"The Ring"

The Ring

For those that haven't heard it I will tell you a story. A couple of weeks ago Bob asked, "if I were to ask you at some time to marry me would you consider it". I said "if at some time you did that I would consider it", stressing "consider". On Tues. night when we had friends over for dinner, he bowled me over by giving me a "considering ring". I couldn't have been more surprised. It is beautiful and I can't wait to show it off. And yes I am "considering". Stay tuned for picture. I hope you are as happy for me as I am.
Love to all.

Another Green Valley Day

The G.V. gang heard about our "secret ole family recipe" for deep fried halibut. Once again it was a big success.

What a beautiful thought

Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.

Sunset in Green Valley

Just one of the many reasons I love living here in Ariz. The sunsets are truly beautiful and cap off days of warmth and sunshine. Hope you all get to see it someday.

In case ya'll think I am just having fun, rest assured, I'm working : -)

Life in the desert

Hi all,
Just another update in the life of a desert rat. Yesterday while cleaning the back courtyard, Bob found a rattle snake curled up taking a snooze in a pile of leaves. I thought he was just messing with one of his buddies when I heard him ask who to call to get rid of a rattler. Silly me!!! After spending so many years living in Alaska I am not used to looking for snakes, but, believe me that has changed. I had been standing almost on top of him and didn't even see him, nor him me. Not sure who would have been the most scared. Anyway, the proper procedure is to call the fire dept. and they will come get them. Stay tuned for more in the life of,
The Desert Rat

Tombstone, AZ

Hi all. Bob took me along with a couple of his friends from Seattle on a sightseeing trip to Tombstone. It was a lovely day and a nice tour. They were having Old West Days with the shootout and live music and a lot of people dressed in period clothes. It was pretty fun and not so awfully hot. We wondered around town for a while then had lunch before starting home taking the scenic route.
