I used to really hate Mondays but they aren't so bad now. When I arrive Drew greets me with a beautiful smile and Sox gives me a mini-bath in greeting. My Ogden greeting usually consisted of something similar to "the server is down" or "e-mail is NOT working" or "Accelerated Reader is down at Howe". The people reporting these things usually said so with great distress and urgency in their voices so it was not a great way to start one's day. I am glad those days are behind me! Life is much more peaceful now. :-)
Mark arrived back at our farm last Wednesday afternoon. He spent his first night in Tucumcari, NM and the second night in Lincoln, NE. He didn't think Matt was available that night so he didn't go on to Omaha to see him. He was pooped and wanted to quit for the night. Turns out Matt was free so he just drove to Lincoln and had dinner with his dad. That was nice. I wish I could have had dinner with them, too! I think Mark is still used to this Phoenix weather. He said it is very cold in Iowa and so dreary. You can use a lot of adjectives to describe AZ weather, but dreary is definitely not one. It is almost sunny and cheery every single day. I hope Iowa's weather shapes up soon so he can get the crops in the ground.
