Arizona Sunset

I am finally back! We are getting back into old routines after having an awesome visit with my Mom and Terry. We went to Sedona to site see and visit the art show, we went to the Grand Canyon overnight where we saw the Canyon for 30 seconds before being caught in a downpour with hail which made us spend the rest of the evening drying off in the hotel. Thank goodness the next day was good and we saw a deer, a coyote (6 feet from the car), a raven, drove by a freshly killed skunk which stunk up the car for an hour, then on the way home we were stuck in an extra two hours worth of traffic due to an earlier accident. We made visits to the Botanical Gardens and the Zoo then ended with a Sunset Jeep Tour just north of where we live. Here are some of the pictures from it.

We all took turns shooting a 22 caliber gun.

We each had six shots and I hit my target, woohoo! Ted was aloud an extra six shots with a larger gun but it still never helped him hit the target, na, na, na, na, na, na. Woman rule!

Mom are Terry also tried out their gun shootin' skills and apparently Terry has a really amazing shot. When I told Athena about this she asked, 'Has Terry ever killed someone ?' I couldn't stop laughing.

Everything else is going great here. Isi is officially saying too many words for me to keep up with. Our 'Biometrics' are done, just finger prints and a photo. I don't know if we are now done or if we might have an interview to do also. As for me, I have been on a cleaning marathon and am driving the whole house mad. Even so I think they are all catching the cleaning bug because I even managed to get the kids to start going through all their things without my help. Yup, I see a fantastic garage sale in April.

This is the hat I designed for Hera. The ribbing wasn't very strong so I made this daisy chain with stretchy cord to help give it a nice fit. The yarn if soft and has just a hint of sparkle. I have already started a different one for Athena and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Till next time,
