Easter Weekend

Our Easter Weekend is flying by. So far the weather has been lousy with rain/cold on Friday and Saturday morning and then the rest of Saturday turned into just cloudy and cold, but at least dry.
I had the day off on Friday and Nicole had to work so we made maintenance appointments for both vehicles. It was the 1st oil change for the truck and that was for 8:00 a.m. and then 8:30 for the car. Nicole and I met at the Land Rover dealer at 7:45, dropped the truck off and then I drove her back to the office for her first appointment. I then went back to the Saab dealer and sat and waited for that to finish. While there I got a call from the Land Rover place about a tire sensor. We had a tire sensor (which I guess is on every tire), never had that before and the light came on when Nicole was driving on Thursday. So I figured while getting the oil changed they would check it out. Well, I guess it was broke so they needed to replace it and it is covered by warranty so warranty says when you replace one you replace all 4. So, they needed to keep the vehicle over the weekend. Well, Nicole told them (I was too scared) that she needed the truck for the weekend so they gave us a loaner. I figured it would be some old car that they just give you to knock around in, but NO, it was a 2011 Land Rover LR4. Neither of us had ever driven one, we have seen them at the car show and sat in them, but to drive one is pretty nice. I would never buy one, especially not new, but it has a lot of bells and whistles that our truck does not have. It has a heated steering wheel, you would never think you would need that, but I turned it on yesterday and it was pretty nice. It gets about as bad of gas mileage as our truck does, high teens, nothing more. It is white which we don't like, but overall a heck of a loaner to use for free for 3 days.
Friday night we went to dinner in Stillwater and went to an Irish place called Charlies. We had fish and chips (last Friday for Lent) and drank Guinness (I did) and they had an Irish band that was pretty good. We went to bed early.
Today went way too fast. We got up and Nicole started cleaning. I helped a little, but when she is going you just get out of her way (she's like the Tazmanian Devil). I went and got her coffee at Starbucks which only keeps her going 100 mph. I tinkered around in the garage for a while and acted like I was busy or at least helping (which I really wasn't). I took some crap to Goodwill and took the propane tank to get refilled. I brought the planters out of the garage and moved them to the front step so I actually did a little work today. I wanted to golf today, but who can get excited about anything outside with this weather. It is a little depressing I have to admit.
At about 2:00 we headed to St. Paul, a quick stop at Caffe Latte for some dessert for Easter Sunday and then to my brother Chad's to celebrate Easter with my side of the family. Food was great, company was great and we had a great time.
Now we are home and waiting for George and Michelle to arrive. We are going to church early tomorrow and then home to grill and watch the Twins. Hopefully we hit 60 degrees and sunshine like the forecast says.
Happy Easter to everyone.
