Dog Days of Summer

Well I just got back last night from taking Cheyenne back to Colorado after summer vacation. We really has a good time and I was sad to see her go. Had our usual drama with Michelle and it was nothing but a fight with her calling the police, screaming matches between her and Cliff, and finally her getting scared we would take her back to court and all her felony convictions would come out so she finally played nice. In fact when I dropped Cheyenne off she invited me "onto the driveway" and we talked for about a half hour. It was her usual trying to justify her actions but she actually did thank me for taking good care of Cheyenne and thanked me for all the nice things I had done for her, so it's progress of some kind and that is nice for a change. I just feel so sorry for Cheyenne caught in her mother's web. It is beginning to show and that's the sad part but I told Cliff this is the part where we just have to hold on and pray for the best. Let her know we are here and love her and provide as stable an environment as we can. She is such a beautiful little girl I just pray she can come thru it all without the scars being too deep.





Cheyenne saying goodby to Digger for the summer
Cheyenne on the ride back showing me her mustache. She wants to bring her vampire suit out and go back down on Fremont street and be one of the costume characters that hang out down there. She is to little to realize they are mostly weirdo's and crack heads. Some are legit but most of them not so much LOL
Got to see Alecia and she spent the night with me. The next morning we went peach and corn hunting. Cliff was laughing and asked if we had bagged our limit. I told him we were out of tags so guess we were done. We bought the peaches next door to Lon and Marlene's so we dropped by and I told Marlene how happy I was that her breast lumps were not malignant. She is still having problems and did not look good at all. It's worrisome. Just hope and pray she is alright. Alecia loves her Grammie so much it would kill her to have anything happen to Grammie.

After we got our peaches and corn we went to Main Street Bagels and had a yummy bagel and coffee well Alecia had a smoothie (had to get that sugar ha) but I had "hot coffee". Then we hugged and said good by. I thought it would be Thanksgiving before I saw her again but now it looks like I am flying back over on Labor Day weekend. Dad Cole has called a family meeting and asked me to try to be there he said it was real important to him so I got a flight for 49.00 and will fly in on Sunday, Dad and Mom Cole will pick me up at the airport, then Cliff will be there on Wednesday and we will have the meeting Wed night and we will come home on Thursday morning unless Cliff wants to leave Wed night then we will do that and I can drive home
