HAPPY NEW YEAR

ALL’S WELL IN ARIZONA AND WE MADE IT INTO THE NEW YEAR, 2014. FOR US THE NEW YEAR BRINGS ABOUT OUR LONG AWAITED CHANGE IN LIVING ARRANGEMENTS. WE WILL BE LIVING IN THE MOHAVE VALLY ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER FOR SIX MONTHS (NOV – APRIL) , AND ON “THE MOUNTAIN” IN SHOW LOW, AZ THE OTHER SIX MONTHS (MAY – OCT). IT WAS A LONG STRETCH OF FIVE HOT SUMMERS ON THE LOWER DESERT.

THE LAST SPRING BREAK WITH MY GRANDSONS IS COMING UP IN APRIL. AFTER FOUR YEARS, INSTEAD OF BEING AN 8 HOUR DRIVE AWAY, THE SAUCERS ARE MOVING CLEAR ACROSS THE NATION TO DAYTON, OH. WE ARE GOING TO MISS SPENDING THREE OR FOUR WEEK-ENDS A YEAR WITH THEM.

WE HAVE TWO BIG ROADTRIPS COMING UP IN 2014, WISCONSIN IN MAY, AND TEXAS IN OCTOBER. IT’S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A VACATION TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

MEAN WHILE “AZ” AND I SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE OUT ON THE PORCH MAKING PLANS, WRITING LISTS, AND DAY DREAMING IN THE WARM JANUARY SUNSHINE.
