Back in Tucson

I'm behind on my blogging -- that's for sure!! But, I need to mention what a fantastic time we had in Tucson when Mark and Debs came to visit. The boys golfed one day, which was cool, since it was Mark's first time out since starting dialysis. They had a great time, and Debs and I went up and hiked in Sabino canyon. It was fun, and since it's been so wet there, the washes are definately full of flowing water. The first one we came upon, we both took our shoes off to get through, but there were so many we eventually just kept on our shoes and walked through. Thus the reason we always saw tennis shoes drying out at our place from our neighbors. We had a fantastic visit, that's for sure! Can't wait for more visitors next year!

Happy Birthday, Higgy!

Our dear friend Higgy died in 1995, and each year on his birthday, Bob and I drive to his gravesite and have a beer with him! Sounds strange, sure, but, it's our tradition......... we still miss him. We drink a beer and leave one for Hig, where most people would leave flowers. I think the caretaker looks forward to Hig's birthday each year!!!

Happy Birthday, Hig

What a GREAT Visit!!

We had the best time, when Kristi, Gary, Cindy, Barry, Ruth, Ellenora and Henry came to visit us!!! I keep thinking back of the fun times, and just literally 'laugh out loud'! This post would be way too long to even give everyone just the highlights.... Lots of laughter, lots of fun for the girls and the guys enjoyed themselves also Golf for the guys, a day at the pool for the gals, a day being lost downtown :), a day in Sabino Canyon. Let's not forget a surprise birthday party for Bob also!!!! Here are a few pics, and the entire weekend can be seen http://picasaweb.google.com/Donna.Loves.Bob/2010Tucson_Greenfields#

Something to Call Our Own

Well, living in a Condo, we don't have our own yard, so I thought I would venture and give us something that we could watch grow and call our own. So, I planted a little cactus last week. And, the name? Well, it wouldn't be more appropriate to call him 'Tucson'!! Welcome to our condo little Tucson..........

They grow approximately 1 1/2 INCH in FIVE years, so I don't now how much we'll be able to see him grow, but still...

Cute, HUH!

Snow in the Desert

We've been having a cool spell here in Tucson. I found it amazing, snow in the mountains in the desert! These are pics from our back yard -- snow! I thought we moved here to get away from it.......... warm up soon, please :)

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to our wonderful Family and friends. We had the most fantastic weekend, having Luke and Karen visit from Coyote, WY and brother Allen from Portland, OR. I throw a shout out to my brother Larry for making it back here from Trucking, and Mychal thanks for the visit. Amy was able to drive down to see us all -- and, always loving to see the rest of us that are here -- Frohlich's, Hougen's, Mark and Matt Andersons, and the David Sands. We got to see Chuck and Allison, Bob had lunch with Aaron, we got to hook up with the Davis clan.... life is great -- truly a wonderful weekend. Thanks to all! Love to all of you.

We missed seeing Cindy, Tom, Sara and Dad. Hopefully we will see you soon!

Seems like I go through these new digital camera's pretty quick, and looks like I need a new camera once again. My pics are not all that good, but enjoy as you can and the entire Thanksgiving picture album can be found:

More Tucson stuff

Bob is home now from Tucson, he took a few more pics. So, we now have bedroom and livingroom furniture, fully stocked kitchen - thanks to my new friend Ingrid. The couple of pics outside just kind of show what the place is like, it's nice and home-y..... oh, yeah, you're probably wondering about the animals -- these are javalina's and the picture was taken right out our front door. Bob said there was a herd of about 10 of them! Pretty crazy -- guess there's a lot of new wildlife to get used to.............
