Here is Lillie climbing some rocks.

I will start blogging again this summer when we take off in the RV.

Today was Hank's birthday and we decided to do a day trip to Tortilla Flats.  We packed a picnic basket and headed northeast.  We found beautiful Canyon Lake surrounded by mountains and cactus. That sure was funny. Not like HOME, Auntie Em.

I got to be with Children and Grandchildren in Atlanta, Georgia 8-6-12

All the family together for Bobby (my Mom) funeral. 8-7-12.  Love you all!

Hank playing a little pool.

Hank and I visited Tubac with is really close to Nagoles Mexico. We went to look at Mexican pots etc..

We had to go through a check point, which we don't mind at all.   Doggie was cute.

Talking about a cool place. Ernesto did a fantastic job. The lights are beautiful.

Ernesto is finally working on our wall. It looks fantastic. The pavers are getting installed today, with lights, irrigation and trees next week. During Hanks' recovery, he has enjoyed watching.

Yesterday was Hank's big day, finally. He has his knee surgery on the meniscus, and did really well.
They cleaned out all the arthritis, for now and checked for other damage, but he is doing great!
Today he has walked around the coach, with crutches and has not taken any pain pills.  He'll be ready to travel Europe in September, healthy and healed. Thanks for all the prayers.

My brother posted this on Facebook today. Those were the days of some fun shooting and traveling all the states. I had such a good time.

One of the last days some of the girls will be here. Had a nice Birthday lunch with Diane!

Today was 112 and we decided to recover our kitchen chairs. With a little bit of Southwestern
look, they turned out pretty darn good.

I had a little BOO-Boo...terrible wind storm yesterday and I went to pick up a broken pot, and it broke again and popped into my arm. Hank was gone to get MRI on knee and Steve was kind to drive me to ER. AIN't nobody else around. 11 stitches.

wall drug store

The Last thing of the Day, we decided to eat lunch at Wall Drug Store. Last time we were here it was
packed. I guess good timing!

The Badlands

Hank and I decided to go visit the Badlands again. It is so breath taking. The colors are awesome at
Sunrise.

rattlesnake

I was driving down a back road when we came across this rattlesnake. YUCK. He was heading
towards some horse out in a pasture and Hank told me to steer closer....OOps...dead snake.

Elk and prairie dog

I had a fun time spotting animals. The Elk were everywhere, and I was able to get the prairie dogs
to come and take cheese crackers from me . I know I know DONT FEED THE ANIMALS.
oh well.

Custer State Park

Friday after we got all our paperwork done, we took a short drive down to Custer State Park to
visit the Buffalos. They are shedding their winter coast, but look very healthy.

HART RANCH

Hank and I went to South Dakota over the weekend. One of the things we decided to do was
visit Hart Ranch. Not many people there, I guess we are early in the season. Very pretty!

TPC (Tour Profession Club) of Scottsdale

What a weekend of a lifetime! Hank took Golf lessons up in Scottsdale this weekend. He and his 3 buddies hit so many golf balls, he came home with bloody hands. He learned so much and enjoyed every minute. What an experience! Normally it is $300

to play 18 at this course. Phew....hope he enjoyed that ONE TIME THING.
