Springtime in Arizona

It is so enjoyable to read your blog entries and to see the pictures you post. I check them almost every day.

Grandma and I are doing quite well and are sure enjoying the springtime in Arizona. The daily high's are generally in the 70's, though this weekend they are predicting we will hit 80. The night-time low's are in the 40's. With the recent rains and the warming temps., everything is really getting green. The poppies and desert marigolds are in bloom and many more of the plants are just starting to blossom.

Diane, Jim and family invited us to go with them today, for a visit to the "Titanic" exhibit which is traveling through Phoenix. We are unable to go with them because, Grandma is getting over a bad cough. She feels quite well, but her cough would clear out the whole exhibit hall and she doesn't want to be arrested for suspicion of spreading TB or something worse.

Pete and Jessica are excited about their new home, being built in Chandler (the southeast part of the valley, about 30 minutes from here. We were able to tour the model home, with their floor plan. It reminds me quite a lot of Keven and Melissa's. The day we were there, they had just poured the concrete slab and within three days, she sent us a picture that showed the framing was done. "Amazing".

Their little boy, Cameron, had his one year old birthday party and had the traditional chocolate cake and sugar high. Following his party and the tour of the "home site", we went to a barbecue place in Mesa, that Pete highly recommended. The food was really very good.

Our plans are, to head back to Beaver around the 28th of April, after Grandma is finished with her scrapbook convention with "the girls". She sure looks forward to that each year.

We miss you all and are so thankful for all of you and what you mean to us.
Love, GMa & GPa
