We have had beautiful weather in Phoenix and we both are greatful for our good fortune to be out of the wintry blast many are experiencing. I worry about my friends and loved ones driving in that nasty weather. Stay safe!
Mark and I have had a fun few weeks. We spent three days in Laughlin, NV for a nice getaway and a little gambling and really great food. We try to do this once every winter as we do enjoy it!
We are looking forward to a visit from sister Sharon and Arne at the end of the month, as well as our visit to the Phoenix Open at the same time. Last year we went to all four days but don't know about this year. We will play it by ear. It is "the greatest show on grass" as they say. :-)
We continue to go the fitness center four times per week. I am not positive I am getting any stronger but we enjoy it. I also try to hike several times a week and that is a huge enjoyment for me. Lots of beauty in the desert and mountains!
Needless to say, I am lonesome for my three grandchildren. So lonesome that I bought another plane ticket for a quick Valentine's Day visit. :-) Mark is holding the fort down here in Phoenix while I fly to Peoria. I think our Xmas plane ride was plenty for him for awhile. :-) We will also be traveling with them and Matt over the kid's spring break so we are super excited for that trip.
Some random pictures from our days in the desert....
