Hello Gary, this is your friend JR speaking. If my mom and dad go to the 50th anniversary of Imagine! over in the Harvest House Hotel then I’ll meet you there. I know it’s on Sunday, the 4th. Otherwise I’m going to the Red Rocks, I’ve got to go see the Steve Miller Band with the Doobie Brothers, just to let you know that. Talk to you hopefully after Saturday.

This is Christopher. I’m getting ready to pack and going to camp for a week, from the 21st to the 26th. I’m going to have a good time so please write an article about it. Good bye.

Robert Works On His Vocalization

This blog post came to us from Robert in an email. Robert takes various classes through Imagine!'s  CORE/Labor Source department and in one of his classes, his instructor Stephanie provides him with some assistance and sends an email to us with what Robert writes. Robert seems like a great candidate for having his own email account at some point.

I’m really getting clear in the singing class and I speak nice and clearly away from the microphone. I’m speaking where they can hear me. I really sound good and I asked the director Kirk how I sound. He said that I sound great and great is what I want to hear. Hopefully you can see me at my upcoming performance at the Fringe festival. So I have to get back with him on that date and I’ll tell you what it is.

Thanks, Signing off - Robert Strieby

John's Update: Cooking Class, Wildlife Experience, And More

This blog post came to us via an audio email from John who lives at the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome in Boulder. John sent this on July 5th to his friend Gary, who was out of town on vacation until yesterday. During this week we’ll catch you up on a few more audio emails that came in from residents at the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome during the past couple of weeks.

I really like the way that you came over and took the photographing (of residents waving the flag for the 4th of July). It was really cool. Anyway, I’m going somewhere tomorrow with Just for the Fun of It. It's the Wildlife Experience in Parker.

I had a good cooking class; I had baked potato, a little chili, and some salad. I was in the ACL after Safeway near Louisville/Lafayette. So, anyway, I hope that you understand that I had a wonderful 4th of July already, and I hope that you did too. Don’t forget to come by next time. See ya, bye bye.
