It's JULY!! Our busy birthday month with 4 birthdays and an anniversary to celebrate! But first let's wrap up June!
If it's summer, it's construction time in Colorado! For a couple of weeks if you wanted to get to Co. Springs, you had 3 different construction zones to get through!! Road work down to one lane between Divide and Florissant for rail guard work - complete standstill on the picture below due to installing a longer turn lane in Divide for traffic going to Cripple Creek so the usual turn lane was shut down (this was an absolute nightmare as the people turning couldn't turn because oncoming traffic was coming from Florissant to Divide so sometimes only 4 or 5 cars could get through the light going straight) - OMG - I sat for over 20 minutes trying to get through!!! And the last construction site was on the pass to Co. Springs as they had one side completely shut down as they were doing rock mitigation!! Thankfully we're down to only 1 construction now!
Yes, that's a tornado in Teller County - my friend Beth sent me this as we were driving home from Denver!! She lives in Divide in the Sherwood Forest subdivision - luckily no major damage, just a lot of downed trees!
The POA held its' annual Dumpster Days one weekend - Glenn always works the first morning (to get all the cool free stuff - ha!!) and we actually ordered 3 dumpsters this year instead of 2! But as fate would have it, we didn't have many people stop by with trash so we only filled 2 of the dumpsters!
We did have a nice turnout at the BBQ that day but SO many leftovers!! This is basically 1/3 of the leftovers we had!!
We were thrilled to have Glenn's sister Sherry along with her daughter and family join us for a late afternoon dinner and evening - they were playing tourists in Colorado along with a Red Rocks concert! We had a fun evening with the 2 kids who are so cute and fun to be around! They are all definitely welcome to come again when they're back in Colorado!
The latter part of June means it's time to get the POA homeowners' bills ready to mail in July! It's always a big job to do but this year I did it with a smile on my face as it's my LAST year to be treasurer - so this was my LAST billing! My treasurer duties will be done at the end of August which is the close of our fiscal year!
And that's a wrap for June!
