Just took a huge TV we bought in 1994 and brought with us from England to the landfill AND IT STILL WORKED!!! One small step for Sonja, one giant leap towards a flat screen for Tim………………….. Have I ever said how much I hate packing? What to take, what to store, what to ditch. It's […]

This Christmas was exceptionally quiet for us, usually we have family and/or Vanessa here for at least a week. This year Vanessa decided to stay in Costa Rica and come to us for Thanksgiving and Jeanette volunteered to dog sit for another friend of mine, Kathy. On Christmas day we always eat the big "dinner" […]

Well I have to say I do like Arizona, for a vacation that is, I think it would be waaaay too hot in the summer. As some of you may have heard by now Tim has accepted a job in California, He'll be running a company called Grotto Wine Cellars (they actually make wine cellars, […]

I have to say that I really like Arizona, but not in the heat of summer!  I don’t live here year round so it’s easy to say you like a place when you are only visiting. You don’t have to put up with scorpions in the house and 115F heat for months on end. We […]

We must really love Arizona as we keep coming back.  We came this time to get some sun and warmth, sun we can always get in Utah but lately it has been freezing cold.  It takes about 12 hours (depending on how you drive, Kathy can get to Phoenix in 10 hours but she drives […]

It never rains but it pours but I would not be me if my life was anything other than weird or just downright wacky! Tim and my daughter Jeanette were home to help me the first week after surgery, not that I really needed too much help but it is nice to have a little […]

Monday, October 26th and we had to get up waaaay to early!! I was due at the hospital at 7:30am so had to be up at 6am to shower and it takes about 45 minutes to get to the hospital and we wanted an additional 15 minutes for rush hour traffic. Yes, it’s one of […]

It’s amazing how life can throw you curve balls, just when you think you have a handle on things everything changes!  I did my back in again about three months ago and although I did physio for 2 months until they decided that there was nothing more they could do for me I was about […]

Well for those of you that don’t follow me on FaceBook I thought I’d let you all know what’s up.  My back has been playing up for the last three months and my Orthopedic surgeon sent me for physio but it only helped about 70%.  Then Sunday I went to lift something, twisted wrong and […]
