My First Blog!

The year 2007 has been fun and full of surprises. John and I took a trip across America for 2-1/2 months pulling our trailer with our wonder dog, Brandye. We traveled over 7,000 miles and saw many historical sites and family along the way. To name a few, we visited Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Washington DC, the Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty, Graceland, Mount Vernon, Plymouth Rock, Boston Harbor, Niagara Falls...it just goes on and on. We returned to Phoenix for three weeks and then headed up to Oregon for a family reunion which was the highlight of our summer. Wow...what wonderful memories. (Talent shows, plays, karaoke night, jet boat rides, wine country tour, barn dance, awesome talented families) We definitely need to do it again next year. (Hey, Dottie...are we all invited back come 2008?)

After returning to Phoenix, John had knee surgery. It will take some time before he can jump, play tennis, fly his planes or begin my honey do's around the house "Grin"

I love spending time with Tracie, Keith, Jason, Kimberly, Brian and my ten precious grandkids. I like reading, chrocheting, playing tennis with John, hiking, learning to play my guitar and going to plays. Can't wait to get on the road again with my honey and kindred spirit "John" and visit everyone again!
