Oh No Snow In Apache Junction!

Feb 20th 2013

Okay family and friends back in Minnesota your going to love this. 

We have had snow in the Superstition Mountains, but never in our own back yard.  Mike may have to buy a snow shovel or move the motorhome.  Actually it was sleet, but it was white and cold.

The picture of the mountain was taken this afternoon it snowed over night in the higher elevations, not that Superstition is that high.

Our steps coming out of the motorhome and the walkway is covered with white stuff. 

Mike installed some blue LED lights on the steps for what ever reason not sure why but they do look very nice especially with the snow.  Cold again tomorrow, this is the coldest winter we’ve in Apache Junction AZ

 

Birthdays And Ballet

Feb 14th 2013

  

Our very good friend, LeeAnn has a birthday on Valentines Day, a double celebration.  Mike smoked a pork butt for pulled pork sandwiches, and everybody brought side dishes what a party it was.  There was 11 of us in the new gazebo a bit crowded but it worked okay. 

By the way she is a very young 67. 

 

Sunday Feb the 17th 12 of us took the light rail to downtown Phoenix to Symphony Hall for the Ballet, Romeo and Juliet.  It was amazing we had great seats, and the hall was packed.  Only one problem it always ends the same, you just wish their love could have been for always.

The weather is a little chilly this year, makes no difference we are keeping very busy.  Loving life as always.

  

Happy Valentines Day

Thursday Feb. 14th 2013

Rich my son called the other day and asked when I was going to start the blog again.  I said I would do it today.  I guess I got pretty lazy or really busy, just seemed like it was never the right time.

We were lucky Rich spent a long weekend with us here in Apache Junction, well not really with us, him and Ken and LeeAnn's son Marcel came for the big Barrett Jackson car show.

Rich and Marcel have been friends since grade school.  Marcel lived just down the street from us.  They build forts, raced their dirt bikes, snowmobiled and got into plenty of trouble together as teenagers.  Not any real trouble just boy stuff.

 

A couple of really good looking guys.  Rich on the left and Marcel on the right.

 

Our friends in the park, Sandy and Dave Beckett had us all over for lunch on Sunday before the boys flew back to Minnesota. 

LeeAnn took  a picture of Rich and I at her house. 

Happy Valentines day.
