July 4th

Hard to believe that July 4th is this week! There is a small town parade that goes right by our residence and we go out to watch it. I am looking forward to that! In addition, our lunch and dinner on July 4th will be hotdogs and all the July 4th goodies, so that will be fun also. They have decorated much of our residence to reflect the upcoming holiday ( the chalk on the board is partially erased, but it says "welcome to our inn"). I am sure that on that day we all will dress in national colors as will the staff. And while I am still wearing sweaters, it is rumored that on July 4th the sun will shine and we will be up to a roasting 75 degrees!

Welcome June!

Today was a fun day! Betty & Doug came by with a strawberry frappucino (see the picture) which I loved! I also got to talk with Randy for quite awhile. It seems that Tucson is even hotter than Phoenix right now, and he is finding indoors the best place to be when it is so hot. Can't say it is hot up here - today's high will be around 60 degrees. We still wear sweaters and long pants and mainly long sleeves; they are the dress of the day today. However, the sun peaks through the clouds more often and we are seeing so many beautiful trees and flowers all around!

The picture I have on this post is taken near my residence. This is what I get to see each day! I am quite well and have enjoyed talking with my sons today - all of them. Spring is definitely here, but we still experience mild rains. The temperature is not nearly as cold outside as it used to be, but we do get muggy sometimes. I look forward to more and more sunny days that will bring more flowers and gorgeous skies.
