it all though & I'm glad I got to visit with her even under these circumstances. Thankfully no broken hips; but she did fracture her collarbone and did a nasty full dislocation of her shoulder.
The news had a full story the day after I smelled smoke (& thought it was my van). The story said Boulder & Jefferson counties' Sheriff's Dept.s were getting calls all day from people who could swear there was a fire but could see no flames. When they said it came all the way from California, it hit me just how bad that had to be.
Glad to hear you can see your Chow nice & clear, SeaOfGrass!

Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your mom - although I have to admit, that was a pretty good joke! We both snickered at that one. Anyway, hope she's doing okay.
That's weird about the smoke going that far. The last time we had big fires, we had to close up the whole house. The sky was orange, it was raining ashes, and the smell of smoke was making us sick and headachy.
Glad everything is okay with your mom. Wow - 81 and on a treadmill! Good for her!!
All quiet here...another dang Saturday come, and almost gone. I swore I was gonna go out tonight, but somehow I always talk myself out of it!
I was just relaxing over here too. I don't like driving in rainy weather, and it has been raining for a few days, so I decided to take it easy and watch a movie at home instead.

Yeah me too. Actually I bought a new DVD player last weekend as our old one finally died (lot of good that $20 laser cleaner disk did me! ). And it is SO cool!! It connects to my internet and I can stream Netflix movies on my TV! Okay, not all the movies are available for it, but there are enough to make any night a movie night. Really really awesome. AND, I can watch YouTube with it as well. Man...what will they think of next.

Yeah, Chow got us a box that can stream off Netflix, too. I like it a lot, too, but it just made his day.

We just got this Netflix last week. It works pretty good.

Sad!
Yes, I hate when the fires happen.
