My Sweetie!

Beautiful day and a lovely walk with my sweetie.


 

Little Miss Turns Four!

Our youngest granddaughter, Kinsley, also had a birthday recently!

She's a spunky little girl and reminds us so much of Rachel at that age!

Happy Birthday, Kinsley!

Time With Nancy!

Nancy's family was one of the very first we met when we moved to

Arizona in 2005.  Her girls, as well as our children, are all grown up now and

living their adult lives.  But we have stayed in touch and remained good

friends over the years.

She picked me up today and we spent a fun time down in Green Valley just catching

up on our families, going to our favorite thrift store, and having a

delicious lunch.  We had a great time!


The White Elephant, a fun thrift store that we used to visit when our kids were young.

I actually picked up four good books.

Lunch With Jonathan!

Jonathan drove down from Tucson and we tried a new BBQ restaurant

in Green Valley.  It was very good and we all enjoyed a good time together!

Tortilla Soup

 Joe is a happy man now.

He got to have a bowl of his favorite Tortilla Soup at Jerry Bob's!

One of the many paths through the neighborhood.

It's so nice to be able to get out and walk in the beautiful weather.

Delicious Mexican Lunch!

Joe and I were out an about doing some shopping the other day and

went to lunch at Manuel's.

As we remembered, it was delicious!

Arriving in Arizona!

 Our flights to Arizona were uneventful, even though both were delayed.

We arrived in fine shape and the weather is glorious!  We're going around in

short sleeves (not in the cool mornings, though) and we see people on the

sidewalks in winter coats, hats, and gloves.


We got the boys each a bike, and they are having a blast riding all around the 

development, eating out, going to the clubhouse, and they even stopped by the

library and got library cards!


This first week has required a lot of set up and shopping, which I despise.

However, when we were at Lowe's, I couldn't resist taking a picture of

these beautiful flowers.


And, just to prove we are indeed in Arizona, I saw this man on horseback

while I was parking at Walmart.  So funny!


It's so good to be back and to enjoy this beautiful weather!

First Snow of the Season!

 The "experts" were predicting much more accumulation than this, but I'm very

glad this storm went more to the south of us.

We got about an inch and a half at the most.

Breakfast or Lunch?

With the big winter storm on its way this afternoon, we decided to go out for

a meal mid-morning.  The boys, as usual, ate large quantities of food

and will be ready for another meal in just a matter of a few hours.

Very high metabolisms with these two!!!!

All Put Away!

 I meant to take a picture of the process, but the boys were so helpful in putting

away the tree, and all the many decorations around the house that it went so quickly!

It's all back to normal.

Welcoming in 2025!

A beautiful day in the 40*s called for grilling hamburgers on the grill.

As usual, Isaac was up for the task and they were delicious.
