Sunflowers... and Us

Blake's sisters decided it was time to get family pictures. Consequently, my husband and I got our picture taken! (that is an amazing fact because he typically doesn't approve of getting any pictures taken:) )  I'll post more later, but for now, here is my favorite.

Fountain- with or without the Nook?

Everyone knows that I can get confused easily, But! We can get people injectors, we often travel on a Fountain Nook road, and once in a while, my husband is known to make a "house call" to fix some non-mobile motor for an Amish person. When a guy called to ask for some injectors to be tested, I told him that was fine and he could bring them by whenever he had a moment. He explained that they were in a Caterpillar and the guy who worked here had just stopped by his place another time to fix something- he's just over on Fountain and he's trying to help out his dad and if we tell him the injectors are bad, then he'll just buy the new ones from us! Easy! Great! Well. I explained the story to Blake and we agreed that house calls should not be done for work on Caterpillars- and especially since we don't even work on heavy equipment. So it was agreed and I called him back and politely explained that he was welcome to pull the injectors out and bring them on over because Blake could pop test them and tell him whether they were bad; sadly we couldn't come over there to check them. He thought and finally asked where we were because he wasn't sure if he'd ever been here. I began explaining the road and gave the address number. He acted confused and said "Yeah, but where? In Denver? He's the mexican right?" I told him the town and that no, Blake is not Mexican and he started laughing and said "Oh I'm in Fountain, Colorado! I must have bought something from him once because I had his number in my phone but I couldn't remember who he was! Guess I won't bring my injectors over. Thank you!" -Click-
   Well thank you. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Hope you are able to find someone who knows of a Fountain without the Nook. I guess I assumed too quickly that your out of state number meant that you didn't know the road names too well. And I'll try to assume less and be more observant next time! :)

New England

I'm thinking, but I'm not positive, that this rocky crag is where the Old Man on the Mountain used to reside.
Someone made mention to me today of how they have heard that Vermont is beautiful, but that they have never been there to see in person. It made me think of New England summertime beauty and so I took a moment to search for pictures. (One of my siblings owns the right to actually snapping these photos!)
