Christmas Eve arrived and Jim and I turned another year older - 58 to be exact - I LOVE it! Birthdays are good! Jim, Liz and Jimmy came to our house for dinner and what a beautiful day it was. Gotta love winter in Arizona!!
Larry and I did a nice hike over Christmas break at Pinnacle Peak sort of near our home. It was a beautiful day hiking amongst the saguaros and all the tourists in town for the Fiesta Bowl. Look closely and you'll see hikers looking like tiny ants on the trail.
And then New Year's arrived and the friends came over to help us bring in 2014 allowing us to hike New Year's Day at Cave Creek Regional Park - another crappy day in Carefree....
The javelina have returned to the neighborhood. Actually, I have a feeling they are always around and sometimes we just get lucky and they let us see them.
We were able to go to the Phoenix Open this year and didn't dress appropriately meaning that we didn't dress warm enough. Here I go on and on about our wonderful Arizona winter weather and the day we attended the Phoenix Open - temps were in the 50s and the wind was blowing - not what I was expecting. Nonetheless, was fun. We then met friends Michelle for dinner that night.
Business for Larry took us to Silver City where we met up with friends from our days in Bolivia: Todd and Marcela.
And my goodness, what were we thinking!? We decided on a small remodel of our bedroom/bathroom that turned into a full blown true HGTV experience. I'll show you the finished product - when this project ends - what were we thinking...?
And so there you go - an updated blog nearly two months since the last one. I've not been as good at picture taking as I should. Friend Tammy from Calama was in town and I was able to meet with her for lunch one day and catch up. I've reconnected with friend Jean from middle school/high school days and we've met twice now for lunch. Obviously a lot of talking going on in both of these instances if I'm not remembering to get a photo.
On the health front, the drug I'm taking, Temodar, is doing its job. I've lost count now of how many rounds I've done of this drug and am just thankful that it is working. My next three month scan is next month! I do believe it'll be good news!
