Hop Sing has Gained Weight:
Sorry Bonanza fans, but Hop Sing has gained weight. The cook at the Ponderosa is now a 200 lb guy with curly hair and a thick Colorado accent, but man can he cook. Great food the whole stay including the Gyros.
Thanks Ben, Hoss, Little Joe, Adam, and, of course, Hop Sing.
Go Rockies!!!
Great Saturday night at Coors field – saw the Rockies beat the Dodgers 12-9. High altitude translates into lots of home runs and deep fly balls. The Rockies dug a 3-0 hole in the top of the first, but evened things up with a three-run homer in the bottom of the 2nd. We got our name on the Jumbo-Tron, too.
These two are waiting for a call from the Rockies front office.
Now we know what the little white thing is – it’s a baseball!
Fun!!
Back to Texas:
On Sunday, the day started very early with breakfast at the Ponderosa. We made our getaway shortly thereafter and headed back to Colorado Springs to retrieve several items that were left behind in the hotel on our first pass through there. While we were hoping to retrieve some wallets and battery chargers, we weren’t leaving that LaQuinta until we had Mrs. Harkey’s makeup kit. She had been without it for nearly a week, bless us ALL.
We had lunch in Raton. Our bus pulled up about 4 minutes behind two busses of boy scouts. Timing is everything. Our stay, therefore, was longer then anticipated. However, we persevered.
At approximately 2:41.36 pm, we crossed the state line and entered the great State of Texas. A great roar filled the bus, which to me, indicates (1) the kids love their state and (2) they were extremely glad to be home.
Showtime
We arrived in Canyon, just a little behind schedule, but completed set up and rehearsals in time to enjoy a great meal by the 5th and 6th graders from their First United Methodist Church.
The show went great. Several of the cast had family members in the crowd. What a pleasant treat. The crowd seemed to enjoy it and appeared to be touched by the message.
On a personal note, you can see that Hannah has really enjoyed having her Daddy on the bus. We, apparently, have grown very close.
Everyone else seems to be having a great time. At least that’s what they tell us. They can’t wait to get home. I think their money supply is running low! These kids have been awesome. Never in my dreams could I have expected they would behave so well. They are pleasant to travel with and have represented their families well. I am extremely proud of each and every one of them. I consider it an awesome privilege to have been a part of this group.
We’ll see you soon.
