"PLAYING GAMES"!

Hello blogging friends! Thank you so much for visiting with me today!

Gosh, it's hard to believe that I only have till next Wednesday to spend here being with my daughter Michele. The time is flying by so darn fast!!

We have had alot of fun these past couple of days also! Monday we went to visit a place called "Mystery Castle" here in Phoenix. It was quite interesting to see! I took a bunch of pictures while there and will share them later. After we visited there, we went and visited the Heard Museum..which also was very interesting! We got to see alot of beautiful pottery, handcarved dolls, gorgeous woven blankets, paintings, just to name a few items that we saw. Everything that caught our eyes was just totally beautiful! Then after visiting the museum, Michele asked if I'd like to go to Tucson, Az. to see the hospital where she worked at, and her apartments when she lived there.. I said sure! Again, everything was absolutely gorgeous! I just fell in love all with the beautiful mountains, cacti, homes, yards, etc.. It was quite awesome when Michele was telling me what each plant name was! I am very bad at remembering the name of plants and flowers, and trees, etc! I also have pictures to share of Tucson to share with you too! On our way home we saw a looong fast moving train, and I could just picture in my mind the cowboy days when they got stopped and robbed! I tried to take a picture of the fast, moving train, but it was way too dark out for doing anymore picture taking.. Oh well.. that's okay, as I got plenty of other neat pictures taken!

Then, guess what Michele and I did for most of the day yesterday?? Give up?? We played her new Wii game system that she received yesterday!! Oh what a ball we had!! We played all the sport games except for the boxing. I don't think we have ever laughed as hard as we did when we were playing those games!! I am really amazed that I'm not real sore today, as we played those games for I bet you, over 5 hours straight!! I won't find out till this evening when Michele gets home from work to see if she's sore from playing them.. I hope she isn't, as she already has a bad back, and is on her feet at her workplace for 12 hours.. Michele is good at making sure that her Mom gets lots of good exercise while visiting here with her, whether it's getting exercise by going Mall shopping, sight seeing or by playing the Wii!! No matter what we do, we always have fun!!

This sure is another beautiful day here in Phoenix! I love looking out Michele's windows and seeing the beautiful sun shine and gorgeous blue sky! Hopefully spring weather will be coming to each one of our homes soon! Seems like I'm looking forward to Spring even more so this year compared to the other years! I guess it's cause I love living with warm weather a whole bunch more than I do cold weather!

You all have a wonderful day!

It's Friday!!

Good Morning!
Hello once again friends! Gosh, here it is Friday already! The time spent here visiting Michele is going by so fast..waaaay tooo fast! I am enjoying every second, that's for sure!

Michele posted a few pictures on my sidebar here.. The first one is a picture of Jamie, Michele and me, and then the second picture is the Montezuma Castle, and yes, I am wearing a winter coat, as it's about 20 degrees colder up there than what it is here in Phoenix.. The castle was quite amazing to see, no doubt about that!

Michele has this weekend off. I'm not exactly sure of what all is on our agenda for this weekend. Knowing Michele, we'll have something new & exciting to see and/or do this weekend! She is so good at planning things to do!
She has a bunch of things she'd like to have me (us) see and do before I have to leave.. and the only time we can do anything is on her days off from work. She works 3 or 4 days on the 12 hour shift per day a week at the hospital and I feel so bad that she isn't getting the good rest she should be getting on her days off.. as she's been busy entertaining Mom.. which I know she doesn't mind doing.. but still, it isn't letting her get rested up the way she should be either.. Sometimes, when we are doing something different, out of the ordinare, I find that in itself, can also be relaxing to one.. So, I guess it all just depends on the person as to what is or isn't relaxing to them.. I think I'd find entertaining a family member or friend on my days off from my workplace relaxing too, like Michele does, and especially if it was knowing that person was enjoying as much as I was the plans of the day!

My thoughts and prayers are with those of you who are having all the snow and bad weather.. Hopefully it won't last very long, and I'm hoping that spring will be here soon for everyone to enjoy!

You all take care and keep safe now!

It's with a heavy heart that I write that Westin passed away to be with our Lord this morning. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers.
Thank you all for your prayers..

Our Visit With The Past!

Good Morning!
Michele and I went to see the Montezuma Castle yesterday! Oh my goodness, how very awesome it was to see! To think that people actually stayed in the rooms there! I told Michele that I'd love to be able to climb up there just to have a peek inside the open chissled out windows, but, she said, "Mom, You're on your own"! So.. I just decided to take a few more pictures of the castle, but I sure would have loved to had a better view of what it looked like on the inside. I could just imagine how it must have been living back in those days. I told Michele that I don't think I'd make surviving back then, but, we all do seem to live ok in the era we are living in, so, I think I would have made it ok.. There'd be no other choice, but to do so! Right?

Then, we headed on to Sedona, Az. Talk about seeing something absolutely beautiful, and so very awesome looking, those Red Rocks were definately it! Oh My!! To think that all of it was natural. Nothing carved or chissled out to make these! We got to see Bell Rock, Coffee Pot Rock,Cathedral and Courthouse Rock, among others.. Sooo very beautiful!

If you ever get a chance to come to Arizona, I highly recommend seeing both of these fabulous places! I will share pictures with you all when I get back..

The weather is gorgeous here! Yesterday it was 75 and today it's supposed to be 73.. I can handle these temps! It is beautiful here, especially this time of the year!

You all have a wonderful day!

Phoenix Is Beautiful!

Hi Everyone!
I made it here! My daughter Michele met me at the airport! So wonderful seeing her again!! I had a wonderful flight, and it was right on time! We met my son Jamie at his motel, and then we all went out to eat at PF Chang's. It was sooo good and the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful! It sure seemed great being with my two kids! I always love sharing time together with all of them!

It was great to wake up to the sounds of birds tweeting, since we don't have any to speak of until spring! I did wake up to rain, but it didn't last long, and the sun is shining so pretty out there now!

We are planning on getting together with Jamie later after his classes are over..probably around 5pm or so. Jamie has to head back to Ca. tomorrow. Wish he could stay longer, that's for sure!

You all take care now and have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,
