Monday

Cold and rainy here today.  Not much going on.  Went for a walk with the dogs, then onto the laundry mat.  Dropped $20 into the machines but have clean clothes now!!!  The horses are blanketed for the night as it is in the 40's here and chilly.  We are kind of hibernating in the trailer.

oops, corrected error from last post

That pic of Judy and Justine and baby:  that baby is actually Justine's grandaughter, that baby's mama is sitting right behind them and I almost had a good 4 generation shot. darn.

Saturday

Today was Dorly's big Christmas Party.  She invites the whole neighborhood I think and there were about 50 people there.  Here are some of our favorites.  This is Harold and Deb our neighbors from Iowa.

This is Dorly and Justine and baby McKinley

This is Judy our other neighbor and her daughter Justine and her daughter McKinley.

Live music in Dorly's living room.

Tom the potlicker, no his isn't bald he just looks bald in this picture after his $12 clipper cut he got the other day.

It is raining out today, Sunday and we went to  a fantastic church, The Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene and had a great worship time, then went driving out in the desert with Al on the other side of the highway.  We are going back to that church's Christmas program tonight.  Uh...oh, better get going so we aren't late.

Friday

Friday morning, Bobe sitting in front of our house here in Arizona.  It is finally warmer here now and stopped raining.  Went riding today with Al and Margie.  We actually found a flowing creek and Lady got to play in it.  Nice icy cold water coming off that mountain.

Here she is...having a hissy fit because The Tramp is still in the pen down behind the house. 

Drama, drama,  drama...

This is a picture taken at the Catalina Horsemans Camp.  These are the horse stalls.

Just to the left of the horse stalls is the camping area.  As you can see lots of room to camp here.  No electric or sewer hookup, but you can ride right out on the trails and they do have water for the horses here. They allow a 2 week stay.

This years Christmas card picture.  Merry Christmas and may God bless you all!

Thursday

This is our view out our door.  That is Dorly's house and right behind that is the horses.  It was kind of rainy and cold here last two days,  but today was nothing but warm sunshine!  Lady and The Tramp got new shoes today with Vicky.    I cleaned house today and it took about 20 minutes!!  For those of you who don't know how we can live in a horsetrailer that is one of the perks!  We aren't sure what we do all day but we sure are busy doing nothing.  Dorly just knocked on the door to deliver the mail and behold!  Turtles have flown all the way from Michigan to Arizona without melting!  Thanks Kim Ross (Pocahontas)  such a nice gift from Home!  Tomorrow I plan to ride with Al and Margie at 10:30am.  Will take the camera and try to shoot something interesting.

Monday

Rainy day Monday today here in Tucson.  All us campers are holed up like gophers  since it is really windy and rainy.  Now this is the first time I have seen it rain here and it is quite something to see.  Since the ground here is sandy but rock hard the water pools up everywhere.  We went to Tom and Vics and picked up the little white trailer from their house and brought it to Dorly's who is kind enough to let us park the ugly little thing here.  It is carrying our bikes and 20 bales of hay.  We have been too busy getting settled in here to think about biking but when the weather breaks I will be out on it.  Let me know what you think of the new look.  I stayed up all night designing it for you so you don't get bored.

sunday

Good Morning! 
It is a bright sunny day here.  Terry is out eating breakfast with the men, Tom & Al & Greg.  It is my morning to sleep in so I did.  Fed the horses, ate some yummy greek yogurt and here he is back already from breakfast.  The Tucson Marathon is today so roads are congested he says.  It ends right down the road here at the school.  Lady and the Tramp are doing good in their seperate pens.  He is on a kind of steep slope but it gives him something to do.  Terry says I am to meet the "old folks" at 10:30am down at the corner where the donkeys and goats are (not kidding) to go riding with them.  Translation,  that means that Al is taking out the ones who don't like to ride too far and that means me since my Lady is barefoot still.  She gets new shoes Tuesday at 1pm.

As promised, here is the new office!
