Our daughter remodeled our office when we were gone on vacation. We had wonderful a surprise when we arrived home. We had a new beautiful wood floor. The walls were painted a desert tan color and the the outdated popcorn ceiling was gone. Also the popcorn was taken off, our living room and bedroom ceilings. We had a gorgeous new computer desk and dresser. A large new five shelf book case to hold all our books. New window treatment, with new wooden blinds and new teal colored valence. New photos and writing on the wall,which said "May our home know joy each room hold laughter every window open to great possibilities."Our air conditioner was removed from our window and installed into our wall permanently. We had beautiful pictures to accent our Valence on the window. It was so nice and clean. I want to live in it all day now. Thanks for doing such a great job daughter.

We had a fabulous chicken dinner and wonderful live entertainment tonight. A big party for all Seniors 65 and over. I dressed up in my little black dress because it was also our 26 th Wedding Anniversary. Thanked my good Hubby for planning a great evening for our celebration. Here are some photos of some of quartets and young single guy who could balance anything you gave him on his chin. A few pictures are of him ,he started with balancing a tennis racket and a ball on his chin, then a push broom, a vacuum cleaner on his chin, a table, a bicycle, a wheelbarrow and a six foot ladder on his chin. We heard a young female singer who could win American Idol easy. The Colvin Men sang their quartet.Our good friends The Buttons came to celebrate with us.

My Favorite Things

As we grow older we realize how much our favorite things change. I need more pillows of all sizes, to keep me comfortable. More Vitamins and energizers to keep me going. More time to answer the phone. More time to walk to the store. Softer beds and lots of calicum for my old bones, to help me sleep well at night. My friends are my favorite too, cause they put up with me all these years. My Husband and children who have helped me throughout my life. Plus all of the above {This To the Tune of My Favorie Things from the Sound of Music.}

Solar Cooking

<



We live in the Valley of the SUN. Its HOT here, average 100, so I use my Sun Oven to cook meals. These are the photos of a Solar Cooking Class I taught.It was in the Butlers back yard with a gorgeous swimming pool. We made a delicious Corn Casserole, Rolls, cookies, and a Zucchini Casserole. We wore sunglasses to keep the sun oven reflectors from damaging our eyes. Twenty people showed up to learn how to cook in a sun oven. It was a great success.I showed how to make Sun oven using a five gallon pail and your car sun shade. This could be used for hiking, because it was so light weight to carry,to cook your meals. You can double click on these photos to enlarge them.

Enrichment Night

Our Relief Society Enrichment Night was wonderful. Here is the announcement which I thought was very creative. I gave the following talk on the Blessings of Living in Arizona. We had Somborros and Curros for our school snack. The tables were decorated with Photos of Spectaular scenes to visit here in Arizona. Games for kids to play. and Southwest school snacks.
