Like A Chicken

I slept in almost an hour this morning.  It's about time I caught up on snoozing.  I've been running around like a chicken with .... well you probably know that old saying already.  I've not gotten back to washing and waxing the rig yet, so that's still on the list.

I wish I could sit around all day like the doves in the palm tree, but there's things to get done.  While I was gathering up paperwork to open a new bank account at Chase, mostly because Bank of America has now chosen to charge everyone (even us old folks) for banking services, low and behold my Credit Union came up with a phone App where I can make deposits by the airwaves.  It's about time!!  I'm still closing out B of A, but now I've got a few days in order to mark that one off the list.

Here's Miss Laila Chance riding Ely around the poles in the last gymkhana I attended.  I'm going to miss those girls!!

While doing a little more investigation into Mr. Bejarano, I found the Vail Preservation Society has lots of images in their database.  Here's one of Mr Bejarano and his son Francisco "Chico"  (riding on the back of a big pig) in front of their home, probably about the time he found the safe.  He worked in the 49 Mine until it closed down.  As with most men of the day, he did a little bit of everything to feed his family, which included five children.

I'll get back to that history later.  I made a quick run over to the quilter's house to drop off a couple more I had completed, to be greeted by these amazing blossoms.

I think this is the most fabulous tree ever.  A flowering cherry?  She came out and shook the branches, making it snow flower petals. 

Now I'm in a mad rush to hand stitch the binding on this quilt and get it mailed off.  In the meantime, the Relay for Life event is happening today.  Thank goodness there will be no pasta cooking.  This time the Elks are providing hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch, followed by barbecued chicken for dinner.  Luckily the Sheriff is Chef of the Day, meaning the food will be great.  All I have to do is set up and serve ... ALL DAY!!

And so I'm OFF again, as 10:00 comes mighty early around here.  Here's a nice Arizona sunset to help me relax before hitting the cook shack!!

I'm hoping by next Tuesday my chicken days will be over and I can relax even more.
