A Visit from the Emig's

My swing set in the back yard hadn't seen much use lately. The slide was nice and slow

I managed to snap just a few photos of my Great Nieces and Nephews while they were here. They came to see their Grandma Aha while on their trip to the Emig's here in the Phoenix area. She was thrilled.

I missed getting Carolina and Fiona in a shot. Nor did I photo their parents Cali and Joey Emig. I guess because it is busy when they are around.

We went to the clubhouse to swim. The Beach pool was open but it was a little cold. So we went in the main pool and the hot tub.

--So glad they came by.

We Rock!

Why are the fans swinging?
For that matter why am I shaking?
It must be an earthquake!
Whoa, can you feel that?

Easter Sunday, between sessions of General Conference, an earthquake, 7.2 on the scale, hit Baja California.

Blossom Time

This is some of the Bougainvilla outside my window. Now is when the desert blooms.

Orange and Citrus trees of all kinds are blooming right now. The whole valley is scented with them.

I planted some grape vines this year. We shall see how they do.

Here are the two new citrus trees we also planted. I wanted a lime and a lemon.

This doesn't count as gardening. I gave that up you know.

Samantha and Kyle

I have been wanting to post something about our visit to Miller's in California. My camera was fritzi so I just have a few semi clear ,semi representative photos but have decided to use 'em anyway since my words have been failing me a lot lately.

My niece, Samatha, and her husband Kyle have a great little place in a beautiful area of Thousand Oaks. They also have two wonderful little kids Kate and Owen.
