The first week of July

Busy......Mark and I have been that this week! He flew in on Tuesday, July 3rd and that is the same day we moved into the town house. One furniture store delivered our new king sized bed and furniture that exact day and also our dining room table and chairs. We went with a pub sized table and just love it. It is good with our long legs.....well his anyway. The sofa and love seat arrive tomorrow. That will be very good, as sitting on patio chairs in the living room isn't all that much fun! We bought Andy and Megan's 57" TV as they wanted to get a new Plasma. Maybe I should say Andy wanted a new plasma. :-) We had DishNet installed yesterday morning so we at least now have that to watch, if we had some spare time....... Wednesday we have Internet installed, thank goodness. I have been missing that greatly, thus the reason for very few posts this past week. Between all the installations poor Mark has been working hard at scrubbing floors, dusting, vacuuming, cleaning garage floors and patio floors. He has also been a godsend with his handyman persona on all the little things that need fixing, etc. While he does that I am painting all the rooms. It should look really nice when we get all finished. I will post some pictures of our "second" home when we get all done!

We spent the 4th working for most of the day but took a break in the late afternoon to visit Andy, Megan and Drew. They spent most of the time in the pool and I videotaped. Be watching for Drew's first dunking in an upcoming video. I wasn't too keen on daddy doing that but Drew took it just fine! It was worse on grandma. He begins swim lessons soon and that is a very good thing. A pair of two year-olds had near drownings this week-end, one is fine but they don't think the other will make it. How terribly tragic, and adults were all out in the same yard. Horrors......

Saturday night we took Sharon and Arne out to dinner at the Satisfied Frog in Cave Creek. Fun atmosphere and good conversation and good salad bar. We wanted to thank them for all the weeks of hospitality they have extended to us both while we awaited the town house to be empty. I think I will rather miss going up there every week-end and staying in beautiful Terravita! I will always visit often, though.

Well, that is what we have been up to here in the heat of the desert. Hope you all had a wonderful 4th. I, of course, must post a few photos I have taken along the way. :-)
