A Happy Houseful!

It is a party at our house! Literally.  Let me tell you why.  T-man and Shar arrived in town a few weeks ago and because their home was not ready to move into, we begged them to stay with us until their home was ready, after some arm twisting and eye poking, they agreed to put up with us for a few weeks and it has been a party since!  The girls have had so much fun with cousins around and Shar and I think that sharing cooking and cleaning is a great arrangement.  If 6 people didn't have to share one small bathroom, they just might agree to stay forever.   T-man and Shar sleep in our curtained off "guest" living room.  Curly, Lou, Lettie, and Grace sleep in one bedroom and Berry and Lissie sleep in the other.  We still have a couch and an air mattress, so if anyone else wants to come join the party... the more, the merrier!

Curly and Lettie Reunited after more than a year!

  Our very nice neighbors let us come over and swim (quite the circus act).  Thanks Sos!

Yesterday, we met up with our good friends, the Rollins for an outing to North Western AZ.  We visited Tonto Natural Bridge near Payson, AZ.  The weather was great, the scenery lovely, and we enjoyed an adventuresome hike.  

Spotted a tarantula - he curled up in fright
