Aunt Donna from our greyhound group, GCMO, sent this to Scout.
Mama laughed and laughed. Scout didn't think it was so funny. Scout would like to let everyone know that she is trimming down with all the walking that she has been doing. Personally, I am not trimming down, but bulky up. You should see my butt muscles! It is not just me bragging. People comment on my muscles all the time.

Trader's Village
The folks went to Trader's Village yesterday. It is a huge outdoor flea market. Pets are not allowed, but they sell dogs, birds and snakes there. Mama said she thinks you can buy just about anything there. They have appliances, tons of bras and even stun guns. The biggest problem is that most of the people do not price their items and since most of the sellers are Hispanic, there is a language barrier. On a side note, Mama is starting her online Spanish course today. She is tired of not knowing what signs say and what people are saying. She said this will be a problem almost everywhere we travel, so she is taking action. BOL! She is not sure she will be successful, but she is going to give it a try.
Mama bought a hat since it was so windy. It has a drawstring to keep it from flying off. It can be a flopping hat or it can look like a cowboy hat. Yes, you read that correctly. We have a cowboy hat.
Check out Mama's review of Twin Peaks. It's a restaurant with "scenic views". BOL!

Scout seems happier about it than me. |
The thrill is wearing off. |
I don't like it. |
This is as good as it gets and Mama is even holding on to me. See, that's her hand. |
I don't care if there are treats involved. |
Treats? |
Get it off of me! |
I may be a Texan, but I don't do cowboy hats. |
Okay, one more, but that is it. |

I Took It On The Chin
Yesterday, we were headed out for a walk. Normally, Mama takes me and Dad takes Scout. Yesterday, Mama took Scout and they went out the door first. Dad went out and then me. I did something wrong because I ended up on my chin! Yep, my chin ended up on the concrete! Mama said "Joey, what did you do?" I don't know what I did, but I kept licking my teeth to make sure they were all there. I was kind of stunned. Mama came over to check me out. Scout came over after about a minute and checked me out, too. Scout deemed me to be fine and called me a goober. Mama gave me a big hug which embarrassed me. I was ready to begin our walk then. Mama still had to check out my mouth and my chin and she found nothing wrong, so we went on our walk. I was lucky that I didn't get hurt according to Mama. Dad said it looks like we need a bed at the bottom of our steps so that I have a soft landing. He is so funny, NOT! If he put a bed at the bottom on the steps, Scout would never leave the driveway.
We are loving our shades. Today is the first day that we have had sun since we had them installed. It is about 65 outside, but if we didn't have the shades, the windshield would be hot. It is not even warm, so far.

We Have Shades!
The screen/shade man showed up at 10:30 a.m. even though he said he wasn't coming today. Mama was not totally surprised because the weather forecast for the rest of the weekend looks bad for him to work here. Today, it was supposed to rain and then the forecast changed, so we guess that is why he showed up. Mama didn't ask questions.
We were a little nervous with him here because he had to put snaps on the outside of the motor home and that was loud. It didn't last long and then he put the shade across the windshield. Mama said "ooooh and ahhhh". BOL!
Mama is a very happy camper tonight. The shades will keep us cooler and the privacy factor is HUGE for Mama. People would walk by and would look right in our windshield and that bothered Mama. We can stick our tongues out at them and they won't even know. BOL!
The screen guy picked up three more jobs because of us. He told us he had to work on other jobs next week, so it could be a while before they get theirs, if at all.

This is our greyhound wind spinner. A man today stopped by to say he really liked it. |
This is a before photo without the shades. See the spinner in the tree. Our greyhound flag is next to the tree. |
Us enjoying our motor home. Okay, back to the topic of this post. |

After the shade. See, we can still see out. |
We have shades on our tires to protect them from the sun. |

The front of the motor home. People can't see in! Mama loves that. |

Screen Man, Where Are You?
The screen man said he would be here either Tuesday or Wednesday. Yesterday, he said he would come by either Friday or Saturday. We were surprised when he stopped by yesterday afternoon. He said he was just checking out the park. We think he was trying to get more business, which is fine. He said he would come by on Friday. Mama asked him if he were would be here in the morning or afternoon. He finally decided he would be here at 9 a.m. This morning, he emailed Dad and said "Not Friday it 6-7 hour job" What does that mean? Does that mean he is coming by on Saturday? His communication skills are terrible. He refuses to talk on the phone and only uses email. It is like pulling teeth to get any information out of him. Dad said he is not even going to respond to him this time. Mama is tired of him, too. I guess if he wants the work, he will show up. Mama said it is supposed to rain in the morning tomorrow, so maybe that is why he is saying not Friday. It will kill our Saturday, if he decides to show up then, but at least it will get done and Dad can supervise. We may leave Houston without having it done and that makes us sad.
There is not much going on here. Mama ordered our forwarded mail to be sent to us. It probably will arrive on Saturday or Monday. She wanted to make sure it arrived while we are still here. We are hoping our Texas titles for the motor home and car are in this shipment. Her driver's license will probably not be in this shipment since it takes 30-45 days to get the license. She has a temporary one. We will have to have our mail forwarded to a post office in Denver once we get settled there. We will probably only have it sent once a month from now on. We really don't receive much mail these days.
We had storms that woke us up Wednesday morning. After the rained stopped, I convinced Mama to take me out at 4 a.m. Dad couldn't sleep so he walked with us. Dad said we won't be able to take late night/early morning walks in Denver. They have bears! Well, we are not sure that the state park we are staying at has bears, but some Colorado state parks have bears or at least that is what the website says. It also says they have mountain lions. I like cats, but Dad said I can't tease those. Yikes! Where are the folks taking us to that we have to worry about the wildlife? I think they are taking this adventure thing a little too far.
