And it's April! What a week....

Well, we're back, and it's been quite a week.  We went to visit our son in Minnesota.  Oh boy...  He's not one for sight seeing - he took us to hardware stores.  :)  One store we are thinking really needs to come to Utah... Menard's.  Have you heard of it??  It's amazing...kind of like a mix of Home Depot and Walmart - (without food or clothes).  Wonder if they deliver?  :) 

It was good to see him, his little studio apartment and stuff.  The weather was okay the day we spent with him, but it snowed the whole drive across South Dakota and then when we left it rained the whole way back to Rapid City.  sigh...  So we don't have much of a perception of South Dakota other than the clouds and excess water - there was sooo much water!!  We were told not to venture into Nebraska, so we didn't.  It was kind of crazy to drive through Wyoming and have it be drier.  There was lots of snow fields, but no standing water like there had been in the other two states.  And then when we got home it was green!  It was really nice.  The only problem is that we don't really feel rested, having been on the road every day, lol.  But yesterday was nice and relaxing and so we're ready to get back to it!!

I wish I could tell you there was all sorts of fun things to look forward to today, but there isn't.  The only thing worth mentioning was it's National Empanada day - which are basically anything from savory to sweet pockets that are usually fried.  The other thing was Draw a Bird day.  For those of you who love birds, this should be fun.  I was reminded I need to get the hummingbird feeders out and filled for our little friends to come eat!

That's the only thing about going away for the week - we have so much work to do in the yard now.  Is that how your days are spent too?
Well, hope you have a great day, and an awesome week!!
