The day before I left for Africa I was backing out of my garage hit a box (with wheels on it) of shoes that pushed into the freezer the freezer pushed the garage sink and Voilá the sink was knocked totally off the wall, plumbing and all.  That was a proud moment.  A couple days before I left I took  Ari and Halle on my new favorite hiking loop up and over suspension bridge across bonneville shoreline trail.  There were tons of wildflowers everywhere up there! This iris is in my front yard but very close to the house and kind of on the side hidden so I am giving it some attention.
While we were in Africa, B took the girls to Disneyland, the beach and to visit Master D (sadly they didn’t get any photos with him). Before they went to Disneyland B was taken off another med completely and it really affected his walking – so they had a very good excuse to get to the front of some of the lines with him in the electric chair.  I also enlisted Lelu’s help with all of my property management, home management and various other ridiculous amounts of paperwork.  She does not love being “an adult”.
