WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON HERE

Kyle came to spend some time with us. (I hope he doesn't get too bored!) Thursday we drove to Las Vegas. We had decided to get tickets to some of the Mountain Conference Basketball Tournament games. BYU was playing. We saw them play Thursday night and they won. We stayed in Vegas Thursday night and saw them play again Friday night. BYU was unable to pull off a win in a close game. We were glad we went and had good time. I was feeling pretty good. We even had time for a little shopping. We were unable to get a place to stay Friday so had to drove home after the game.


I think Brian told you he has a little garden plot. Here he is getting the water pipes in. We figure it will cost us plenty to see if we can actually grow something. But, it is a project for Brian to see if he can revive his farmer skills from his youth.

Saturday was quite the day here. A nasty storm blew in, and it was really something. I have never seen the wind blow that hard. There was a little rain, but it was the wind that really took over. It was so loud blowing around the house. The wind knocked out our satellite so we lost our TV, phone and internet. There was some sad faces around here as there was plenty of basketball action that the guys missed on TV. We sent Kyle up on the roof today to see if he could reposition the dish. We did get the internet back on, but no TV. They will come tomorrow, hopefully. This is what we have been up to.

Glad that you are feeling well. that is nice you all got away for a couple of days.

I find that kind of funny to think of Kyle up on the roof in the middle of a wind storm.

I am glad that you were feeling well enough to shop; hopefully, you will be up to a bit of shopping when we are there. I know Bronte is looking forward to seeing a real mall again!
And I hope all of the gardening pays off. Hopefully someday we will have our own yard again, and you can come teach us how to do it!
Love you both.

I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Vegas as well. That must have been some serious wind if it's been the worst you've seen, as it's been pretty darn windy there just when we've visited. And if the Huskies were on tv, Mike would be up on the roof in the windstorm too.

If Dad is doing gardening there, does that mean he's not going to want to do my yard work when he visits?

Just to let you know, we didn't send Kyle up on the roof in the wind storm. We waited until the next day to try something.

We have been enjoying all the basketball as well! WVU won all their games after a few game winning shots!

Glad you felt well when you were in Vegas.

I was thinking of having a little garden plot as well. I would have to keep it pretty simple. I was thinking it would be a good faith value project for personal progress.
