Our past week was eventful to say the least. First of all, for those concerned, Elko was spared the brunt of the 6.0 earthquake. The damage was contained mostly to the community of Wells, which is 50 miles west of us. There was quite a bit of damage in Wells, but thankfully no one was seriously hurt or killed. The geography of the area slowed down the force of the quake, so by the time it reached us we had a little shaking. I was the only one awake when the earthquake hit. It rattled our apartment, but nothing fell from the walls or the cabinets. We appreciated all the calls of concern received from friends and family.
In addition to the earthquake we enjoyed a nice visit with Gail's parent's over the weekend. Matthew built a toolbox with Grandpa and we got to do some shopping. It is always nice to get together with the family. We ended our trip with a visit to Grandma Bates which is always wonderful. We got in late Sunday evening and I think all of us we tired from the weekend's activities because everyone was in bed early and slept in this morning.
The boys are anxious for the arrival of Grandma Mierins and Jim. Every day they keep asking about how many more days until they get here. Hopefully we will have some spring like weather for them.
That about sums up our past week. We hope you all have a great week.
