We had such a wonderful time with our friends Dan, Linda and their son, Brian. It was a short but very fun visit. We learned a new card game and met some new friends who were also staying with them, Gary and Martha. I learned that Gary is responsible for teaching Linda how to fish. Now she can't get enough of the pike up in Montana. Bob and I plan to take full advantage of that experience and elleviate Seely Montana of some Pike ourselves this Summer! So, anyway, after a couple practice runs and playing as individuals we played Hand and Foot two nights in a row girls vs. guys. We wiped the floor with the boys!

We continue to enjoy our first winter in Arisona. A visit to Tombstone brought to life the old Western Movies. Wyatt Earp was a real gunslinger. Doc Holladay too. We enjoyed a live re-enactment of the shootout at the OK Coral. Most people don't know that Tombstone was a gold rush city. Everyone was gunning for Wyatt so he moved to Nome, Alaska, a Yukon gold rush town. That is where he died. From Tombstone we headed back North to check out a couple of Del Webb communities near Tuscon. (Have to come off the road some day.) The Saguaro Cacti are quite dramatic. We also had to be careful on the hiking trails with Princess because "Teddy Bear" cacti jump out and pellet you with needles if you get too near . We will stay ... read more
