Rally day 1

September 28 – There wasn’t anything really going on this morning at the rally as today is actually the first day.  After breakfast we battled cold and rain and went to Wal-Mart.  I dropped my prescription to be filled and while they worked on it I picked up the items on my short list.  We were in and out in 45 minutes!

couple from Illinois, so the other guests were states surrounding Colorado.  There was a western duo performing right after.  They played well but didn’t sing so well.  We left at 7 so I could see the season opener of Grey’s Anatomy tonight.  It was a 2 hour show, awesome!  Then we watched a lot of FOX which after a while I get tired of the commentator and guest speaking over each other and just sounding rude.  Too much for me to comprehend!  Time to turn it off and read!  Much more relaxing!
