Fall 2024

James and Beka were here for a visit in early Oct.  
LA isn't too far away for a quick trip!!

Oct 14-24 th we took a trip to Cinci to see siblings and 
8 nieces and nephews! Especially to watch Vince play football 
- one of the last games to see a Guyer guy play!!
It was the first time in years since we've all been together -
with spouses!

 
 On the way home we stopped to see Jack and
Christine in Kansas City!  We enjoyed a great
Irish meal together!

Beka came home for a few days for her birthday, Nov 13th!
Hard to believe our baby is 32!!
She had to move when she returned to LA - but at least
it was within the same buildiing!
Adah is a licensed driver!  So proud of this girl!
We drove to San Antonio to see the Nelson's for 
Thanksgiving!  We surprised the kids at a coffee shop,
 and Owen at his house!!


Deb's fantastic cooking for Thanksgiving!  Homemade everything!
We enjoyed 6 days together... hanging around the house,
playing games and taking hikes!


The rest of the family together in Arizona for Thanksgiving!!
 
Visiting Carrie and Rick's  - south of San Antonio!
It was a great day and evening just chillin on their ranch
outside of Floresville!

We drove home a different way - spent the 
night in Roswell - didn't see an actual alien 
but lots of 👽👽👽stuff!! 
Visited Ruidoso, NM  - a cute artsy town
in the mountains of New Mexico!


Glad to be home!  
Not planning another trip for a while😂

Summer 2024

We made it through another long and hot summer!
Just one more week of 100 degree temps!
 
 Beka was here till August 1st when she moved back to LA.
 She took a trip to LA to find an apartment.
Root is waiting for Beka to get home!
 
Out on the town at the Hitchin Post in AJ!
4 grandkids are Blackbelts in Taekwondo...
proud Aunt and Grandparents!

July 4th fun at Macs !
 Tim's 72nd Birthday at The Handlebar in AJ!
 
On Aug 1st we packed and moved Beka to LA
and helped her get a bit settled, just for a day!
James was out of town but we got to spend a couple
nights in his great apartment!

Back home - 
planting arms from our fallen Saguaro, hoping they grow!
 
Dad fixed Beka's keyboard!
 
The 20 year old kitchen counter needed new grout...
so Tim got a special saw to get the old stuff
out.  I refinished the wood edge and we put
in really good grout that should last! 
Such a wonderful improvement!

There was fire on the Mountain,
haven't seen this in all the 37 yrs we've been here!
Thankful it didn't get closer.

 We finally coordinated schedules and had Adah spend night.
So amazing that our oldest grand is almost 16!
Such a great time just hanging out.
 Away with Tim for our 46th Anniversary & my 69th birthday!
A beautiful solar lantern birthday gift from Deb! 
 Love the addition to my cactus garden!
