• Memorial Day Weekend

  With a really full and busy schedule these days, it was a real treat to have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.
  
  My Uncle flew in from Anchorage and his son and family drove over from California. Uncle Dick and Aunt Diana recently purchased their retirement home here in Vegas. This weekend was a work weekend for them, installing light fixtures and ceiling fans to make the house more of a home. Now, it is my job to find renters to care for the place until retirement.
  
  I love reconnecting with my cousins. Dan and Shawna have three very sweet girls. Their oldest is the same age as Mercedes and the girls haven't seen each other for two years...way too long.
  
  Before everyone headed off for home on Monday we all gathered at In 'n Out Burger for a meal.
  
  Silly girls:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Dan and Shawna with their youngest:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  And Bill and Uncle Dick in a heavy conversation about something:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Sunday evening the girls had a mounted meeting for 4H. It was a perfect night for horseback riding. Mercedes was disappointed that she didn't get a chance to ride this time. Here is Mikayla on Poco:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Monday evening I took the girls swimming. They slept well after playing in the water for a couple of hours. I enjoyed just sitting by the pool in the cool evening. It won't be long until our night time temps will be above 90 at this time of the evening so, I had to enjoy the cool breeze while I could.
  
  Today was back to school. I have lessons all planned out for the remainder of the school year. We will work on Math through the summer. Other than that, it is up to the girls when they finish the rest of their studies. I would like to see them finish up before the end of June. But, as I said, it is up to them...
  
  Little PeeWee is doing much better. He is drinking and we are certain that he is no longer dehydrated. He still gets out and runs around the cage in the evenings so while he is slower and sleeps more during the day, I think it is just age and not kidney failure as the vet suspected.
