It was a good weekend. Saturday we headed out to Turbo’s, Wizard gave him the RC race car…and it broke in the first 10 minutes, LOL! That is RC cars. Wizard brought it home to fix the issue and will probably drop it off this week when he’s out there for other stuff. But Turbo was excited about it! And he didn’t even blink about Wizard needing to take it home and redo something on it. He and his dad have RC trucks they play with, and his dad is always fixing them, so he wasn’t at all surprised or upset. We didn’t stay long, and left to head towards home then stop somewhere for lunch when we were closer to home.

But the freeway was closed due to an accident involving a runaway propane tank. The tank’s house — a food truck — was involved in an accident and the propane tank saw it’s opportunity to escape and rolled out onto the freeway (I didn’t said it was a good plan, LOL). This freaked out the authorities since they didn’t know if it had been punctured and was ready to spectacularly self destruct in a massive fireball and take out everything around it. And this led to the freeway closure.

Fortunately, we were able to get it around it fairly quickly since they had just closed the freeway a few minutes before we got there, and we went on with our day. We went to lunch, came home then headed back out to drop in on Youngest unannounced. Because we wanted to see the finished back yard! And we did! They have an oasis that is just lovely after a year or more of work. It was worth all the sweat and money they put into it. But Youngest had planned to show no one until he was ready for his Big Reveal in what I assume will be a family swim party. Which is why we dropped in We’re the parents, we get away with stuff like that all the time. But he’s making the rest of the family wait and there was a long text chain about this in which Youngest told his siblings and family that we had to pay for an early preview. Then he showed a picture the Mustang in his garage, implying we gave it to him for the privilege of seeing his backyard.

I’m seriously worried my kids are strange. Just saying…

Sunday Wizard went to practice at the track and see his friends. That left me home unsupervised, so I went to Lowes and spent money on more pots, soil, plant stands and one plant. I need to do some repotting and such. Maggie went with me and had a great time with that adventure! She loves going anywhere.

Oh, and back when we were at Turbo’s, oldest son said he’d take paddle board lessons with me (stand up paddle board), and I am going to hold him to it! It’s a bucket list thing that I really want to try. My daughter in law said she and Turbo will Kayak while we paddle board. I’d totally do kayaking too, but I really want to try paddle boarding.

Today I’m working out then gardening in the back.

How was your weekend?
