Here we are another day in paradise but one person short, we have had Elaines mom with us for the last month but yesterday she had to fly home to the cold. It was a tearful day but we hear she made it safe and sound and we are sure she will be glad to be home and get back to her routine.
While she was here we tried to get out and do a few things, last week we went up to Fountain Hills and around by Scottsdale here are a couple of those pictures.
Mom and Ron in front of the fountain, it goes off on the hour, every hour as long as it is not to windy.
We heard that the Mesa Community College had a nice rose garden so Elaine got brave and drove down the freeway and found the right exit, those 6 lane road can give you the chills when you are not used to driving them. The roses were not quite as nice as the ones in our park but there were lots of them.
We had a big Thanksgiving dinner here in the park and then everyone gets started decorating for Christmas. The only display we could find to take her to see before she went home was at the temple of the Latter Day Saints and it truly was beautiful.
Well we hope she had a good visit with us and that her winter will be at least a little shorter now.
Last night we took in a movie we had been waiting to see, Lincoln, it was good but a little drawn out. Okay so bring on December we are ready for it, Curt, our oldest grandson, comes to visit in just under a month. Yippee.......wish the rest of the gang could come too.... Love to all
