Let the parade begin!

My good friend, Sheila, and I tried something new recently. We borrowed this cute little contraption built by a friend and rode it in the Aurora Colony Days parade. We even won first prize for creativity in our category!

Lately, I have been thinking I would do most anything to get the word out about our wonderful place to stay here in Aurora. As you can see, we had great fun and it worked...
at least we got lots of attention (maybe because folks didn't expect two little old ladies to be having SO much fun and being so silly!)

Aren't we cute?

Getting Started

Now, you see, we're a grandma and grandpa and we've never blogged before. When our six year old grandson showed us a video that he and his dad made and put on YouTube, we decided we had better get ourselves updated and into this century! He loves to learn how to garden, to build things with grandpa and do lots of other fun projects with us. Then he shows us stuffed Webkinz dog named Curly who he takes care of online, and the games and activities he can do on PBS Kids.org. We were thinking that we could maybe learn some new things as well, so here we are in 2008 and doing our first blog! Just like we got Derric started with gardening, he is getting us started on blogging.
