Catching Up

I haven't been posting since we've settled down to a fairly normal routine here in Arizona for the winter. I figure you're all just not that interested in hearing about us visiting with friends and family in this area or going to movies or playing golf or hanging out reading books or having the occassional happy hour with some of the neighbors. But still, it's probably time to make an entry to keep things up to date.

I crocheted a blanket for my great-nephew Matthew for Christmas. I hadn't crocheted anything in a long time and I forgot how much I enjoy it. I just picked up a pattern book for crocheting stuffed animals, so I'll try my hand at that next.

In late January, our niece Lorrie Grace came to Arizona to visit her friend Kim who lives in Flagstaff. She had to fly out of the Phoenix airport, so we met up with her and Kim for lunch before Lorrie's flight. We loved seeing her again, even for such a short time. And it was fun visiting with Kim who we hadn't seen since before we left Alaska.

Shortly after that, Tom's brother Bill came to visit us for 5 days. He and Tom had a great time playing golf almost every day.

Yesterday we spent the day at a dog show in Scottsdale. We didn't enter either of our dogs, we just went up to socialize with friends we generally only see at dog shows.

So, that's more or less the highlights of the last couple months. I'll try to be better about posting updates every couple weeks even when nothing overly exciting is going on.
