Medically boring

 I like that diagnosis given to me by my physician. I went in last week for my annual wellness check. I am so blessed. I am "medically boring." There is nothing amiss in any of my blood work or any of the Little evaluations that he makes. I did have blood work done the previous week, and we discussed that there. My liver, kidney, thyroid, etc things are functioning well. 

Like I said, boring. And I couldn't be happier.

MORE Little Liebhardt's! Flowers, and Fingers

 Nick, Kaylee and kids stopped by briefly on their way to St. George for Spring break. Too bad it's going to be chilly and cool! 

Tonight, Mike and I attended the oratorio, "Lamb of God" by Rob Gardner. Beautifully done. Our community is so amazing. Talented. Generous. 

Today , I 

1) Played pickleball for 1 1/2 hours, 

That's a bruise on my index finger from hitting a ball with my finger instead of the paddle. It kind of stung for a bit when I first did it, but doesn't hurt now.

2) went to TWO stores

3) re-wrapped grapes in chocolate egg foil for April Fools Day tomorrow. Luckily, some grandkids dropped by to test them out for me. Haha

4) Rode my bike UP hill to Cindy Williams house for lunch with her and two friends ( Georgia Beth Thompson and Cindy's other ministering sister.Sis Calendar?)

5) was rather tired from that ride in the wind and took an afternoon nap after the kids headed down to St. George.

6) was in the bathroom a lot with a tummy ache. Guess I ate too many chocolates :-/

7) visited my Mom, but ForGot to bring her the springtime bouquet I picked for her. 

8) I planted columbine seeds in a pot. They are from the seed library.

9) watered my front flowerbeds. I need to get a bucket and water the pots on the far side of the driveway. The hose doesn't reach that far..

We may get some rain and snow in coming days, which would be great. I planted seeds for peas in the garden in Saturday. I hope they grow! They are hardy and shouldn't mind the freeze.

Then Mike and I went to the concert. 

Wow. Full day. I even cleaned a few toilets😃

A day with Littlest Liebhardt's

 We arrived in Herriman on Friday night, just in time for dinner. Lasagna!

Baths, games, movie ("Wild Robot") bedtime...we were tired. Ha.

Saturday after lunch, Mike went grocery shopping at WinCo, the rest of us went to Oquirr Lake at Daybreak and enjoyed a brisk walk or scooter around a section of the lake. It was cool and cloudy, but dry. Then to a fun , new, big playground that was nearby.

A movie, some dinner,  basketball game that Mike watched, and then we were on our way home to cedar city. Arrival: 12:15 a.m. on Sunday morning. So nice to be home, safe and sound in our own home. That was an 11 day trip! 

Denver stay

 Our flight from San Antonio got in late on Wednesday. On Thursday, Mom's went to work, kids played, Mike and I visited Troy and Gayela, had lunch with them, then returned to Rossman's to "Tend"kids while Katie and Casey went to a company dinner Thursday evening. Hailey had a violin lesson-- that we all forgot about:-/ .  The twins played "Throw Throw Burrito" with me, and the older boys had friends over. I did laundry and made Banana Bread. Some more games. 

We headed out for Salt Lake City on Friday morning. What a drive! So much wind. But, in truth, we were just relieved our new car didn't suffer any bunny terrorist attack and damage while parked at the Rossman's. It's happened to them,!! More than once, and even to the loaner. Yikes. Rabbit(s) damaged/destroyed the wiring in their engine while parked outside overnight. Multiple times! All to the tune of thousands of dollars of repair bills, unfortunately. So sad. And we are relieved it didn't happen to OUR car while there. 🐇

 Whew!

We did see an unusual procession on the freeway that morning as we left Denver. The first overpass we noticed had firefighters standing on top of their ladder struck, all in a row, several trucks on the bridge overpass. I did not get a photo of that.  The next overpass, the officers were standing along the fence , facing North. Then we could see it was for a . . . We didn't know what?!. A dump truck funeral?. I honestly could not tell. 

Emergency vehicles on the overpass.

With people lined up at the north-facing fence.

A line of large trucks heading up a LOT of traffic.

Those didn't look like fire trucks to me, but they were three abreast, hindering traffic flow. So I took photos. 

This is what I later found on the Internet:

It was, indeed, a funeral procession. 

And we saw a Buc-ee's on I-25 North of Denver, too! Colorado's  first, the the furthest West location. It's the little things, and we (I?) apparently are obsessed with 

Buc-ee's. Ha. Mike even offered to stop there for me, but I passed on the offer. 😆

San Antonio, Last Day

 

Gorilla weights

Was this really a 12 inch Pizza? I just happened to have a measuring tape, so Damian measured it. 13 inches. And we had TWO of them, please a couple of sandwiches, chips, appetizers. And a big box of leftovers.

A yeti.

 This was the Dark Side Pizza restaurant. Movie props galore.

 The crape myrtle trees are so bare!

A new fence between properties included a hole in the fence to let a branch grow! 

And I got a sunburn the day before!

Wednesday night, we headed to the airport, turned in our rental car and headed to Denver. Katie brought us back to her house. 

And our San Antonio Trip with Hayden was complete.
