WINTERING IN ARIZONA

Spending the winter here in Mesa and doing one of my favorite things - Softball. 5 months of softball and tennis and golf. Char is loving the quilting, lapidary, and jewelry activities here in the park. Oak Ridge Boys did their concert here in the park this week and put on a great show. Well the last week of the softball season and no pulled mustles so it was a good and we finished in first place.

Halloween in Fresno

It must be Halloween time at the grand kids house. It is always fun time to visit the pumkin patch with the grand kids.

Clare's first visit and Kate's return even after last years scare on the pony ride.





Guess who we are going to be on Halloween night?

Travels in August and September 2005

Spent August at the grandbabies house - after our great trip through out Colorado. Left Fresno and went up the California coast and Oregon coast to the Monaco rally in Salem Oregon. After a great month in Oregon back to California for doctor appointments and more grandbaby visit. Off to my 40 high school reunion in Carmel on October 20. Then it is softball time in Mesa Arizona and another year has gone all to fast again. Oh well, we are having fun!

Tight fit but we left no paint on the tree

Fun at Shaver Lake

The first time we have been in a woodsy campground. Three of us in bit rigs squeezed into sites at Camp Edison campground at Shaver Lake. Even though it was tight fits for all of us, and no one could get level or get satellite, they did have cable and wifi. The lake at 5500 ft required a pretty good climb out of the valley to get there with lots of curves and narrow roads. But lots to do there; hiking, boating, fishing, off road trails, and a lumber jack festival when we were there as well.
