Associated Press Named Grand Junction in the Top Ten for Personal Income Growth

They were quick to point out that the oil boom was the reason behind the growth in 6 of the 10 cities. I don't think any one who lives here will be surprised to find out we were one of the six cities mentioned. That is good news for our local economy and our Real Estate market.

The Barbecue was a Success!!!

The barbecue to benefit the Roice-Hurst Humane Society was a huge success. Not only did we sell a bunch of hotdogs, but we managed to find a new home for one very lucky dog. Not bad for four hour event! Thanks again to Ace Hardware in Clifton(next to City Market). They supplied all the hotdogs, buns, and soda. We were then able to sell the hotdogs for a donation and let me tell you there are some generous folks in Clifton. I, also, need to thank the men at the grill. It was a warm day, a hot job, and they smiled the entire time. I've included some pictures of our day.

Yeuston - The Adopted Dog

This is the dog that was adopted at the BBQ to benefit the Roice-Hurst Humane Society on Saturday. Her name is Yeuston, but you can call her Yeustus. She is a very sweet dog.
