Gone but not forgotten

Trip to Moab, Utah

I just wanted to post about our recent trip to Moab, Utah. 

I love the beautiful red rock formations, and we found some neat treasures this year.  We found a wonderful hiking trail called "Negro Bill's Canyon" and it is full of wonderful places to paint, sketch, catch crawdads, butterflies, look at the plant life, and the bunnies hopping around in the brush.  The water in this canyon is so out of place with the desert, that you forget where you are.

It was very relaxing, and alot of fun.  We camped at Kane Creek, and roasted hotdogs and smores over the fire.  It was so dark, that you could see all the stars out, and we saw a lot of shooting stars.  It was so much fun, I didn't want to come home.

If you'd like to see pictures of our trip visit my other blog:

Garden

My garden is set to go in on the 30th.  My dad is getting a patch of his 100 acres ready for my plants.

The farm has been flooded due to spring melting, and we haven't been able to get down there too much.  But it's finally starting to dry out thanks to the dry, hot weather we've been having lately.

I can't wait to sink my teeth into a juicy watermelon or cantaloupe that has been vine ripened.  YUMMM!

We are planning a camping trip over Memorial Day weekend, and looking forward to it.

I hope everyone else is okay!

Hello?

Trying to find out if anyone is out there.  I keep posting new entries, and visiting other blog sites and leaving comments, but nobody has left me a comment in a LONG time.

Has everyone been kidnapped by aliens?    LOL

Taxi Service

Well, I have two teens with no car....SO...I have officially become the taxi service!  LOL 

My 17yo is saving up for a car, and my 15yo is trying to get a job.  He applies at jobs every day for the last week, but no luck yet.  I think its because he tells them he won't work on the Sabbath day.

So, until my kids make enough money for their own cars, insurance and gas money, I am it!  The price of gas here is $2.80 a gallon.  I put in five dollars, and it's like rubbing my finger on the gas spout and flicking it at the tank.  It's a joke! 

Luckily, my 17yo helps out whenever she can with gas money.

Anyone else being a taxi service?  When does it end?  Do I want it to?

Shark Dissection and Politics

My boys went with their dad the other day to dissect a dog shark, and they had fun with the other kids in their co-op.  While dad did this, I took my two little boys to the lake to catch butterflies and dragonflies.  We also found some mint leaves, and nibbled on them as we watched the planes take off.  It was a fun day.

I am a delegate for my political party, and am finding out alot about politics.  I am beginnng to think it resembles dissecing a shark.  I am trying to find out (before I vote tomorrow) who is slinging mud, and who is telling the truth.  I am dissecting a shark in a way!  LOL

So, this is what I am doing.  As soon as this is over, I intend to concentrate on getting my book published.

How is everyone else?
