This and that.....

We leave tomorrow for Arizona. Mark and I are really excited to go. Mark gets to meet his granddog Sox for the very first time. I foresee him getting a rousing welcome from Sox, as Sox gives everyone a rousing welcome. We also look forward to seeing their remodeled kitchen and the progress being made on the new pool in the backyard. Sister Sharon had invited me to go hiking on Monday with her but then said we should wait until Wednesday because of this:

...A COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH UNSETTLED WEATHER THIS WEEKEND...A MUCH COLDER AIRMASS SETTLES OVER ARIZONA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY... UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL DEVELOP WITH A THREAT FOR SHOWERS EACH DAY....HOWEVER HIKERS... CAMPERS...AND MOTORISTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF MAJOR CHANGE TOWARD COLD UNSETTLED WEATHER.

:-( Oh well, it gets better after this system pushes through!

Matt had to leave Wednesday for Kearny, NE to take classes and tests for his appraiser license renewal. While sleeping at his hotel some apparent punks trashed his car. He was livid and I can't blame him. They took a crowbar to all his windows but they didn't shatter but all have to be replaced none the less. The small port window in the back door did shatter and they stole some CD's and a coat. His back seat is full of shattered glass and shards. The crowbar was also used on his door to try to open it and that was mangled all to hell, too. I feel so badly for him but I suppose worse things could have happened, such as an accident. I am sure they will never catch the jerks that did this. Some people's kids!! Geez.

To all my friends and relatives, wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See ya next year!
