Wow, well we did have our share of rain yesterday, but that is good.

Today, we had spots of light rain, but that did not hamper us getting out to do a few things.

I made breakfast then we headed out to the Titan Missile Museum, but on the way there, we saw another place that had tours, the ASARCO copper mine.

The Titan Missile Museum Tour was interesting.  It is amazing how much money is spent just to be a deterrent.

We stopped by at the ASARCO copper mine, and had just missed the bus tour, the next one was not going to be for another 1.5 hours so we decided to just do a walk around and not the bus tour.

For dinner made us sausages, vegetables and perogies – as usual another very yummy dinner.  I am going to have to stop eating to lose some weight LOL.

Special people today – to the many people who have brought us down the right path, parents, teachers, fellow workers and bosses.  What else is there to say, except “THANKYOU”.
