Snow again

Well here it is February 27 and we have 6 inches of snow on the ground. For the second time this year we have had to cancel church services because of the weather. It is, however, beautiful as we now have clear blue skies and the snow is just beautiful.

We were down in the valley all last week for some medical procedures which all went well. We have to wait 4 to 8 weeks to get results from Wayne's tests but mine all came back normal. We also went to the opening game for the Diamondbacks new spring training facility. The park is beautiful and it is good to have baseball again.

Next week we start our annual volunteering duties at Surprise Stadium for spring training. I volunteer as an usher and Wayne is a ticket taker. It is a lot of fun with a lot of really nice people (The Surprise Sundancers (no we don't dance)) and we get to see a lot of baseball. The Texas Rangers and the Kansas City Royals play at Surprise Stadium and the park is beautiful.

Eric and Amy are very excited because not only did we get to spend all week with them last week we will be seeing a lot of them through March because their house is close to the stadium!!

Well, we have done it again. Seems like everytime we stay in Phoenix for an extended period we make some big purchase. Yesterday we went in to the Honda dealership to get the oil changed in the CR-V. While we were waiting we started looking at this car and before we knew it we were driving it home!! It is a 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour and we love it. It appears that they took the front of the Accord and the rear of the CR-V and put them together. We have more cargo space than we did in the CR-V and the passenger seats are much more comfortable. Because it is a 2010 and because they really wanted the CR-V as a trade-in we got a really good deal. The kids all think we are crazy and maybe we are but we love this new car.



It is red, of course, because we both really like red cars.

We are packing and cleaning up the trailer today to get ready to go home tomorrow. We decided we will unload the trailer while we are here as it is really cold at home right now. It is cold (for us) and windy down here with a high of only 45 - I'm not complaining as I know how cold it is for you guys in the Midwest but it is cold for us!

The baby is beautiful and I will miss holding her. We are babysitting the girls tonight so Nick and Shelley can go out for dinner for their 9th anniversary - works out well for both of us.
