Dear Matthew,
I arrived in Colorado in the middle of last week. Man, is this place beautiful. From my inn, I can see the mountains, they still have a lot of snow!! We had snow the day I got here--4 inches--but it was warm and slushy and melted by the next day!
Miss Terri thought I looked very very handsome in my Rockies uniform! She says we will go to a game soon. We couldn't go to the home opener, though, because Miss Terri had to work. I got to go to work with her on Friday. She had to do something called a workshop, I think she had to earn our dinner, because we started at 5 PM on Friday night, and we played some tag games, and met some cool new people. We left as soon as that workshop was over and headed to the Texas panhandle. Miss Terri says that it is in Texas, but is really known as the badlands of Oklahoma. All I know is, it is 5 hours away, and we were in 3 states that day--we started in Colorado, crossed over into Oklahoma for 40 miles, and then crossed into what Miss Terri calls "the great state of Texas".
Miss Terri's daughter, Lyndsey, and her kids were there too, at some place called Papa ERs. It was funny, because the boy's name was ER, too, so I got confused by that. Miss Terri said just to call them BiggER and LittlER. LittlER is cute, but he did NOT want anything to do with Miss Terri. Macy, the little girl, is much more fun--she LOVES Miss Terri.
Anyway, we went horseback riding and we saw goats and baby goats, which Miss Terri called "kids". We made mexican food for dinner. Also, LittlER got a John Deere bicycle. He can't ride it, but Miss Terri pushed him all around the neighborhood! I saw all of this from Miss Terri's purse, but she forgot to take a picture. So, we stopped on the way back from the Texas panhandle and took this picture of me...can you see how windy it is? Luckily, Miss Terri had a good hold on me!!
I am soooo excited--Miss Terri says that tomorrow we are going to a Nuggets game! She is making me some new clothes to wear--she says she wants me to look like the Birdman--I don't know who that is, but I have to get some tatoos and a sweatband, so I am thinking I will look pretty cool.
And guess what else??? On Thursday, Miss Terri says we are going to fly on a plane to some place ELSE in Texas called San Antonio. She says we will visit some people called Benny boy, Brookie, and Eli Blevins. She says maybe I can ride the mini horses while I am there and work in the garden. THEN we are going to Austin for a conference. Miss Terri says that is the capital of Texas. So, we are going from the capital of Colorado to the capital of Texas and back!
I am having fun, but I miss you! Talk to you soon,
Flat Matthew.
