Spring Break, Day Three

Today was a laid back day. My mom, Jamie & I went to the Mesa swap meet this morning to walk around and look. My mom had to buy some things for a friend of hers. Jamie was NOT at all interested in going but, once we were there, he wanted to look at EVERYTHING!! We spent a couple of hours there and, according to my mom, only got through about 1/4 of the entire market. They have just about anything you can think of there! Jamie came home with a remote control car, actually a cool toy and more than I expected for the $7 I paid for it.

After the swap meet, we decided to go to Pei Wei for lunch. I'd been to one in SLC and was really impressed and thought my mom would like it too. This one was OK, different and more formal than I remember the one in SLC to be...doubt that we'll go back, though.
I loved the all you can eat fortune cookies and all you can drink chai tea!!

We learned something about Ginger today. When we left for the swap meet, we left her chained up in the yard because, although my mom's yard is completely fenced, we're pretty sure she can jump the four foot fence. Thing is...I don't think she knows she can jump it! When we got home, she was off the chain but, still in the yard. She had broken the clasp on the chain and we were so glad that she was still around! When we put her in the dog run at home, with a six foot fence, she climbs over and is out of the run before we can close the gate. But, we keep her & Bronco in the laundry room with a 3 foot baby gate and she doesn't jump that, even though she could probably step over it. So, maybe she's a climber and not a jumper and maybe she needs more fence to get traction to climb. Silly dog!!
So, we're letting her roam in the yard here and, so far, she's done great! Who knew?? It's better for us, too, because now we don't have to listen to her yelping!

Bill arrives tomorrow morning! I'm glad Jamie & I came down early but I'll be happy to have another playmate for Jamie!
