Resting Up

I sure was tired today! One thing I'm beginning to realize more and more. I don't snap back the way I used to. It just seems to take a little longer every trip. I haven't even emptied my carry-on suitcase...

We watched the Mariners game and enjoyed seeing them beat Oakland 5-3. We actually watched Bull Riding twice. They had a 15-15 this afternoon (top 15 riders matched against the top 15 bulls), then broadcast the regular show from the Indianapolis Arena this evening. Made for a nice afternoon of TV watching.

These are pictures of another plant with flowers that I have not identified:

It's by itself outside the door of one of the more permanent RV Park residents. I've not seen any others like it, but it sure is pretty.

One of the things I really enjoyed while I was in Indiana was getting to see all of the tulips and daffodils in bloom as we drove back and forth from the motel to the church where we were meeting. The church ladies had bouquets of spring flowers all around the meeting areas that included lilacs and bleeding hearts as well. All of the flowers that don't grow in the south! I've missed them.

Another Quiet Day

We seriously thought about going to look at Abe Lincoln's birthplace and childhood home this afternoon, but knew that the Bull Riding Finals in Las Vegas were on TV at 4 PM.  That was all the incentive we needed to spend a quiet day at home!

We've only gotten to watch the PBR (Professional Bull Riding) live one time back in Tacoma, but we almost always manage to catch them on TV. (One of my dreams is to see the Finals in person someday...) I found it quite interesting that of the forty top riders who made it to the Finals, ten of them are from Brazil.  This year's top rider and also the winner of the Finals are both Brazilians. The incredible bull named Bushwacker was named Bull of the Year.

It was a good weekend for catching up with family and friends.  We talked with Granddaughter Havela and her family last night; Sister Sherry yesterday and today; Tom and Juni earlier this afternoon; and Bill and Leslie this evening.

While there was frost on the grass again this morning, it was a very nice sunny day.  Quite a contrast to all of the snow in the northeast we were seeing on TV today!  That early nor'easter has really reeked havoc -- with thirty inches of snow in Connecticut.
