Day 14

Spring Snow! Here we are in flagstaff for my husbands company meeting! They thought that this would be a great time of the year! Well mother nature had other ideas. So far the roads are open but not going north. He is in a meeting and i am walking around. Not really dressed for the snow but warm enough. Snow is always pretty it makes everything clean, then in a few days dirty piles of snow everywhere. I don't think that the snow will be around a long time, a few days of arizona sun and warmth and it will be gone. The kids are at home which is the opposite, she goes to school up here and he didn't want to come up and hang out in an hotel room so she went down to stay and hang with him. What are sisters for. Thanks Toya!

Day 13

Well it has been awhile since i put on a picture. But a lot has gone on, we had spring break last week the week before my daughters car was in the shop so on Thursday before spring break I went to flagstaff to pick her up in the afternoon. So needless to say I have been a little busy. We didn't do a whole lot during the week but we did stay busy and it went fast. My daughter wanted to make Shamrock cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day from scratch no less, this is how it turned out. Don't ask me what happenend, the only thing I can think of was that the green dye was really old. Not a clue! So I said lets make them from the box and bought new food coloring and wala it worked. Have a good day!

Day 12

Here is the other picture that I said that I would send. Now remember how big the tires were. I was told that these trucks hold 1200 gallons of diesel fuel, can you imagine filling that up. I was way up above this hole where they are get the rocks from everything looked like matchbox size if not smaller.

Day 11

Well on Saturday I went with a friend who was invited to go to a mine on a tour. Well since I have lived in this area for more then 30 years I thought I have always wanted to go. This mine has been in opperation since 1890? My step dad worked there over 30 years ago for a time it was 1 1/2 hour a day drive. This mine produce's copper. The trucks are huge. This is a picture of a tire see size compared to a regular shovel? Wow. Tomorrow's post will be the truck picture, they are amazing.

Day 10

So well I am trying to get some stuff done on the computer and look I have a visitor. She just walks across the keyboard and this is what she does. fdafjdlksajasgif-disdahghjolkpfjdsakdaso9=ewmv then she sits for a second and then instead of leaving why not just lay down... Come on lets make our-self comfortable. Gee what was I thinking, my kids don't really want to sit on my lap when I am on the computer anymore, the dogs ignore me when I am sitting here, but oh no not the cat-lets just barge in. So we got the camera and took her picture then she got up and walked away. The life of a cat.

Day 9

Well today was an errand day also a day that I started on two not one, but two No Sew Quilts. I am making them for my mother, who has a neighbor that is moving and she wanted to give them something and this is what she came up with of course with my help...

Day 8

I read a blog today about water bottles, and wow I guess from what this person wrote we would never want to drink from water bottles again. It is kind of scary what they say they do and what is actual done. I also watched a video one time on how they prepare our meat and take care of the animals that we eat. Yuck... It is kinda sad the way the market has turned from making clean good food to making the animals bigger so you can just make more money. Well I can tell you that is wrong. But someday I want to buy my own beef from farmers that care for the animals and the people they sell to, like not putting hormones in the beef and just farm raising them. We have chicken's we don't have like we used to. In the last year we have lost 10 chickens and duck's to coyotes getting in the pen's. How they do it, it amazes me. Now we have to block a 10x10 hole that the chicken's use to get in their house at night, to keep out the critters. We even have a fence over the top. Go figure. So we do get farm fresh eggs. Yum Yum.
