January 22, 2011

It's so hard to believe it's almost the end of January - where has the time gone?  We were shopping today for used bicycles.  Bob was able to find one for himself but nothing for me yet.  We went to a few yard sales and a used bicycle shop - I'm sure we will come across something soon.
We were golfing yesterday - we were paired up with a 85 year old man who admitted to us that he only started golfing when he was 75!   What a sweetheart he was.  We had such a good time with him.  Originally he only signed up for 9 holes but decided to play another 9 to join us for the entire 18.  He sure has a lot of stamina!

The weather has been absolutely beautiful.  We are hearing about the problems in Texas and the cool temperatures in Florida, but we have been blessed - high 70s all week and the outlook for the following week is the low 70s, which is just fine with us.

We are expecting friends to arrive tomorrow to stay with us until we head for home on the 3rd of February.  They are a lot of fun so we are guaranteed to have a good time.  The early part of the week will be taken up with us moving into our house but they are hoping to visit the Grand Canyon and Sedona/Jerome area so we will just give them our truck and we can stay here and get organized while they tour.

We heard yesterday that 5 homes have sold in Mountainbrook during the month of January and they were all Canadians!  Must be the dollar being at par with the US dollar- perhaps has something to do with it.

We also attended the Gold Canyon Arts Show this afternoon - beautiful work with a lot of turquoise stones and many gems from the area as well as carvings made from cactus and trees in the area and the desert.  Bob reminded me what we would get at a yard sale when we sold it sometime in the future so we came away empty handed.  There sure are a lot of talented people in the world.

So long for now.
