More Rain for the soaked desert!!!

Yep!! More rain but shouldn't be the storm we had last week. Driving up north for Lee's birthday, we were shocked at the raging usually dry creek beds and rivers. When returning on Sunday, there was still a lot of water but not rushing. Now with more rain, lets pray it doesn't flood us. Lee had a great birthday and I managed a few pics. It's funny how some aren't as comfortable with pics as others LOL You look how you look and pics don't lie sooooooo if hesitant for a pic, take one of yourself, right????? Murphy's has the best prime rib I have ever put in my mouth so you can guess what I had for dinner. HA! Will be staying down in CC for a while, it's just too snowy and cold for my aching knees in Prescott. I love it but I use every gel, cream, lotion and spray I can but to take away the ache of arthritic knees - BTW it's all the same in my opinion. I will start with injections OUCH!! (I detest them) next month. It does help for about six months. Such is life as one ages - look out you young ones HaHa!

Expecting loads of RAIN

This is great news for the dry desert. My knees ache but I'm so thankful that rain is on it's way. Lee's birthday was great. I got him a new fancy Leatherman and a new jog suit. The kids got him a couple of books and then I fixed dinner up north. It turned out awesome sooooo yummy. He had his fav German Choc cake and ice cream provided by Shawna. Shawna celebrated 30 days soberiety. We are cautiously optimistic. She is such an entirely different person sober. She's sweet, considerate, thoughtful and everything we want but boy!!! when she's drinking she's horrible. Hopefully, this new guy that's big into AA will be a good influence and as time goes by she becomes more and more stable herself. Will go up for Lee's birthday again next weekend. His siblings are flying in, just for the day and night, to celebrate the big 65!! He's anxious to see them but wishes it was for a longer time. I am going to be the photographer. Soooo wish me luck. Ha!!

The sick bay is here!

After celebrating Christmas on New Year's Day everyone got sick. As it turns out Lee picked up the bug from someone at work and was contagious with everyone here. YIKES! So thankful that Mom is the only one that didn't come down with it. I've been in bed for 4 straight days and hoping that after the weekend I will feel better. Carol's went to her lungs, as usual, and was just thankful it didn't go into pneumonia. She fights this every winter. Scott and Megan are sick as well with fever and chills along with the cold. I really hate it that that all go sick. I have a mountain of things to do here at the house as well as Prescott, like take down decorations, clean cupboards, laundry, etc but no energy. I'm really hoping that by the following week I can get up to Prescott and at least do the decorations. ARGHHH!
