Arizona in winter

It's about time I did a little blogging just to let you know we are alive and well and living in Arizona. We left home on 8 Feb and had a good trip to Sierra Vista with a little tire hiccup as seems to be the norm on trips lately. We spent a week in Sierra Vista visiting Sharleen's family and seeing old friends in Sonita.



On Sunday Rick ( Sharleen's brother), Ryan (her Nephew) and I went to a motocross track near Tucson where Ryan practiced his riding for a couple of hours. Here Rick and Ryan get ready for his first run.







Ryan (16) has been riding forever and is really good moving quickly around the track and taking the jumps. I had a great time just watching and thinking I'd kill myself if I tried it.






We're now at Foothills West in Casa Grande. The time here seems to just fly. 2:00pm is pool time and we gather to swim ( mostly talk while sitting in the pool). 4:00pm is happy hour with more talking. Maybe that's why the weather here is warm...... lots of hot air from all the snowbirds! I suspect I won't be doing a lot of blogging because of our busy schedule but rest assured we are alive, well and having a great time with all the young folks down here.
