Good morning!
We had a busy past few days..... Megan and Jeff arrived right on time and no flight delays. We were so glad to see them . We talked to Erin and family yesterday morning... Santa arrived there in good shape! We missed them this year but hopefully next year we will be spending time with all of our kids together....
We had a "combined" dinner yesterday with our good friends, Gary/Angela,Bob and Jackie...I fixed strawberry pretzel salad, carrot cake and a Black cherry pie..... they fixed turkey, and the sides, green bean casserole and of course we had to much to eat. We ate in the Rec Hall at the park and had a nice visit and got to see others at the hall too who were gathering for the day.
Megan and I are getting ready to go shopping this morning, Bill is working and Jeff is playing golf with Bob and Gary.... so our day is almost full. Later this afternoon Darrin and Christina will be here for dinner..... we are grilling a pork loin.... and all the leftover salads and "stuff" we had yesterday!
We will be scouting around tomorrow for the day.... not sure where we are going....
Sunday we are driving up to Prescott to meet Jeff's parents for the day....we haven't seen them for a few years and looking forward to visiting with them.... Monday it is back to work for Bill and I, Jeff will be golfing in the morning and Megan is on her own until noon....they will leave around 2:30 for the airport. We arranged a shuttle service to pick them up at the airport and bring them right to our door and they will also pick them up MOnday and take them back to the airport.... what a deal! I know our weekend will be going by fast!
So that is about it around here!
Until next time!

Sunday evening
A fast week has gone by! It rained last week about 2 days so that added to the "frenzy" of the week!
Last Monday after work I spent the afternoon working around here and then we went to eat dinner with our friends for Gary's birthday which was the week before. But with their busy schedule they have we had to wait a week! :) We ate at a restaurant called "Sweet Tomatoes"...it is a soup and salad restaurant and it was very good. We played Joker after supper.
Tuesday morning was work for us and Bill worked in the afternoon.... I went to ceramics and worked on my Christmas tree...it should be done this Tuesday....we went to eat supper at the clubhouse grill for Taco Tuesday and then played Joker again..
Wednesday after work I spent the afternoon doing some things around here.... the quilting group had their Christmas party and gift exchange...the guys went out for supper.... do you see a trend here???
Thursday was work in the morning and then went to return our humidifier we bought about 3 weeks ago.... we discovered that it was leaking and had leaked water on the carpet under the dining room table. We also made a stop at the glass shop to get some glass that Bill needed. We actually cooked at home that night!
Friday after work we had our stain glass class.... I am working on some cabeschon (spelling???) (necklaces) and Bill is working on a stain glass project. We also had a workkamper Christmas luncheon with the park to attend. After that we stopped to get Bob and Jackie and went to a store that was having a 50% off sale.... Jackie and I both came out with some bargains! We stopped at Texas Roadhouse for supper.
Saturday was spent doing laundry and working around here and doing some sewing....
Bill worked at the stain glass shop most of the afternoon.... we (the 6 of us) decided to go eat Mexican for supper so we did and then the Gish's met us here and we played Joker again.... can you see a trend here? :) We have a great time and love to see who is going to have flat tires in the morning! hahah!!!!
This morning we got around and went to church early and then met Bob and Jackie at the clubhouse ...yep for another meal out..... an omelet buffet...it was pretty good! We had to go to Walmart again and also Bill filled up with fuel at Fry's...it had been 1 month since he last put fuel in the truck.....not bad...and it was even down 35cents from last month! We paid $2.05 today with our card for diesel and gas is $1.49
Not bad!
I made some haystack "candy" and have been on the computer most of the afternoon and doing some things here.... now to get ready for the week ahead! We only have to work 4 days this week, so it is a 3 day week for me! I am taking off Friday also as Megan and Jeff will be here on Christmas morning! What a great Christms present! :)
So until next time!

Sunday evening
It is a cool evening and the weekend has been kind of cool also...... this past week has really flown by again....that is my only excuse! We have been so busy working and then something always creeps up in the afternoon and evening to delay my writing..... some days are just days of doing nothing and some we don't have an extra minute!
This past Friday late afternoon we went to the clubhouse grill for fried fish with our friends, Bob/Jackie and Howard/Mary. After that we went to the movie"Four Christmas's"...it was a funny movie!
Saturday morning, Jackie and I decided to go to a vendor fair or craft show at Paradise RV Resort. We found it in good shape and then stopped at a few other stores before going home. Saturday evening around 4 we got on a tour bus and rode to Mesa to the Organ Stop Pizza, the first stop. We had a great time with Bob/Jackie, Howard/Mary. Our second stop was at Mormon Temple which has thousands of lights and was beautifully decorated.....and so many people! Our last stop was at Glendale which is called Glendale Glitters...we were only able to drive through the downtown area which was very crowded and there wasn't anywhere for the bus to pull over and stop.... the downtown area was really decorated and the lights were so pretty......Glendale isn't too far from us.....
This morning after church we stopped at Kohl's to do some last shopping for the kids for Christmas and came home. Then Jackie,Angela and I went to run some errands at Target and Joann's. It was a fun afternoon but when I got home it was time to clean our coach up and get supper. I fixed fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn...it has been a long time since I have done that and it was great--if I say so myself! :)
We have a busy week ahead of us as we are doing something every afternoon and evening this week with friends..... stay tuned!
Until next time!

The weeks seem to zip by....
So its 2 weeks since I have last written.... I have also had a cold, sinus infection and probably bronchitus the past couple of weeks..... FINALLY on Thanksgiving day I woke up feeling half "normal" :) The cough still lingers once in awhile but its almost gone.... this stuff is going around the park and I'm sure the laundry room is contagious of everything...like I was at school.....
We haven't done much the past couple of weeks except the normal "stuff" because I haven't felt well..... most days I spent at home on the couch after work....
We had planned to go to Wanda and Jim's house in Mesa to spend Thanksgiving with them and the girls but I had the crud so Bill went to the grocery store Wed.afternoon and got a turkey breast for our Thanksgiving..... Our neighbor next door came over that morning and invited us to have a potluck dinner with them and the other workkampers who were here.... so we took our turkey breast some dressing and a pie and had a nice dinner with them. We just hang around here the rest of the day.
Friday, after we got home from work we decided to go to the mall and think about beginning Christmas shopping. It was crazy! But we got a few things for us and decided what we are doing for the little ones. Megan is going to become my "personal shopper" this year....
Saturday morning we went to Joann's and then found Cabela's.... We also found a fantastic Mexican restaurant close to the Arizona Cardinals stadium....
Sunday after church we stopped by Walmart for groceries and our friends Bob and Jackie called and said they were going to come in a day early.... We were so happy to see them..... we all went out for supper together at the Clubhouse grill.... it was fun....
Last night, Angela and I and Mary fixed supper for everyone to welcome Bob and Jackie back.... Angela fixed chili and relishes, I fixed clam chowder and salmon dip and Mary fixed cornbread and pie..... we then played Joker to round out the evening..... it was a great evening.
This afternoon after working Jackie and I went to ceramics.... she was working on a Nativity set from last year and started a Christmas tree. I finished my ornaments for the grandkids and began a Christmas tree too.
We are going to meet Bob and Jackie for "Taco Tuesday" at the Clubhouse grill tonite for supper.....
That about sums up the past couple of weeks for us.....
We are doing great and work is going good for both of us.... the time has really flew by and the weeks seem to go by fast! Christmas will be here before we know it!
The weather has been great here...we did have rain last Wed/Thursday but the days are warming up so nicely around 75 or so and so clear! No complaints here!
Take care...
Until next time!
