SNOW!

Watching TV news and drinking coffee. Looked out a window at my neighbors and saw snow. Jumped up and opened a window and it is snowing! Grabbed my camera and took some pictures and then came back in and took some more from the warmth inside.

So much for sunny Arizona. Bet the snowbirds are upset. At least it isn't 4-5 feet, just inches.

Water Damage

Yeh! just minimul damage. The frame on one of my favorites, but I can fix it. I lost a poster, but again not much as I only paid $5. for it. Most everything is in plastic tubs and that helped. There were a few cardboard boxes and some things had to be repacked. The men that helped me were great and so polite. They put risers under everything and organized my tubs. The office manager wanted to rent my desk so I rented it to her for $75. a month. cool!

I brought some things back with me for my new place. Lizards and garden stuff. Also my painting supplies as the storage shed and pic nik table need painting. I'm thinking of tan with a deep burgandy trim to match my 5th wheel.

Today I'm moving to my new RV lot and am excited to get there and get settled. Not looking forward to backing in to the spot but I've done it before, so here goes! Wish me luck:)

more later.

Storage - water damage

Tomorrow I'm on my way to Santa Fe to check out the water damage. Apparently I have damp suitcases and frames on some of my art. I'm worried about the art and some of my wood furniture. My appointment is for 9am Monday. Should take the whole day. They have some one to help me, so I don't have to do it alone. I think I have the option of moving to a dry unit. I think I will take it. I need to see what all I have so I know if I can get it all in my new storage shed on my new RV lot.

I took my sisters and brother to see it and they all thought it would be good for me. I really like the area and I will have some room. I'm to close to my neighbors here and there are not any planned activities. At my new place I can be as busy as I want or not. I'm moving there when I get back from Santa Fe. My neighbors will watch Billie for me and I was just to tired to move.

I'll let you know how much damage when I get back.

Sisters Visit

My sister, Sheryl and sister in law, Jo were here for a week. We had a great time and I enjoyed their visit. Jo missed her flight here and came in late that afternoon. As I had tickets for us to go to a Cowboy Poetry concert I asked my brother, Eddie, to pick her up. Sheryl and I went to the concert and picked her up the next day at our brothers. Since we were in Tucson we decided to go to the Tucson Desert Museum. The day was beautiful and naturally the museum was great. We stopped for lunch and some shopping. Then came home and got ready to go to another poetry concert.

Sunday we got up early and picked up Terri, our other sister in law, and went to the Gem Show. The girls shopped and shopped. Lots of good bargains. Then to Terri and Ed's for spegetti dinner. As usual Terri did an outstanding job.

Monday was a "down day", we did laundry, hair etc. Also went to the clubhouse and played bingo. Tuesday we met Ed at Kartchner Caverns. The state does an excellent job with the caverns. It is a "living" cavern and the tour is very good. The weather did not disappoint.

That night we invited Ellen and Joan over to play Mexican Train. Lots of laughs.

Wednesday we drove to Maricopa to visit our niece, Tanya and her family. Sheryl and Jo had not seen the children and Ezra is 3! They are the cutest. Lorraine and Larry drove over to see everyone. It is a 4 1/2 hour trip for them. They stayed for a while and then had to leave to get home at a decent time. We had a good time with everyone and it was so good to see everyone together.

Thursday I had to have Sheryl at the airport by 5am and Jo there by 4:30pm. It was a long day with 2 trips to Tucson in one day.

All in all it was a good time. I don't have a lot of company and we did pretty good concidering the lack of space. Looking forward to their next visit.

COLD!!!

It is COLD! Last night and tonight it is to be in the single digits. Yesterday I did not have any water. I had disconnected the hose but did not drain it and it froze. Naturally it did not warm up enough yesterday to drain it until late in the afternoon. Never did get it cleared enough to have water. I've been filling a pitcher from the outside fawcett and just using that. Looks like the same thing again today. It is supposed to get up to 33 degrees.

I'm going to take a shower at the park shower. Even though I have not been to active (it is to cold to go outside) I do need one.

I was going to take my neighbors, Bob & Ellen, to the gem show in Tucson but it was to cold. I called my friends that have a booth there and they did not even set up yesterday. We are going tomorrow. The cold air should be gone by noon and apparently it is to be in the 50's in Tucson Friday.

Even though it is so cold at least I'm not in the northeast. I love the southwest and the desert.
