As of today, we have finally entered summer. You may be thinking I’m off by a few days, but what I mean is that today we finally hit temperatures in the mid-70s. Looking at the future forecast, it would appear that it will be in the 70s and 80s for the foreseeable future! Continue reading
There was an ad last week in our local newspaper, The Pulse, regarding a pre-demolition sale that was going to happen this weekend at a resort in Sturgeon Bay. Mark and I decided to go and see if there was anything we could use for our house. Continue reading
A couple of days ago, we signed a contract to get a new furnace installed, including new ductwork. That will happen on May 14th and 15th. I would have preferred sooner since we are heating the house with our wood stove, but the installers are busy trying to help folks who had their heating systems damaged during this past winter.

We had a much shorter drive today and were able to make several stops on the way home. Our excitement mounted as we got into familiar territory. Continue reading
I promised to show a photo of the “ghost town” where we waited out the storm yesterday.

Today was sunny without a cloud in the sky. It was still cool, but by Tuesday we’re supposed to be back up in the 70s. I took this picture from our “backyard” before all the snow melts: Continue reading
While Mark and I were eating breakfast this morning, he looked out our front door window and said, “It’s snowing!” I left early for work, not being sure how well Arizonans drive in snow. It almost looked as though they don’t. There wasn’t much traffic on the road. Continue reading
Two or three weeks ago, Mark was working at a campground and he pulled into an empty lot across the street from the campground to let Tucson do her business. She started wandering out into the desert and he followed her. Something caught his eye so he walked over to see what it was and found a recumbent tricycle in pretty good condition lying out there. It needed some repairs to the seat covers, both the seat and the seat back, but other than that, it was usable. He brought it home and we fixed it up. Ever since then, he’s been wanting to go on a bike ride with me. Continue reading
