Well, three days and counting until time to head north for some family time.
The girls and I will be heading out on Wednesday about 2:00-2:30 and hope to make cool country by no later than 4:30. Unfortunately, Shannon is stuck working again this year, but this way, she will be banking up a little extra income prior to the City of Mesa's 2% payroll cut that all employees will be seeing first of the year. She is also supposed to get Christmas off this way.
Hard times for everyone right now. Even if gas prices are down some, food prices and utilities are a killer.
Let's see, a little catch up on whats been going on lately...All the girls (Shannon, Emily, Kaylie and Grandma) are doing good. Emily was in a talent show at her school and did pretty good in front of the crowd. Kaylie is enjoying kindergarten and very enthused about sharing all she's learning :-). Emily, Kaylie and I are all now running twice a week in the 'Running Club' at Sanborn. We usually don't get past a 1/2 mile, and I sometimes have to remind them it's a 'running' club and not a walking club, but after only two weeks, I can already see an improvement in Kaylies overall coordination and I'm actually down about 5 pounds. WOOHOO!!
I've been doing some scouting with and will be going out with a couple of neighbors who got drawn for whitetail deer. If you want to really test your eyes out, check out this site and look for the 'Find the Deer Game' under the Photographs link on the left. (Think I'm going to go buy more powerful binoc's...) We'll be up hunting right there in the Verde Valley in unit 6A (I believe). Found some good spots and the neighbors will be back up Saturday after Turkey day doing some more scouting up around Apache Maid Mountain and around of Wet Beaver Creek.
Sounds like the girl's movie is about over and it is right at bed-time, so I'm stopping for now.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
