Perfect weather and not so perfect golf!


Our son Daniel came to visit for a long weekend on the 12th of November. We golfed twice and sucked, except I got a birdie for the first time. The sad thing was out of 2 days I didn't par once. Oh well, it was still fun . As you can see the morning was cool at 50 degrees at 7am. My parents golfed with us and as usual, my step-dad, Jack, was awesome. At age 78 he has a 9 handicap. Even his bad shots look good to me! We also went shopping and ate out at Rock Bottom which is micro-brewery/sports bar/restaurant. The food was incredibly good and the prices very reasonable. So that's it for now. Love you all and miss you, Vicki

After all the work is done.


Well, we are finally getting close to being done with our yard. We still are going to get a block wall put up on the side and back, enclosing our back yard. The problem has been getting the permit. At the permit office no one knew where our property line was-even with an as built. So we had a surveyor come out today and now they can get started. I feel like I've been living at Home Depot lately. I did all the bubblers for the front and back plants. Also, I've been painting the brick around the plants in the front. They were a very faded red and I used oil based stain and they really stand out now. You know what they say-no rest for the wicked-that's me.

On Friday, Ed's son, Daniel, is coming from Alaska for a long weekend. We got him a ticket for my son's wedding (which isn't happening this weekend) and he wanted to come down and visit. So we got a couple of golf games planned and the rest just goofing around. Ed had to rearrange his work schedule for the weekend so he will work Monday and Tuesday.

And to top it off, we have to go to Bullhead City tomorrow to clean up the place because the man who takes care of it has relatives who are going to rent it for the winter-yea! So that's it for now. Be sure to check out the bottom pictures too. Hugs and Kisses, Vicki

After....



This is what the front of our home looks like now. My last post shows the before shots. Hopefully, the plants will grow and it will really look nice then.
