Our trip to Pinetop and Taylor
This past week was my fall break, so Gary and I decided to go to Pinetop and stay for a couple of days at the World Mark there. We went to Taylor to visit Summer and her kids and Ryan, Amy and their children. We all met at Eva's for Mexican food on Monday night. After dinner we stopped at Ryan's to give Zach and Hunter their birthday gifts. We didn't stay long. I didn't feel too well that night and ended up back at Pinetop with a very upset stomach. We had to make a stop at Walgreen's for some Tums for me.
Next day I felt much better. We went back down to Taylor and spent most of the day with Summer and kids. Damon and Daiziah went back to Pinetop to spend the Tuesday night with us. We were hoping that Jake and Hunter could too, but they still had school. Daiziah and Damon just skipped theirs on Wednesday.
We had a good time with Daiziah and Damon. I played with them on the playground at the resort. They searched for acorn shells, chased squirrels, and took walks. Later we went shopping at WalMart, ate at Taco Bell, then returned to Taylor in time for Summer to get home from work. Then we left and came back home to Mesa.
If I can figure out how to put pictures on my blog, Iwill so you can see some sights from my trip to China that I took at the end of July.

Can You Believe I Am Blogging
Hi, I decided to start a blog and join all the others that do it, especially my kids.
I have wanted to do this for some time now, but have been too busy doing something else. I am still too busy with school, but maybe I can stay in touch with my kids better this way. Sometimes it is easier getting on the computer than making a phone call. This was you can check the computer at times when making a phone call is not a good time. At any rate, I am going to try this out.
Something crazy is always happening around here. Today, Gary tried to replace the filter on the refrigerator. The water would not turn off to the refrigerator. But he didn't know that until he had the filter disconnected from the little hose. Water went shooting everywhere. He was yelling for me to get something to catch and hold the water. I grabbed two gallon pitchers to hold the water. I had to keeping bailing water until he could get outside to turn off the main water valve. What a sight and mess.
After he got it all hooked back together, he went outside to turn on the water. We stayed in communication via cell phones while I watched the refrigerator hose inside and he turned on the water outside. He turned it on. Water started spraying out of the first connection between the hose and the filter. He had to turn off the water again. I didn't have the pitcher ready to catch the water, so water ran all over the towel I had on the floor behind the refrigerator. He came in and grabbed a pitcher for me while I was holding the little hose down to the towel. It finally quit running out of the hose. We are NOT PLUMBERS. Nor are we handy at all.
Gary left to get new hose. Hopefully I won't be without water all day. But most of our repair projects take all day, when other people only need an hour or two. That's the trouble with getting old and not knowing what we are doing. It was actually pretty funny!
