Back On Line

My short delay is now over.  I certainly can't say it was due to work or even from being busy!!  It was actually because I did not have access to my computer and I just am not able to do this on my phone or tablet.

We came home last Wednesday for our annual one week trip home.  We always find this trip somewhat stressful and tiring but for some reason, this year it wasn't so.  Our flights were all on time or early, we weren't rushing from one gate to another.  It actually was quite enjoyable.

Somewhere over Utah

The frigid temperatures had moderated a bit so we didn't have to deal with any terrible temperatures.  However, we did get to contend with some freezing rain but the streets were kept pretty good but we did get an unbelievably dirty car!

I always thought sundogs were an indication of cold weather coming but this wasn't the case.  They were very bright but instead of cold we got a bit of a change so that was nice.

I was surprised at how little snow there was when we arrived as according to the weather, there seemed to be snow almost on a daily basis.  It looks like a lot of snow in front of our place but most of it is from the wind and the snow removal.

We got to visit the kids although it was pretty short with some of them.  Some of them were out of town on a volleyball tournament.  But that did mean we got to spend some time with a granddaughter left at home.

Back to the south this week to enjoy some more warm temperatures and sunshine.  Until next week, I hope everyone has a good week.

Sorry, A Little Late

This week we are back in Yuma with time spent visiting and planning a special celebration.  Our friends, Gary and Marleen, celebrated 60 years of marriage - a very special occasion!  They were joined by their son and daughter and a small gathering of friends.  The afternoon was spent visiting, a few laughs, a toast of champagne,  and best wishes.

We have had many calm and warm evenings this winter.  Nothing beats a campfire with a gourmet menu - hot dogs and bush pies.  Here we have the makings of a bush pie which makes for a great supper.

I often post a photo when I see something different and/or unusual.  Here we saw an amazing park job.  I don't know who would deserve more credit for it - the driver, or the person guiding.

We are so fortunate to not have to endure the bitter frigid weather that has been blanketing so much of the country.  Hopefully, it will moderate quickly and better temps are promised for next week.  I hope you all have kept warm and you have a good week!
