Anne Murray

Last night we went to Anne Murray's Christmas Concert. She spent the first half of the show doing her hits from the past 30+ years and then the second half doing Christmas songs.
Her band and backup singer have all been with her 24+ years, one guy since 1969. Quite impressive!

Mini Golf in Arizona

On Tuesday Lois, Dad, Kendall and I played 2 rounds of golf.
On this hole our balls were really close after our first shots!

It was a beautiful day to be outside.


Thursday Kendall and Dad went back to play the other 2 courses after Thanksgiving dinner. See Lois' Blog for Thanksgiving pictures.

Family Has Arrived

Family has arrived for Thanksgiving week. Mom, Dad, Lois, Julie and Asa are here from Maryland, Ohio and Florida. Pa and Asa playing with trucks and cars.
Asa helped decorate cookies for the kitchen Christmas Tree.
When you're almost 2, the water has to be colder than in the 50's to not dip your toes in!
"Hi!"

Bunko Hosted

This Saturday was my turn to host Bunko. Thanks to Kendall's mom for a great Peach Glazed Pork Chop recipe dinner was a hit!


Some roses I picked up to spruce up the kitchen. They reminded me of my wedding flowers.

Sun Rise, Moon Set

This was the scene as we pulled into the race Sunday morning. The sun was ready to peep up over the mountains as the moon was thinking about going to bed.

Another Win

Another race in the desert. At the start line. This is called a Land Rush start where they all take off at once and see who gets to the corner for the first to get the advantage. Kendall was there this time!

Coming into the pit area. It was a timed race and no need to fuel this time, so no pit stop. Just lots of dust!

It's all in who you know. This handsome fellow gave the lady a ride back to the trailer from the finish line.

Yes, first place again! And no, it's not the same picture re-posted. Notice this time there is no plaque in his hands. They didn't have it and will have to get it sent out.


A flat tire on the trailer on the way home. These guys are getting good at changing these things.

Chocolate Cake





Today I attempted to make Mom's famous Chocolate Cake, and it was a success! I must say it was quite the intimidating process. Kendall was my assistant - after all he watched Mom make it twice and got hints when we were home in October. Can't wait to see if tastes as good as it looks!

AzHHA


AZ is the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association. Tonight I was one of the 13 graduates of the class of 2006 of Emerging Healthcare Leaders from around the state of Arizona. It is a 10 month program with LOTS of reading and an all day meeting once a month to discuss topics related to leadership and healthcare. Hence the name! Kendall was nice enough to sit through the dinner with me.
