Words fail me to truly express my sincere thanks and gratefulness to my dear families and friends for all the cards, e-mails, phone calls, verbal greetings for my 80th birthday. It seems that I celebrated all week!
Melissa Peterson reminded me that I am now an “octogenarian”. I hadn’t thought of that fact, but now I rejoice, since I remember that I have had a good and blest life.

After a warm, dry weekend, the coming week brings an increasing chance of thunderstorms to eastern Colorado for continued drought relief, and a brief cool-down later in the week.
