Has it really been a month?

Soooo, I've been shirking my duty to inform all interested parties of the happenings of the Gibber-monster. This weekend we took him to watch the 7th Annual Stock-dog Trials here in town. (Think of "Babe," the movie of the sheep pig.) He loved the "Cadys" and I think he was secretly rooting for the sheep. He discovered dandelions and the act of blowing the seeds to the four corners of the yard. Gibbie and Cady are being best friends for the moment and she lets him climb all over her and give her huge hugs and head-butts.
Demya is finishing up the school year by auditioning students for her show choir and for drum major for this next year's marching band. We are performing an experiment with the Paonia marching band by combining the two bands, which are tiny, into a larger small band that has a larger selection of students in each section. We hope it will be a success and will allow us to be more competitive with the other bands in the area.
I have a new guitar student that will be starting in the next few weeks. I bought a Wales rugby ball that Gibbie and I have been tossing and kicking around for almost a week now. He thinks it's a great toy because he's never quite sure which direction it will bounce when he throws it. He constantly tries to share our new ball with Cady. Fortunately she is not interested in it or it would not have survived the week.
I will attempt to keep this blog updated in the coming months of vacation. 'Til then, Bye.
