2013

It's been quite a while since a blog update, for which we appologize. The first day of 2013 finds us both under the weather with a cold or possibly the flu. We should be back to normal (?) by the end of the week. It's been pretty much business as usual here except for the 8 days that we were back in Seattle at Christmas. That was the fastest 8 days of our lives. We were on the go from around 8 in the morning until 11 at night every day. We must have put over a thousand miles on the rental car. Besides several trips to see the kids in Woodinville and Mount Vernon, we Visited 3 appliance stores, a tile store, and met with all of the subs working on the house. We made decisions and selected all of our appliances, and plumbing fixtures.
We got back to Apache Junction on the 27th. Joyce stated feeling sick about 2 days later, and I a day later. We may have picked something up on our flight back. Last night was the big New Years Eve party here at the park, but we missed it, and were both in bed before midnight.

We've gotten back into the Thursday hikes, and have been getting out on the golf courses. I've gotten back into playing Hand and Foot, and the other organized games. The weather's been a little on the chilly side with daytime highs in the low 50's and nighttime lows in the low 30's. When the sun is shining, it doesn't seem that cold. We'll try not to let the blog go so long next time!
