Back To Every Day Living

Has it really been over 2 weeks since we've returned from Mexico?  It has!!  And life is back to normal after getting all that "stuff" taken care of when you've been gone for a long time!

We checked out Jaime and Brad's new house which is currently being built and caught up with them over dinner!  Next was a quick trip up to Jessi and Gary's house to see everyone and to get adjustments from Jessi!!  (yes, I missed them while we were gone!!)  This next weekend we head up to Ft. Collins to see Jill and Robby and the kids!

We've seen 4 sets of friends since we returned (dinner with a couple of them) and I sure loved getting back in my routine of a massage every other week!!  (totally missed that while I was gone!!)  I worked the food pantry, stocked the house with groceries once again and got a haircut.  Of course dealing with the mail after 2 months is always interesting but most of it was junk anyway!  Since I go on medicare in July, the amount of medicare supplement mail was amazing!

And Glenn?   He is busy finishing up the shop so he can get the certificate on it, moving all of his garden and greenhouse things back behind the shop, starting seedlings for his greenhouse and building raised beds, working on a tractor of a friend and fixed a motorcycle of another friend yesterday, and generally doing a lot of clean up around the house!

Yesterday we went to the Springs and watched Kylan play soccer - always a fun time except for the fact that we dressed way too warm!!  It was 30 degrees when we left the house and I should have known better than to wear a long sleeved black shirt!!  But it was darn cold when we left early to eat breakfast downtown and to drop off a load of heavy iron that was on the trailer that we pulled down!  Another item to cross off the list!!

We enjoyed watching Kylan and sitting with Rayna who had brought him down! (yes, she has her license now!!)

Kylan and Rayna came out to our house after the soccer game and we enjoyed "game" time!!

Are we home now for the summer?  Of course not!!  But we don't stray TOO far from Colorado during our favorite camping and ATVing time!  We'll be heading to New Mexico for a few days in early May for a fishing trip - we are excited to babysit Gwyn for a week while Gary, Jessi, Evan and Kenzie attend Globals for Destination Imagination - and we have our Iowa trip planned which includes another mini trip for Patty and I, heading to eastern Iowa and doing a 2 day riverboat cruise!

Soon it will be time to plan our Sisters Trip next fall AND another trip to Walt Disney World with Jill's!!  Life is busy!

It sounds like a busy summer for you guys! We will be back out to Colorado May 18th for a couple of weeks getting the kids packed up for their next move. Marshall Islands! Talk about the other side of the world! Maybe we can get together, although it will be busy with 3 sets of movers coming in for the big relocation.
