A Day At Disney
Well Tuesday was spent recuperating and Lauren being 7 recuperated very quickly. 7 year olds have an amazing capacity for bouncing back and then it's all about how to keep them entertained. There is a park at the end of our road that has a playing field, swings, slide and sand so by Tuesday afternoon […]
Happy Mothers Day!
Well, I have had a wonderful Mothers Day. My daughter Rosanne arrived yesterday with her husband Michael and best of all (sorry Rosanne and Michael) they brought my granddaughter Lauren. Yippee! This morning we went to the park and then walked over the hill to Starbucks for a hot chocolate. That was fun till Lauren […]
The world as I know it….GONE
Well from where I sit anyway! Woke up this morning to FOG! A small amount of snow fell last night, negligible really but the world had disappeared. Not something I am used to here in Utah, a complete white out from snow yes but FOG? The world climate it certainly changing, the south of England […]
A Nice Quiet Christmas
This Christmas was exceptionally quiet for us, usually we have family and/or Vanessa here for at least a week. This year Vanessa decided to stay in Costa Rica and come to us for Thanksgiving and Jeanette volunteered to dog sit for another friend of mine, Kathy. On Christmas day we always eat the big "dinner" […]
California here we come!
Well I have to say I do like Arizona, for a vacation that is, I think it would be waaaay too hot in the summer. As some of you may have heard by now Tim has accepted a job in California, He'll be running a company called Grotto Wine Cellars (they actually make wine cellars, […]
Arizona is pretty cool
I have to say that I really like Arizona, but not in the heat of summer! I don’t live here year round so it’s easy to say you like a place when you are only visiting. You don’t have to put up with scorpions in the house and 115F heat for months on end. We […]
Our trip to Arizona (again!)
We must really love Arizona as we keep coming back. We came this time to get some sun and warmth, sun we can always get in Utah but lately it has been freezing cold. It takes about 12 hours (depending on how you drive, Kathy can get to Phoenix in 10 hours but she drives […]
Saturday June 6th 2009 (Day 11)
Saturday June 6th 2009 (Day 11) I think today everyone decided to sleep in, not surprising really! However, we did get together with Claire and Gianni at his parents house in the afternoon as Tim had left his laptop there and we needed to retrieve it. Unfortunately, Claire had a migraine, again not surprising considering […]
Not Quite a Disaster But Pretty Close! 3rd June 2009
Wednesday June 3rd 2009 ( Day 8 ) Today is the day we drive from Rome to Foggia. We have to pick up the car at 10am at the Hertz office in the station. We were going to send Tim off to get the car and then try to put the cases and stuff in […]
Another Disaster….. June 1st and 2nd 2009
Monday June 1st 2009 (Day 6 Part Two!) Well McDonald’s was not as cheap as we had hoped and the reason why is……. Tim had his Blackberry stolen! It was in it’s holster on his belt but instead of being in front it was nearer his back, the strap holding it down is only magnetic […]
Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps 31st May to 1st June 2009
Sunday 31st May 2009 (still Day 5) There are loads of pictures in my facebook albums. Let me know if you can’t get access. Last night was wonderful, we went off in search of the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps and found both. Apparently the Spanish steps are supposed to be for lovers and have […]
WOW We’re In ROME!!! 30th May to 31st May 2009
Saturday 30th May 2009 (Day 4) Today is Saturday and we arrived in Rome about 10 pm. The flight thankfully was uneventful except when I took out my plastic bag of liquids I dropped it and smashed my liquid foundation! You know I wonder sometimes, am I really that much of a klutz? Is life […]
OMG We’re in England! 27th to 29th May 2009
Wednesday 27th May 2009 (Day 1) We’re in England!Well the day started as I hope the rest of the vacation doesn’t go on! After landing at Heathrow, 30 minutes early Wednesday lunchtime we ended up sitting on the tarmac for 40 minutes while the other planes all got out of the way so we could […]
We’re back in Utah but……
Well we are now back in Utah after an uneventful 10 hour drive, couldn’t update the blog yesterday due to all the mail that needed opening and going through but here it is, the last saga of our vacation. It’s a vacation how could it be a saga you ask? Well remember this is me, […]
Still in Sedona
Good Grief, it’s Friday already and the week is almost over, it’s amazing how fast the time fly’s when you’re having fun! I’ve been really lazy just sitting around reading. I’m reading an amazing book called “Train Your Mind Change Your Brain”. It’s a book on studies that show how your brain is actually very […]
On Vacation in Sedona
Well, we did it, we finally managed to get away on vacation. I never thought it would happen because we have been so busy and as always whenever you book a vacation months in advance when the time finally comes you realize it is the MOST inconvenient time! If you have been following these posts […]
No Quilting For A Week!!!
If you decide to look at the Slide Presentation to the right make sure you go to the first slide, you can tell you are there because it say’s ‘Slide One’ along with some inane comment! We did have wonderful week there this time (no snow – see last post) but I did get withdrawal […]

For those of you that are interested you can double click the slide show to the right and get a better view of our week in Arizona. I must say it was just as good as last year but no where near as hair raising. Last year we went in February and it decided to […]
