Day Two of Blog......look out world!

Another beautiful day in the Valley of the Sun. Temps have been warmer than normal here by about 10 degrees - it got to 94 today! We did some work in the yard this morning, trimming the oleanders as we could get rid of the branches right away (today is garbage day!) We both took walks - starting out together and then going our separate ways. Don walks much farther and faster than I do. Visited with some of the neighbors and worked on getting the package of Christmas gifts ready to send on ahead of us to MN. Not much doing this week, though Chuck and Traudy Sanborn are coming for a visit and supper on Thursday. Don starts bocce this week and is playing golf with the neighbors at Las Colinas. This is a test run of adding to the blog so I hope it goes OK. Laura told me tonight that I would like this, I could just yammer on and on - so I will try to show restraint! Nuff said!

Sedona Trip

Mom and I wanted to officially thank you for the trip we just took to Sedona. What a great gift. The weather was perfect, the resort was perfect, and the scenery was spectacular. We chose the two-night bed and breakfast package. I am sending some pictures to show you the resort and some of the things we saw (including the Pink Jeep Tour). Thanks again. You're all great kids and we love you all. Love, Dad & Mom

Sedona

Hi all - Don and I are leaving momentarily (Tuesday) for Sedona AZ to use the wonderful gift certificate we got for our 40th anniversary. We will be at the Hilton Sedona Resort and Spa until Thursday. We are both excited since we have waiited over a yesr to do this. Last time we tried - it snowed over a foot in Sedona - this time the weather is predicted to be wonderful and the leaves have started to turn there! Hooray! And, as I told Julia - we are still married and celebrating so 40 or 41.....it works. Just wanted you all to know where we were in case you need us. We will keep the cell phone on. Love to everyone. M
