I'll start with the most recent first and work back a bit.
Stacy just got back last night from another three day trip to Boise. Her second one this month.
Last weekend was Stacy's birthday and we spent a couple of nights out in Kalispell, Montana like we had done in 2009. Stacy did some shopping at a couple of quilting stores and we did some other shopping and saw a movie too. We saw the animated movie "Rango". I had wanted to see it and time wise we chose that one over the other we wanted to see, "The Lincoln Lawyer" since it was on much later. Rango was a disappointment, I think had it been shorter and more off beat like the earlier Shrek movies it would have been much better. It starts out like it will be good then it becomes a standard western movie just with the animal characters. I also think that since it's advertised as a kids movie it should be a kids movie! I know that of the few kids in the theater the one in front of us lost interest very early on in the film.
Stacy got to see The Lincoln Lawyer while she was in Boise. Yes, it's the one we should have seen!
On this trip we were surprised how much water and snow there still was out that way. I read that in our area the snowpack was 110% of normal which is great since earlier in the winter it was touch and go whether it would be less or more than a "normal" winter. But really what is normal any more??
On the way to Kalispell though so much water and still snow pack. Many farms literally lakes due to flooding from winter. I didn't take too many photos this trip because it was so rainy for the most part. And on the trip back it was wind and snow showers all the way. All that snow on April 18th!
Today, April 22nd, happy Earth Day, and we just talked to Sean. He got injured at his job. Smacked in his eye by a piece of an engine cowling, in the photo he sent to my phone he's going to be sore! It looks like he lost in a boxing match. He still loves living in Hawaii though.
While Stacy and I were in Montana, Sandy, her husband a thousands of their friends were at the Coachella music festival near Palm Springs. Sandy said it was around the 100 degree temp, in Montana and back home, forties TOPS!
Some other family news, brother Mike got a job upgrade (promotion) that includes at least a year living in England, at the companies expense, and he gets his wife to live with him there too!
My father continues on his health roller coaster. I'm not sure about the ratios of good and bad days but there are days of each.
Even though it has been more winter like than spring like, with the longer days and somewhat milder mid forties temps, the world is starting to get green again up here! So soon enough back to the weekly yard work and soon a garden again too.
Well, more later. Maybe soon too!
