#2213 miscellaneous Monday

Originally I had planned to have a four day staycation while Lizzie was here, but then she asked if I wanted to go to Las Vegas with her over the weekend. How could I refuse? I don't love Las Vegas (been there, done that, A LOT) but I thought about how I wouldn't like to be there alone and I couldn't resist the idea of a few more days with my lil sister! We drove down on Friday, had a poetry reading on Friday night and another on Saturday afternoon. The two events could not have been more different from each other and also very different from the reading she did in Provo on Thursday night. Poetry comes in many forms and in many voices. That's what I learned.

I got back home on Sunday afternoon. I've got a busy week of Red Butte Garden volunteering coming up which includes two concerts and two weddings along with my usual bloom recording and docent gig. The concerts are back to back on Tuesday and Wednesday and the weddings are back to back on Friday and Saturday. On top of that Osi will go to the groomer, I will have a book club session (I have to finish my pages!), MT will go to Idaho for the family reunion and oh yeah...we closed on a house today. Whew.

I'll talk more about the house in the future. I haven't even seen it, although I know exactly where it is - right next door to one of our other properties! MT is planning to flip the house. He and Bruce (our realtor) believe we can make a bit of money on it. Here's hoping :D


As a peaceful end note to a busy day, here is a photo of a plant I repotted last week. Isn't she pretty?
