Little Getaway

Saturday morning Angie and I took off for our overnight getaway. We just went to a larger town about 80 miles from here. It was a lot of fun - we had a lot of conversation, good food, laughs, and just got to spend time with each other. I'm looking forward to doing it again soon. Next time we'll choose another location and maybe make it a full weekend. It's hard for her to leave the kids. Being a stay at home Mom is like that, I remember when I was home full time while the girls were little. It's difficult to leave them even if you really think you want to some days :) Just having someone else do the cooking is a nice break for us.

It's been hot in our neck of the woods so outside activities are at a standstill. We finally got some rain on Sunday but we need more especially with this heat. I know a lot of people wait for this kind of weather but I'm not one of them.

Little Frank is planning on coming out tomorrow - Gramps will go pick him up. He's decided he wants a summer job so we'll see how it goes.

Will the rain come?

Been upper 60's the past couple days but I'm nervous about fire danger. We've had a lot of wind and no moisture to speak of for a while. So what does the neighbor do? Burns off his field, luckily it didn't go anywhere and the wind calmed down. I won't lie - it always scares me when people do "controlled burns"

Angie and I are planning a girls getaway in June. We decided on Brainerd since it's going to just be an overnighter. The room is booked and now it's just to decide what we want to do while we're there. When I went to Sioux Falls with Crystal in September we had almost 3 days and only had a couple things planned to do but we stayed busy and I bet the same will happen here. We're excited!

Ang and the boys were out to see us yesterday while Mike took Abbie to the Father/daughter dance at the school. She said they had Grand March and the whole shebang. I haven't seen too many pics yet but it sounded great.

P.S. They won
