What a summer!!
Lots of changes - Lots of moving!!
We drove to LA on July 17th to move Beka home.
Tim rented a trailer which we loaded the next day,
well Root and I guarded it outside as it was
being loaded. We had a great time, visiting
James and the neighborhood park before heading out.
Clay and Ray met us to unload at home!
In Aug, Kristin, our niece was in AZ for a Nursing thing.
We met her in downtown Phoenix and had a
wonderful meal and time together!
Beka was here for almost exactly two months.
It was great having her here. She started a job at Coach
in early Sept, but got to enjoy chillin in this desert for a while.
We got to see 3 Mac girls play music!!
Adah on lead guitar...
Emsley on vocals...
Letty on violin!
So amazing to see how they continue in their skills!
Many videos in the 2025 Video link below!
Emsley on the promotional poster!!
James visited the week of Sept 14th to look for an apartment.
He started working remote for NIKE so decided to leave
LA and live in AZ again....after years being away. What an
amazing week - as James and Beka both secured apartments
in the same complex to move into the next week!
We celebrated our 47th Anniversary on the 16th...
a special pizza night with James and Beka!!
The next day was my 70th Birthday.
I was told we would celebrate on the 19th, so Tim
took me out on my actual birthday for a quiet dinner.
Turns out there was a surprise party waiting for
me!! I was shocked, as I usually figure these things out!
What a very fun celebration with so many of my special
people!! They gave me gifts: A Coach wallet and an
electric bass guitar and amp! What??
They said it's time for me to do something I've always wanted
to do! I've figured out how to tune it so we'll see how
it goes teaching this old dog new tricks!! After the restaurant
fun we were given an address to meet them all at. They
rented a 'boat' and we all had a great time motoring
around Tempe Town Lake with great music, thanks to
Adah's playlist, and a gluten & lectin free birthday cake!
I love my special family and am so thankful for each one!
70th Birthday Album - Many many pics and videos!!
So after that busy week we rented a trailer on the 26th.
Clay and Ray came to help load it. We then all moved
Beka into her new apartment! Such a big day -
That same morning, Letty's pig, Lucy had her piglets!!
At 4 am the next morning
Tim drove the trailer to LA. James had help there and
they loaded up the trailer and drove to a hotel in Palm
Springs. They drove in the next day and we unloaded
into James' apartment on the 28!
Hopefully no more moves or U-Haul's for a while!
A new chapter has started for the Burnham's in AZ
