A vacation with a black cloud.

Snow! We aren't used to it any more!

In the end of april, Barbara and I went on vacation, all by ourselves, it has been the first time in a long time that we have done that and it was nice. However, we did have one unplanned passenger, our own personal black cloud. We hit snow, a tire that refused to stay inflated and a car that wanted to stay in Utah. We did visited three of our children in Utah. We were planning to spend just a week, however we ended up spending three weeks, thanks to my company car, who decided to take a break and get a new transmission. (at least we did not have to pay for it.) During this same period, Barbara's car lost a wheel and now is broken until I can fix it, I hope. During the extended vacation, during which I went to Wisconsin for a service call. We enjoyed visiting with Daniel, Stephanie and Jacob. Michael and Julie, and Arielle, Joel and the Bump. While I was in Wisconsin, I had time to drive down and see John, Mandi, Matt, Dee-Dee, and Evee in Illinios. We were able to see Mike and Julie's new house. It will look wonderful after they are finished with the remodeling. On our way back, it seemed we left our cloud behind, at least for a little while.
