Family History Moment

I thought you would like to hear the song that brought David and I together in commemoration of Valentines Day. It was a popular song at the time and I was preforming it with a trio at a dance. I invited him to the event but he said he didn't like to dance but might come to hear me sing. He snuck into the balcony of the hall and I spotted him while I was performing. I could tell it was him even with my glasses off. It has become our song.


7 Red Tailed Hawks

I wish I had thought to get a picture but there were 7 red tailed hawks in my backyard today. This picture looks very much like they did. They were curious enough about me that 3 different ones flew to the top of our saguaro to check me out. It was a get in touch with nature moment. Very cool!

It was a delightful Christmas. We had ham, augratin potatoes, sweet potatoes, a yummy salad with goat cheese, and an apple pudding cake covered in butter sauce. Yum! If you look close you can see the snow.

Karen's Christmas Present

Here are the final copies of the collages I did for Grandma Karen for Christmas. I liked them so well I will be putting them on my walls as well.

Christmas on the 20th

Since we were going to Chanelle's and Dave's house for Christmas, we had an early celebration on the 20th with the family in Tucson. It was a very fun night with a Christmas dinner, a white elephant exchange and presents to each other. Karen and Mike Robinson, Jennifer's mother and brother also joined us. Here are a few pictures.

Breeding Ground

Image
Yes! This is the sink in one of our bathrooms that is not used much now that the kids are out of the house. Evidently someone left behind something when they were brushing their teeth. So remember that a drain can provide fertile ground for errant poppy seeds.
