Snow Day

 Tuesday, January 26, 2021 - St. David, AZ

We got snow today!!  But while it came down pretty good, the ground was relatively warm and there was no accumulation.

It was another wonderful day!

Accepted Offer

 Monday, January 25, 2021 - St. David, AZ

After a couple of weeks of checking on prices of modular homes and building a hangar, we finally have an accepted offer on the property in Safford, AZ.  Oh no!!  What have we done!!  We are property owners once again.  Now we start the process of getting electricity to the property.  The septic is already there and we are going to do a well sharing agreement with Dave, so all we will have to do is connect a pipe to his well.  Hopefully we will have enough water pressure.

It was another wonderful day.

Visit Kartchner Caverns State Part

 Sunday, January 17, 2021 - St. David, AZ

After church we headed for Kartchner Caverns State Park.  We went here several years ago and took the cave tour.  Today we just planned to take a hike.

We took the Foothills Loop Trail.

It was another wonderful day!

Visit Chiricahua National Park

 Saturday, January, 16, 2021 - St. David, AZ

It took us a while to get up and get moving, but when we finally did we headed down for Chiricahua National Park.  The last time we were here was 1994 when we lived in El Paso, TX and my family came down for a visit.

We did hike the Massai Point Trail.  It was a nice trail with a lot of wonderful views.

While hiking we did try to take a couple of selfies.  We still aren't very good at it.  :)

I think the last one is the best.  :)

Once we got done with the hike we hiked up to the observation building.

On the drive out I saw these white veins in the rock.  I thought they were cool, so I just had to take a couple of pictures.

It was another wonderful day!

Check out Property

 Saturday, January 9, 2021 - St. David, AZ

This morning we headed to talk to Dave Johnson about buying his 2.5 acre property.  It is a very nice property and almost exactly what we are looking for.  To the east is BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Land.

To the north is an airport runway, which is a dirt runway.

To the south would be a new neighbors. 

This is the runway looking to the west.

This is the runway looking to the east.

The next 2 pictures are looking west at the property.  Dave's house and hanger are to the west of the property.

I think if we can agree upon a price we will be buying a 2.5 acre piece of property.

It was another wonderful day!

Travel Home

 Saturday, January 2, 2021

This morning we started the long drive home.  According to Google Maps, the faster route is 1day and 8 hours.  It is never something I look forward to, but spending time with family is always worth it.  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Happy New Year!

Friday, January 1, 2021 - Norfolk, VA

Since we were altogether we decided it would be a good time to get a family photo.  Vander moved around a lot trying to get his best side I guess. :)  But we finally did get one of all of us.

Jess and I ran to the grocery to get any last minute items for our traditional fondue dinner, then got busy getting things ready.  

It was a wonderful meal and we all had a great time.

It was another wonderful day!
