Quality Time with Grandson and Grandson's Best Friend?

Cody called me yesterday, asking if I would like to spend quality time with him and his best friend Michael. He also mentioned that he wanted to use our barbeque! I went and picked them up, and found out their desire was to go to Safeway and buy ground beef and cheese to make a "Juicy Lucy" burger with cheese stuffed in the middle. We got the meat, made the patties and they fully enjoyed their big, fat burgers. The only buns we keep in our house are those new Sandwich Thins. I got some out, and Michael said to Cody, "What are these?" Cody said, "I don't know". But they ate them and fully enjoyed their lunch. It is always fun to have the two of them around.....

African Daisies in March

While traveling around on this beautiful Saturday morning, we saw so many African Daisies. They are just beautiful in all of the neighborhoods. They just seem to have appeared overnight! I want to get these going in my yard. What a beautiful welcome of spring in the desert.

the Garden Railroad Tour-2010

We spent this morning visiting several homes in the Tucson area that have Garden Railroads in their yard. They were very amazing. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and we enjoyed the company of 4 other couples from our church. One of the guys is a model railroad enthusiast, and invited us all to go. It was a fun morning, with lunch at Olive Garden in the middle of the tour.

Sadie Brooks was a dear friend of ours. We stayed with Sadie and Doodie the first time we ever came to Tucson, in 1982. I remember her as a gracious, dedicated, Godly woman in our lives. She invited Denny to lunch every Wednesday for years, when I was teaching at Rio Vista. We have fond memories of both of them.

Denny's Leg Warmers

Denny and I have been bicycling with the Vistoso Cyclists. They ride Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:00 am. It is cool at that time of day, even in Tucson, so Denny decided to go to the bike shop and buy leg warmers. He bought large. Have you ever noticed Denny's legs? Well, the more I diet, the thinner HIS legs get! So, he puts on his leg warmers, and they just fall back down. So, he decides to use rubber bands to hold them up. Nope. They still fall down. So, today, he gets rope and tries to tie them on. I think it is time to return the leg warmers.

Visiting the grandkids in Cali

Recently we spent time with our grandkids in California. We enjoyed going to the park, geocaching, and seeing what they were capable of on the computer. They are going to be moving to Louisville, Kentucky this month, so we were glad to have the time with them while they are still fairly close.

Sophia Photoshoot

We just spent time in Houston with Carrie, Dali and Sophia. We went to a photoshoot in very cold weather, but the pics turned out so cute. Here are a few that we liked:
