2200 miles

That is the total I have driven this past week.  Needless to say,  I am tired of sitting in a car and tired of buying very expensive gas!  I left Phoenix last Monday and spent the night in Dalhart, TX.  Tuesday I drove to Matt's home in Omaha to spend the night.  He took me out for a birthday dinner at the Texas Roadhouse and then we went for a drive looking at beautiful lake homes in the area.  We then watched the movie Hangover before calling it a night.  That movie was quite hilarious. 

Wednesday morning we went out for breakfast before I took off for the farm.  It was good to get back to the farm and Mark but the weather was really cold!  Matt said I came home a month too soon and I have to agree with him.  Hopefully it will begin a warming trend soon!

I was home Thursday and then Friday I decided it was time to hit the road again and I drove the 320 miles to Peoria, IL to see Drew and Kayley.  Megan had signed up for a March of Dimes walk in honor of Kayley so I couldn't miss that!  I had a fun week-end with my grandchildren and hated to leave them come Monday morning. 

Now I am back at the farm and waiting for it to become warm enough so I can start working in my gardens.  I am anxious to finally plant a big garden after a 4 year layoff!  I just need the weather to cooperate.  There were frost warnings last night so it isn't time to do so quite yet.

Some pictures and a short video of my Peoria week-end.
Andy "said" he was digging a garden plot but with his mother-in-law visiting I wondered exactly what he was digging!

Ah, thankfully it WAS a garden plot!  :-)

Kayley thought it was fun up there!

Drew is old enough to know that this can't be safe!
