Spring Training

It has been awhile since I last blogged!  There just hasn't been a lot of action here worthy of "reporting".  Things like getting taxes done, putting up a new security light on the garage and replacing a roof tile that was damaged isn't all that interesting!  Of course that was all Mark's doing.  I either would watch him work or would go for long walks.  :-)

The weather here has taken a definite "warm" turn and I am loving it.  Not that it wasn't nice before, but now it is summertime beautiful.  It was such a lovely day today (80) that we decided to go to a baseball spring training game between the Reds and the Padres.  We aren't fans of either team but the field was close to us and we just wanted to enjoy the atmosphere, a beer and a hot dog at the old ball park.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be going several more times, most likely to different parks around the valley.  There is a new one just finished for the Diamondbacks that looks beautiful so that is definitely one where we will attend a game.

We continue to skype with Drew and Kayley.  It makes me so lonesome for them but I just love seeing them, even if on the computer.  They are both changing rapidly and growing up!  I just couldn't stand it any longer so I bought a ticket to Peoria for April 6th for a week's stay.  I can't wait!  Mark will probably be back in Iowa by then and he and Matt are going to drive to Peoria that week-end, too, so it will be a great time! 

Well, that is about all the news I have for now.  We plan to get busy enjoying the rest of our stay here so hopefully I will be posting a bit more often with something besides working!  Below are some pics of our afternoon.  I took a picture of the little girl because I loved her pink BB glove and I think Kayley is going to need one of those very soon!  :-)
