When the sun first arrived today, there were no clouds - now there is light, heavy clouds, and no sight of that great yellow-white orb we circle around.... I've got "Golden Oldie Rock" from the 1960s playing, both Lovey and Nedi are napping, and I'm starting to want to eat lunch. I've been to Safeway for some soft toilet tissue and Diet Coke; I've been to the bank and deposited a check; and I've been to the WalMart Neighborhood Market to purchase a nice ham steak, nuts for the squirrels and kitty food. I was excited when the WalMart store opened here in Boulder - that meant I did not have to travel to Longmont or Lafayette to buy Campbell's Pork & Beans. Can you believe that WalMart is the only store in the state of Colorado that sells Campbell's Pork & Beans? I stopped there Thursday a week ago, and found they had no baked beans whatsoever - I was told a 501c3 group had come in and purchased all the canned beans in the store. So I stopped there Monday, and again today, knowing they get shipments in on Wednesday and Saturday. Still no C's P&Bs..... But I saved a lot and got everything else I needed, so I'm pretty happy.
Fans of the racing mare Zenyatta are waiting for the arrival of her third foal, this one by the sire War Front. Cozmic One, her first colt by Bernardini, is now in training and under saddle at the Mayberry training farm near Ocala, Florida. Her second colt (by Tapit) was just named Ziconic, and is still enjoying his childhood at Lane's End Farm, where the Queen is awaiting her latest delivery. They are certainly a handsome family - and you have a chance to vote on which stallion you'd like to see Zenyatta bred back to on her website at: http://www.zenyatta.com/discussions#/discussion/1123/voting-for-z039s-next-boyfriend I'd like to see her bred to Giant's Causeway, myself....
The Spring Round-Up of the Chincoteague ponies on Assateague Island went very well last weekend. There are some nice foals already on the ground, and it looks like the stallions have been doing their jobs well. As you know, the Chincoteague Fire Department is made up of Volunteers; and we can always use money for equipment and training. Please visit the CVFD web store at http://www.cvfc3.com/store and see if there isn't something there that you just need to have. ..... Today is the second, and last day of the 2014 Easter Decoy Festival on Chincoteague. .....Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Chincoteague Island Theatre Company presents "Murder at the Banquet" by Robert LaVohn, with the co-producer being the Kiwanis Club of Chincoteague. This is a "Whodunit? Murder Mystery" after a meal catered by, and held at, Mr Paul's Restaurant at 5030 Chicken City Road. Meal includes soup, entree, and dessert. Tickets are $25 apiece. .... The Chincoteague Seafood Festival will be held on Saturday, 3 May. I don't know if any tickets are available, or not. It's usually a sold-out event well before the day. .... And 10 May will see the 20th Annual International Migratory Bird Celebration at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island. On Chincoteague Island, there will be the Chincoteague Earth Day Celebration and the Second Saturday Art Stroll - a chance to see finished art and visit with the artists.
