My brother-in-law had an emergency appendectomy last Wednesday. It had ruptured, so he has been having a tough time of it. He is still in the hospital. He is 87 years old! We hope he gets better quick.

2008 is almost History!

It is hard to believe 2008 is almost gone! Time waits for no man! We look forward to our granddaughter and her girl friend coming to visit us next week. Then the next week our son and wife hope to come, and our daughter and husband, and grandson hope to come around Christmas, so December is looking like a busy month. We have lots of jobs around the house and yard here, too, so we keep busy. Jerry worked on the roof today. We have six blinds to put up, plus he has weeds in the yard that need to be sprayed. Here in AZ we have a rock yard, so the weeds need to be kept under control. Also, the palm trees need trimming. In a years time they put on a lot of growth, so the seed pods and most of the branches need to be trimmed. Then they need to be peeled where the old growth has been cut off. Although there is lots to be done we love it here. No snow, sleet, ice, or zero, or subzero temperatures. We will enjoy!!!

Every moment--thank God!

Thanksgiving Day!

I had this typed once, and my keyboard went dead!! Thank You for batteries!! As you can see by the picture below it is raining here in AZ. It is most welcome! Everything smells so fresh! The gas prices have steadily dropped so it is $1.83. WOW! I remember when the gas prices were 29 cents a gallon. About 40 some years ago! I went to the pool today and had it to myself. My own private pool! Neat! I don't envy any of you up in the cold country. This is the life! I go almost everyday to the pool, but today I went between rain showers. It is such good therapy for achy backs, hips, legs, joints, etc. It is really hard to walk when you have a bad hip. The sky was really busy while I was at the pool. I think about two dozen or more jets came into Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix in about and hours time. They all must have been going to have a late Thanksgiving turkey!!
