Condo Experience in Rocky Point
January 8, 2011 
patwatson I know that when we travel things aren’t going to be like they are back home, I accept that and actually relish the change. That is in most situations. One that I have found to be rather humorous is how we are so used to having plug ins all over, ready to take on the electrical [...]
Comments Off Thanksgiving
What a fabulous time to be all together. I love Thanksgiving, it’s my favorite holiday. Christmas is fun, but Thanksgiving is just special. I think it is because we are all together and have the time to actually visit, invite friends to join us and share the abundance that we have been blessed with over [...]
Comments Off As Life Goes On
It has been some time since I wrote on my blog. There has been so much happening that I must admit, I forgot about it until the other day when Cyn said she hadn’t seen anything for a long time…she was right. I started a new “old” job. As the Director of Sales at a [...]
Comments Off Contrasting Beauty in Arizona
There are many things of beauty in the state of Arizona but capturing two such totally different ideas was just a delight. First there is the beauty of the Prickly Pear cactus that can be seen all over the area. Take a walk in the desert and you will be surrounded by the different varieties [...]

Good Friends
This has been a week to see and hear from old friends and it has been delightful. Our friends from Ecuador have moved back to the states and are now in Oregon. Health issues were part of the reason although they now seem to be well on the mend. They wanted to have American (and [...]
Loss of a Friend
As we get older and think about how our life will be in a few years the one thing that makes us face up to the fact that we are not immortal is the loss of a friend or family member. We may think we are, we may plan our lives like we are, we [...]
Warm – Not
Well, we got home in time for one day of warm and now it is getting cold again. It may even snow in parts of the city on Tues. Great! Oh well, we know that it will be only for a couple of days and then back to warm. Friends of ours from Iowa are [...]
