Prescott

Mike and I went to Prescott this past weekend for the Second Quarter AZ Jaycees Convention. On the way there we stopped in Anthem for dinner and hit a storm all the way up from there. Lots of beautiful lightning.


My dad always said John Wayne was still alive :)


The Compadres




A view from our hotel room at Bucky's casino


I missed a great picture!


I learned how to play a slot machine at the casino. This is the second time I have actually gambled in a casino.

Mmmm Unagi

I was cravin' sushi so Mike and I went to Sake Bomber for the first time. I was so hungry that I ordered way too much and of course had to have my Unagi (Freshwater Eel).

Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go!

Happy Birthday Hugh!

This is Mike's dad, Hugh listening to South Pacific

Mike's parents were in town so we were able to celebrate Hugh's birthday with him. We went to dinner at Abuelos. Hugh said when he was in the Navy he was in a production of South Pacific and since I like musicals I had to give him the soundtrack. I'll admit that we were both singing to the songs :)

For Tia Tonia

These are pics of the quilt I was telling you about.





I think this one is so beautiful!

She Didn't Get A Car This Time...

The story goes: When Carlos joined the Navy and left home Mom was so upset that all she did was cry in her room. So my dad kept trying to find things that would make her feel better. He asked her if she wanted to do something..."No". Did she want to go somewhere..."No". Finally he asked her if she wanted to go looking at cars and she sniffled, "Okay". Next thing they were calling me saying they bought a new car for Mom.

This she only got a hutch :)


These are some of the dishes it holds

Mom likes the Mexican style setting
