Mark left early Sunday morning for his drive back to Iowa. It started off poorly, coming upon an accident on I-17 which brought traffic to a halt. Once he got past that he had clear sailing until New Mexico and another accident slowed him down. Needless to say he arrived in Dalhart, TX much later than normal and was pretty tired! To top it off, the restaurant that we normally eat at has been closed so he just said "I am going to bed"! Hope he got a good breakfast yesterday morning!
He arrived at Matt's in Omaha yesterday afternoon and as I type he is now on his way to the farm. I will be interested in hearing how it looks. Does the lawn need baling due to all this warm weather they have been experiencing? Are my flowers ready to bloom? Is it too late to plant my garden? Someone on Facebook said their garden was all in. Mine won't be in until mid-May. :-( Oh well, considering it is Iowa they could still get snow!
Sister Jan arrives Thursday and Sharon arrives on Sunday. I am so excited to see them both. We are doing a hike in the Grand Canyon to Havasupai Falls on the 6th-8th so that will be our highlight of their visit. It is quite a trek but worth every step once you see the falls. Coming out of the canyon isn't quite as pleasant as going down, though! We are going with a number of gals from here so it will be a fun three days! Many are old friends of Sharon when she lived here so this will be extra special for her.
Well, sister Jan is a clean freak so I better go start dusting and vacuuming! Just kidding, Jan. I really am not going to do that. It looks like a good day to hike instead! :-)
Will post pics from our Grand Canyon hike upon our safe return....
