Munday's the Arizona Roadrunners

This has been a tremendous year for us; starting in Florida in January and moving all across the country to spending the summer with family in the Pacific Northwest to ending on a whole new note of purchasing a "home base" for the winter months.  We are now officially snowbirds!  Who would have thought? It was not really planned but then Early is always planning something so there you have it... we just don't always know what's going on in that wonderful head of his!  This season we have had the joy of seeing our little granddaughter open gifts to spending time with some of our dearest friends. We have been truly blessed! 

Christmas Eve Eve and we found this little peach faced love bird on our feeder!  Isn't he cute!  Bet he escaped from someone's cage. Not a wild bird to say the least.  Then went over to son Roy's house to watch Seahawk's on Sunday Night football and share the holiday with our little granddaughter!  She's awfully cute but then children are and she seemed to like her new little tea set! ha!  Perfect for that age.  Seahawk's really put on a quite a show in the pouring down rain and it was so great to watch.  So glad we were not 49'er fans.  Those poor guys couldn't seem to do much right! Shared the time with good friends Joyce and Dave from Seattle so it was a lot of fun.  

As a update on the latest we have painted the living room and part of the dining room and added furniture.. now have fridge and place to sit!  Still waiting for dining chairs but at least they are on order. ha!  Living room looks pretty good with new color and although we still have a way to go we are comfortable and on our way.  Put on order 1/2 the windows - we currently have single paned windows that rattle in their frames so placed order for new ones!  Now that will nice getting those!

We have been painting and cleaning and scrubbing and getting new carpet in bedrooms!  Before the carpet arrived however we decided we needed to lighten up the rooms and brighten things up a bit.  Still need furnishings but hey we are getting there.. It's just been crazy but we are still working away.  The weather has turned cold on us so can't have windows open while painting but paint is nothing like what it used to be year ago.  These pictures really don't tell a very good story but give an idea.  The cold is still hanging on but I am getting a little better every day.  The barking like a seal isn't quite so bad any more. ha!  

These past few months have been sort of crazy for us running back and forth to Arizona and finally getting into house.  I like lots of color too but this house is just too small for some the colors that were here so the bright school bus yellow had to go!  The kitchen and hallway are now white and feels like a new place!  Fridge is due on Monday and that will really be nice!  We have been doing ok using fridge in RV and ice chest in house but... Unfortunately I caught a terrible cold that really knocked me out for a few days but am on the mend now so have to play catch up and am afraid I am just not going to get there but will give it a shot!  

So the Motor home doesn't exactly fit behind the house but it's a very close fit!  Had to chop away at the plants a bit but we are in.  So far we have been very busy moving belongings from the RV into the house and still in process of shopping for furniture and getting "moved in".  Taking our time and getting to know the area some in the process as well!  Have met a few of our neighbors and Earl has even been over to the hot tub a few times.  Guess it has been a little much for me and somehow I have contracted a bit of cold.  Ah well, otherwise all is moving along just fine.
