December 29, 2010

Well, Arizona is finally getting the terrible weather that has hit most of the US.  By terrible, I mean it is overcast today and temps are around 60-62!  Still not too bad.

We went to the Phornix Coyote hockey game - they played like turkeys and lost 3-1 but we had fun with all the excitement and the fans.  The fans howl like a coyote everytime they score a goal or for any other excuse they can find.  It was a hoot!

Christmas was so quiet and peaceful.  We spent the day bike riding and going on a 2-3 mile hike up Silly Mountain.  I thank God every day that my stamina is coming back - we had a blast on that hike.  We were surrounded by the huge saguero cacti and lots of other strains of cacti. Thank God we didn't run into any snakes or that would be the LAST time I went on a hike.

We are getting organized for our little 3 day trip back to Canada next week, having company for most of the month of January with a few days break in between.  We take possession of our new home on January 26th (we hope) so will be spending a few days cleaning and getting things settled before we leave for home around the end of January.  Escrow closing on houses are a lot different than in Canada.  It might close on the 25th, 26th or the 27th, depending apparently, on many things.  One gal here in Mountainbrook Village has waited over 4 months for her house to close..............I think there is more to the story than she is revealing.

We are off to a Livestock Show in Phoenix (of course not to see the Livestock but to visit all the vendors associated with the show), then head to Tucson on Friday to visit a Tres Amigos Retail location and attend a Pow Wow the Indian Tribes have to celebrate New Years.
