Happy New Year 2009!






Wow! Does that seem strange or what????
Happy New Year!

Bill and I hope your New Year began safe and sound and hope the New Year brings all the happiness to each and everyone!

We have had a busy week and enjoyed having Megan and Jeff with us for a few days.Friday evening, Darrin and Christina joined us for dinner.... we had a great visit with them.. The "kids" had a good time together.

Last Saturday morning we went on a tour of the University of Arizona Cardinals football stadium which is about 3 miles from us. It was a great tour and I can actually say we have been on the sidelines of a major football game! It was a very cool day and the tour was mostly outside or in the open of the stadium. Very interesting!

Saturday evening 8 of us went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner....Gary/Angela,Bob and Jackie joined us and we had a nice evening for dinner.

Sunday morning we ventured to Prescott Valley to Jeff's great aunt's house. His parents had driven down from Las Vegas to spend the weekend and being that close we took the kids there. It was a great day and we enjoyed that very much. It was great seeing Jeff's parents again and visiting with them. We couldn't remember the last time we had visited with them...... much too long! The weather was nice and sunny to help!

Monday morning, Bill and I had to go back to work. Jeff went golfing with Gary, Bob and Joe. Megan was on her own and she came down to the pool and swam for a while and also got into the hot tub. When I got off work we ate lunch.....Jeff got home around 1 and they had to get ready to leave. The shuttle service told us that they would pick them up at 2:50PM but he arrived at 2:30 so it was a good thing they were ready...
After they left I cleaned up around here and got ready for our work week.

Tuesday afternoon I had a hair appt. and didn't go to ceramics... will catch up this next week. Lots of people have gone home for the holidays and the park has been pretty empty but is beginning to fill up. After my hair appt. I went to Walmart to get groceries...

Tuesday evening we went to Taco Tuesday at the clubhouse grill and then played Joker with our "group".... the gals won again! :).... we actually clobbered the guys!!!

Wednesday after work and lunch I made our dips for the evening and then Jackie picked me up and we ran to a quilt shop that was going out of business and closing that afternoon..... not finding much for me but Jackie bought some yarn on sale at 70% off.... I got some fabric to make a billfold....

We had a potluck dinner last night and played Joker .....this time we split with the guys...2 and 2..... we were all home by 10:30..... so it was a nice quiet New Years Eve for us....

This morning Bill had to work to uncover the pool and came home even before I had gotten around for the morning... I did some laundry and finished putting Christmas things packed away.
After lunch we ran to Lowe's to get a few things and stopped at Bed,Bath and Beyond and came home..... it was so nice so after Bill had his "snooze"...we went to the pool. Later our next door neighbors joined us at the pool... we visited with them in the pool. The hot tub was great and the pool was wonderful after you got used to it!

We came home and had dinner....I had put a pork roast in the crock pot this morning so we had roast for dinner this evening. We are relaxing this evening... Bill had to go to the restaurant to lay some tile this evening after the restaurant closes. Hopefully he won't have to work tomorrow since he is working this evening.

So that is about it for this time! I hope that catches you up on our "happening's" here in sunny Arizona! January in the park is going to be busy and lots of activities planned so stay tuned!

Until next time!
BJ
