In Trinidad Colorado, Labor Day means the Trinidad Round-Up. This is a rodeo that has taken place in this diminutive little town for the past 100 years. No lie -- this year is the Trinidad Round-Up's 100th anniversary!
OK, so we haven't been over to the fair grounds yet this weekend, but we expect to tomorrow, Sunday. In the meantime, we've taken a walk downtown.
One of the lovely little treats of living in our 1923 home is that it's one block off of Main Street. Yesterday, Friday, we walked the 4 blocks down to the bank. We then walked 1 block over to see a friend whom we haven't seen in quite a while. I had a package that needed to be mailed so we then walked 1-1/2 blocks over to the post office. We walked back toward home down Main Street and perused a store that I've wanted to see. Then we walked home. All the while, we held hands.
Life in Trinidad... I'm so happy here.
Saturday evening, we went over to a friend's house for a BBQ. We arrived a little late because I took a little nap first. (Another perk of a less hectic lifestyle.) When we arrived there must have been at least 50 people laughing, talking, eating, drinking and having a good time. Jeff was busy at the grill and Jeanine was making sure all of their guests had plenty of food.
DJ joined us. He was here for the entire weekend. It was really good to have him here. He just relaxed with no agendas most of the weekend.
Back to the party... when the sun started to go down Jeff lit a bonfire. That's one of the many nice things about living on 35+ acres... you can have a fire pit and there's no one to complain about it. When it was completely dark we were treated to fireworks. These weren't just ordinary sparklers. These were full-blown shoot up in the air and explode into colorful star fireworks. Jeff works in the explosives field, so we were all in good hands.
