6th Anniversary Living in Arizona

Today is our 6th anniversary of living in Arizona
and living in our home here. Wow! Time flys when
you're having fun! August 6, 2010


May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sunshine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
An Irish Blessing.

SWEET!

Everytime I drive down the street and see the

neighbors house with these cute umbrellas protecting

their Sago Palms from the scorching sun, it brings a

smile to my face and I wish I had brought my camera

along to share with you. I've never seen this sweet idea

as normally people will put netting or a sheet...but it just

doesn't look very nice...these are just so cute! Such a

clever idea.

Silly Boys!

Two Jacks! (Big Jack and Little Jack)

think they belong ON the bed!
For a long time, the guys have called Derek
"Chicken Wing" because he is slender-built.
Discount Tire has very high standards for
their employees, etc. Well anyway, one of
Derek's managers, Joel, decided to play a
trick (Derek was in the know) and Joel had
his wife machine embrodiary "Chickenwing"
on his work shirt! They didn't tell anyone else.
Derek said they haven't made him get rid of the
shirt, but some of the other managers have
certainly given him some "looks"...and they do
check them out daily, NO facial hair, NO visible
tattoos, NO long hair (clean shaven), NO untucked
or unkempt work clothes...the list goes on...
so Joel and Derek weren't sure if this would "fly"...
But they're still testing their wings on this one! Ha ha
