We had a beautiful Fall at home in our lovely desert!
With the cooler weather we were able to get the whole
yard trimmed and raked ... in preparation for
guests and just because it needed to be done and
I love doing it.
Tim has enjoyed some great hikes and bike rides.
I spent time at PT and doing exercises to
strengthen this hurting body.
We got to see Adah and Emsley test for their
blackbelts in Taekwondo! So amazing to watch all their skills!
All 4 kids were ready to test but Caden had two broken hands
from doing a backflip off his swing, so had to postpone
his testing. Letty is waiting to test in the
summer (she's only 9 - but fierce!)
Letty and Mousy came over to spend the night!
Letty wanted to be fancy rich people, go to the Mall and
ride elevators and escalators. We instead rode the light rail
to the Sky Train and rode many huge escalators and elevators
at the Airport! I think she and mousy were tired
by the end of the day... grammy and papa sure were!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with
just half the family here... missed Beka and
the Nelson's but it was a full house just the same!
We had plenty of great food, took a lovely after
dinner walk and played a fun game of
Apples to Apples - Wonderful to be together!
The next day we met at the theater (a first!) to
see the new Disney movie that James had been
working on! We all enjoyed it and James was asked
for his autograph (since he's famous!!)
We had our typical Mexican food night the day after
Thanksgiving at the Macs and enjoyed sitting around the fire!
My dear roommate from before marriage came to visit,
December 1-7th! We haven't seen each other for
over 30 yrs as she's been living in Germany.
We've talked over the phone the last few years
but it was extra special to re-connect in person!
45 yrs apart ... I guess we've aged, but
our connection is stronger!
What seems like it would be an easier Fall was pretty
exhausting for grammy. I have 2 weeks to rest up and get
ready before Christmas and the Nelson's coming!!
