40th Anniversery

The week in Mesa, Arizona was wonderful and warm - we love to sit by the pool and read and swim when we get too warm and that was exactly what we did. We met a couple from the town where Mary grew up and had a couple of afternoons of interesting conversations. One day, we drove with the Bloems to Bryce Thompson Arboretum east of Apache Junction and though it was 90F, we enjoyed our walk among gardens and desert plants. The hummingbird garden was in full bloom and had lots of the tiny creatures flitting about and drinking nectar from the flowers. Our anniversery was on Sunday and the Phoenix CRC was celebrating with another couple, their 50th, so we joined the festivities with cake and renewal of vows. Church quicly becomes family when you are away from home. Jack gave me a bouquet of lovely yellow roses and we had dinner at Red Lobster and shared the day with phone calls from family. We are blessed!!
