Me: Eating at our favorite frozen yogurt shop: Orange Leaf.

As you can see the outdoor seating is right next to the parking lot. Not very scenic but that should tell you how good the yogurt is! :-)

Martin: Happy Birthday, Martin!!! 

Martin's birthday was on Friday, November 4th.

Me: Bob, Harley, Bob, Pat, & I on our morning walk.

Bob's parents left for California today. We always have a good time when they visit and are thankful for their help with chores, chow and crazy crafts!

My brother and sis-in-law flew home yesterday. It was such a nice week with them too! I enjoyed some special sunrise runs with Nancy in the desert. Curt and Nancy are now back in chilly Des Moines.

Me: We're running a craft store out of our house now (ha)! Here I am putting my father-in-law to work making decorative serving dishes out of glass candle sticks and plates. They turned out so pretty - fun!

Me: "Grandma's Keychains"

Pat and I have not had much time to do all the sewing crafts we had wanted to but we've done a little. One small craft is making keychains and using the buttons from my mom's enormous button collection (thus the name "Grandma's keychains").

Me: Pat and Bob arrived today! We visited The Olive Mill in Queen Creek. Delicious lunch amongst the olive trees and another gorgeous day!

Me: Eating Mexican food with my brother, Curt and sister-in-law, Nancy at Aunt Chiladas. They're here visiting from Des Moines this week and are enjoying the warm weather. It really is nice these days. This morning Nancy and I went jogging in the desert and then swimming with Bob and Janna.
