April Showers...

We laid in bed last night and enjoyed the pitter patter of rain drops on the Beasts roof.  Being desert rats, that sound is unfamiliar and soothing at the same time.  We've had wonderful weather with lots of dog walks and visiting of family.

 Ashley and I with my Grandmother and her Great Grandmother.  She is 95 years old and we had such a great visit.  We visited my aunt and uncle for the day.  It was a beautiful day and it was great catching up.

 Watching the NCAA tournament at Ashley's house.  She cooked dinner and we had a good time.  Michigan beat Kansas and the puppies had fun with her pooches.  

My Grandmother and Gidget.

Right next to the Capital in Salt Lake, they have a park with an off leash dog trail that goes into a canyon with a calm river running down it.  All the dogs ran and played in the water.  Four very stinky and dirty dogs on the way home!  Ashley's old dog Charleston got carried in a backpack as he gets very tired and looks for excuses to pause, making the hike last forever.

 A very Happy Gidget!  She never gets to run off leash, so this was a treat!

Tired Schmoo!

On Saturday we were back at Petco with the Utah Animal Adoption Agency with five cats and five dogs that needed forever homes.  One Cat and two dogs were adopted.  This is a great organization that gets animals off the euthanasia list at the kill shelters and finds them homes.  Some of these guys are there because simply because their previous owners were done with them.  They all have a lot of love to give.  It's great to see them go to a new home!  

 Eric and Ashley went out on Easter for a quick bite-Guess who they left behind?

We are still waiting on the hydraulic lines to be replaced, so we'll be in Salt Lake a little longer.  It's been fun just getting things done, puttering around, and reading.  I've been able to read several books, something I haven't done since our last cruise!  We've only been retired and on the road less than a month, but we are falling into a very nice rhythm.  Yesterday was Baseball Opening Day and we were able to watch the Red Sox whoop the Yankees!
