Jerome, AZ

Image
Our good friends Joyce & Dave are visiting from Seattle so took a long drive up to Jerome for the day.  Perfectly lovely day and since they had never been before it was a treat for them.  Of course we all dined at the Haunted Hamburger (famous eating establishment there).  Can't beat the view of the Valley below.  Jerome is an old mining town that was built very steeply on the side of a mountain.  The sidewalks are mostly uneven so must watch your step and all the little shops cater to the tourist of course.  A fun day was had by all!

Cribbage Christmas party

Image
Each Monday evening we join in at the club house to play a little cribbage.  We have a pretty good turn out each week and it has been a good way to get to know some of the other residents here at "Dreamland Villa".  One of the ladies suggested we (Earlymun and I) host a little Christmas gathering so that is what we did last evening.  After playing only 4 games instead of the usual 6 we broke up to partake and sample some of each others goodies.  Oh my!  Although I only ate a small salad before coming it did not take long to fill up on all the different treats.  So thankful we have such a good group and folks watching out for each other .  

We Wish YOU a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

This year has been very good to us and we can only hope the new year will be just as good.  As you can see, we are well fed and although there are a few more silver strands up top we are both feeling fine.  Wishing you all a Very Happy Holiday and may you be blessed in the New Year!

Merry Christmas!

This year has been so different for us with decorating.  1st time with real tree in 13 years!  We have ornaments from all over the country so all with memories attached besides older ones we did manage to hang on to when we 1st went full-timing.  We even have a few strings of lights out in the front yard.  Our neighbors were feeling like grinch after seeing our house so have joined in the fun of decorating too.  It has been a busy time - went to Senior Talent show here in our little community and that was fun.  92 year old lady in red sequin dress; wow!  She looked and sang like 92 but she was having a gay ol time and we loved it!  I was impressed with the "tappers"; a group of about 6 ladies all seniors with their old tap dancing skills and the cutest outfits that one in particular had the skill to make for all!  Very nice indeed.  Last evening had a local church choir put on a show for us older folks which was very nice and so great they came to us. ha!  Enjoying this comm
