Great day for TURKEY!!!

We have discovered a new past time...GEOCACHING!!! Okay so we went late Wednesday night looking for 4 hidden in our area with no luck of finding one. We tried again this morning and LOOK WHAT WE FOUND!!!!

Can you tell what it is? It is a tiny capsule (like a pill holder you would carry in your pocket) inside is a rolled up piece of paper that you sign and place it back where you found it. Some of the caches have small gifts or coins and can very in size and you find them by using altitude and longitude coordinates with a GPS system. It was fun to find, pretty big sport.

Then to finish our great Thanksgiving day we went to a movie. "The Blindside" such an inspirational show, we laughed cried and walked out feeling thankful...very fitting for the day. Then we came home and began to cook our Thanksgiving dinner, I think for the two of us (don't forget Murfee) we had a superb meal!


Even Murfee got a plate LOL spoiled dog!


We are thankful that we had such a nice day together, we wish we could have been with family, but things did not work out as we would have liked. We love and miss everyone, hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving!!!

Hill Air Force Base

We had a few extra hours to burn one day and decided to check out the Hill Air Force Base Museum. That place was really cool, especially since it was FREE!!!

Okay, I am not the tallest person, but this tire was still HUGE!!!


Look at all these planes! This was just in one corner of one room!



These were just a few outside...








We also got a spare moment to see some great friends of mine. I am so glad they were each able to get together at a quick notice. I am Thankful that we are still able to keep in touch and see each others families growing so adorably.


I got a broken Kitchenaid from my mom a few month ago. We took it in to get the motor fixed. It cost $40 to fix the motor, which is $300 cheaper than buying a new one! So it is sitting on my counter collecting dust until I bought a pattern, some material and mailed it to my sweet little cousin Rebecca who put it all together and made me this cute little cover to match my kitchen...Almost every person in my family thought it was a birdcage or a hat and they each HAD to try it on their heads?!?!? Thanks Becky, I LOVE IT!!!

The weather has finally cooled?!?!

NOT!!!
We finally dropped down to 80's and have been enjoying the outdoors again. Then just when all the October festivities start up, the heat went up too?
What the heck? We are expected 100 degrees tomorrow, the A/C has gone back on and the creatures have come out of hiding.....here is a little friend I caught creeping on the neighbors house.



Last Saturday (I forgot my camera) we went to the botanical gardens, really it was just a bunch of plants native to Arizona (a lot of cactus is all) but they did have a butterfly pavillion and all we had was our cell phones so here are some of the best pictures I could get.



I liked these little flowers because they were so symmetrical.

What's for lunch?

Chili Dogs!




Poor little Murfee was helping in the kitchen when he got in the way and tripped Philip. Philip's plate of chili flew in the air....thankfully Murfee was there to catch it! Oh and eat the rest off the floor.
Now it is bath time for Murffee and the floor.

Merry Halloween?!?!?!?!?

I am not even going to try to catch up.....JUNE 24!!! I am such a slacker.
It was a hot summer, we hibernated in the house again for 3 months. Not really actually we did some great things, like our trip to Memphis and Little Rock.

Every year Philip allows me to buy 1 item on clearance after a holiday, so that I do not get out of control.....and I would!

Last year during Christmas, there was a black Christmas tree at Wal-mart for $50.00. I thought who in the world would buy a black Christmas tree? Then I thought again...HALLOWEEN!!!!

So I waited till after Christmas for the little 4 ft black Christmas tree to go on the clearance rack....sure enough it did for 50% off (25.00 for those of you taking off your shoes to count).

Still a little too much for me, so I waited another week thinking if I miss out, no big deal.

It paid off! The tree came down to $5.00!!!! I should have bought all three of them and sold them on craigslist or something.

Anyway here is the fruits of my clearance waiting labors.



Here are my little spider lights and ghost garland...



Don't forget Angelica...
