A busy day







Began the day with an 11:00 baby shower at one of Megan's fellow attorney's home. It was a wonderful affair with the BEST food I have ever had at a shower of any type. Many guests and Megan and son fared "very" well in the gift department. Andy's trailblazer was filled to the brim on the way home. She received more baby presents than Mark and I did wedding presents!! When we got home around 2:00 we started trying to organize the baby's room and see what items might still need to be purchased before the arrival of their son. My assessment is that not much will need to be purchased immediately. We weren't really finished going through everything but then it was time for Mark and I to head to the airport and return the rental and get through security. It was hard to leave......I wanted one more walk with the dog and one more chance to give daughter a much needed massage. :-)

Our flight was good and Dan and Katie were there to pick us up right on time. Dan drove the Camry home. Good thing....I don't think I recall how to drive it after a 3 week layoff!!

There is NO snow on the ground. Evidently what came down last night melted off today. Dan and Katie said it has been really warm the whole time we were gone. Unbelievable for Dec-January.

The pics are from Megan's shower today. I need some sleep. Later.......

Our last day in AZ...


and I am sure our daughter and son-in-law are breathing a sigh of relief. We came "close" to the point of overstaying our welcome I am sure! It will be nice when the town house becomes available and we won't have to bug people for a place to stay any longer. I cannot say I am exicted to get home and if you take a look at the picture Katie sent of their place across the road from us you will see why I am not elated. I hardly remember snow! :-)

Megan's c0-workers from her firm are having a baby shower today at 11. I am glad our flight is not until tonight so that I can attend. They needs lots of stuff so a shower is a good thing. :-)

Well, my next posting will be from warm and sunny Iowa. Until then.............
