Mother's Day trip to Vegas

Living in Hawaii is GREAT BUT you have to spend lots of money on jet fuel if you want to visit family on the mainland.  I CANNOT miss Mother's Day!!  Plus it was Alex's 1st birthday so perfect time for a short visit.  I had a great time not only seeing my family but my friends.  I learned that short visits are the best.  I spent two days with Janelle and the rest of the time with my girlfriend, Lana, which lives just down the street from Michelle.  I was able to visit with the entire group and still pulled of a dinner with each of my children and their family.  Everyone saw my mom on Mother's day.  She was a bit overwhelmed but seemed to enjoy the visit.  She does not like going outside of Acacia Springs much but I did take her to a lunch.  No shopping this time.

I am also learning how to garden!!  I have planted a small veggie and wildflower container garden in our outside shower.  Its a nice small place that should get enough light to grow a few veggies.  We have plants hanging and lined all around the the area.  We were able to find a connection to our shower head so we can easily water the plants.  It is quit fun...............Michelle and Joe inspired me when I visited them and we ate a delicious salad and made drinks from fresh Mint! 

So Im back home now.............Playing lots of tennis and enjoying our great weather.
