This week has been an emotional roller coaster for us. We were saddened to hear that my Mom passed away on Christmas eve. She was in Hospice care for bladder cancer. Unfortunately, since we don't fly, we will not be going to Michigan for the funeral. Yesterday we had a wonderful day at Barry & Rachel's with their family. Bob & I feel so fortunate that they include us in their holiday celebrations. Another day of good food, good friends and good times. As always, we had many laughs. Thanks again, Barry & Rachel!!!

Barry & Rachel's oldest granddaughter, Victoria with her new
Barbie & Me bike. That's the nice thing about getting a bike
for Christmas in AZ, you don't have to stare at it until Spring
waiting to ride it outside. |
