Our Desert Homestead

Still down!

Our computer is still down but my husband figured out how to plug in the laptop and I can get online.  We need to take the time and money and fix our problem, but just have not done it yet.  We may just get another laptop.  I guess we are not really very up to date at this time. 

I just came home from an 8 day - 3,000 mile round trip drive to Minnesota with my Dad and my daughter.  It was not a fun trip but rather a trip to help my sister with her marriage problems.  Some things came up that we felt it necessary to be with her.  It was hard to drive through so many neat places and not be able to stop and sight see a little bit.  Plus, we hit the early snowfall in North Dakota and Minnesota and then some snow on the way home in Montana.  Butte had a little snow.  It was strange to experience 25 degrees in October and come home to upper 60s.  My tomatoes have died - I guess we had some cold nights while I was away. 

Tomorrow we are flying to Las Vegas for the weekend.  WE are going with some friends that have asked us to come with them (they paid!) and we are doing a vow renewal with them.  It will be an interesting and fun trip.  I have never had a desire to go to Vegas but I have heard we will find plenty of good clean fun.  We have some friends who live there and will also see them and hopefully go to church with them Sunday morning before we fly home.  Then - I can't wait to get back home and be a mom and wife and get on with my life.  Just when our Fall was getting going well - BAM - big interruptions.  But - God is in control so I do not fret.  Just desire for my normal life again.

I know what you mean.

I hope you have a great time in Vegas and that you get some rest when you return; a chance to slip back into your normal routine.

Hope all is well with your sister, or that it will be better soon!
