Just a little more on Tucson

Bob is in Tucson this week he moved some stuff down there and was meeting with furniture delivery, cable hookup, and ofcourse, we are in Tucson, so also meeting with the exterminator. Real necessity on a regular basis down there! Just a couple of picks from when we were there last time. I stacked up the rocks on our patio before we left last time, and Bob said they were still there untouched. If you've been hiking, you might see stacked stones like this...... to mark you way home. Nice to know the scerenity!

Tucson!

I've not been on this blog for so long. Lots has happened!!!! First off, we bought a condo in Tucson, AZ. I don't know if we are crazy or lucky...... Anyway, here are just a few pictures. We were down there last week to sow our seeds - we have no furniture, but you have to start somewhere! Here is a picture of our bedroom, then a couple taken from our patio. We are located in the Sabino Canyon foothills. Sure is different from Colorado!!

Good Harvest

I had a good crop of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers this year in my garden! It was so fun to go out and pick fresh food each day for my lunches. Growing season is coming to an end however, but sure had a good year. Anybody need tomatoes?

Bob's 'August' Lake Trip

I think everyone knows that Bob makes, at minimum, two trips to the Lake of the Ozarks each year -- first in May, then in August. This year, a friend flew a private little 4-seater plane down there and Bob was able to tour the lake from the air. Pretty cool and exciting for him! Here are some pics of the plane, a couple of ariel views of the lake and the infamous cabin, along with Mark and Deb's new lake home. It's a nice place.

Welcome Jolene to our Family

I stole these off of Karen's blog... what a sweetheart! Karen and Luke welcomed their beautiful daughter into our family. Here are some pictures, and we will get to see her in person over the Labor Day weekend. Looking forward to seeing Luke, Karen, Emmett and Jolene. Isn't she pretty, and her big brother couldn't be cuter :)

Beautiful Flowers

Last weekend, Bob went to the grocery store - as he always does. I don't think I've been in a grocery store in ages, lucky me. Anyway, I wasn't feeling all that well that day and Bob came home with some beautiful sunflowers for me to vase. I thought, self, you have such beautiful flowers in your back yard, you should make a nice arrangement. So I did. So beautiful... Thanks Bob :)

Summer 2009

We took our annual trip up to ND over the 4th of July this year. Had a blast, and it was so nice to see Dad, Cindy, Sara and Tom. It's always good to see them, I'm always missing them. Why don't we all live the same City so that I don't have to miss you!!! So, here are some pics:

The long, straight forever highway on the way to Bismarck

The fake police in Amidon that has been there for as long as I know; they used to have a maniquin in there, but thankfully no longer:

A day at the parade in Strasburg with my Dad and my Aunt Bobbie:

Last, a barbecue at Cindy's house! We had some fun, drank some wine, fantastic food - Bob's famous burgers, Cindy's famous potato salad, Sara's now famous shrimp salad. Ummm, Donna's famous wine???? I didn't cook anything :)

Here are more miscellaneous pics from our summer 2009 so far!
