Gallup to Phoenix

Up early Sunday a.m. we drove to Phoenix taking the scenic route. Arrived at Sister Norma and Charlie's house in north Phoenix at about 2:30. Harmke and Charlie came over for supper about 5:30 and we all enjoyed yummy food and too much pie on the patio as we watched the parrots fighting over the bird feeder. So cool.

Boulder, Yuma, and LA

The great October loop started Oct. 16th, 2009. Bob & I drove mom's car Friday afternoon from Des Moines to Boulder. Arrived in Denver at 11:30p.m. to Mary & Dave's welcoming home in Boulder. Toured the area which included the high school where Mary teaches and also Dave's office. After a great lunch at the Cheesecake Factory we headed to Gallup, New Mexico which would be our Saturday night stay.

Green Heron on trailer

Here is our 25' Pacific Seacraft Sailboat. Bob has rebuilt 75 % of it so far. It is very nice & comfortable.

More wedding photos... Thanks Laura & Nina

Hoping some photos from Bob's family come our way.
