Meet Miranda's Mom

Friday, September 30, 2016 - Valparaiso, IN

This week at work was a rough one.  First the CEO was let go or left, then as my boss was telling us the news he announced he was resigning.  I will be polishing my resume when I get home.  The new company that bought us out in March is not making me feel real comfortable about having a job in the future.

Mike arrived last night and tonight we met Tony, Miranda and Miranda's mom Natalie at Wing's Etc in Mishawaka.  We had a really nice time!  We sure did like meeting Miranda's mom.  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Gracie's New Friend

Monday, September 26, 2016 - Amado, AZ

Since I am Indiana Mike has to walk Gracie.  He took her for a long walk today and went out on the road.  On their walk they came across Gracie's new friend!  Mike's words, not mine.  :)

If I was there she would not have gotten that close.  Yes it is a tarantula!

It was another wonderful day!

Head for Indiana

Sunday, September 25, 2016 - Amado, AZ

This morning we went to San Martin Catholic Church in Sahuarita, AZ, since I needed to be at the airport by noon.  It is a very nice church in the middle of a pecan grove.

There were literally no other building around.

The flight was uneventful, the kind I like.  Tony and Miranda were able to pick me up.  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Pima Air & Space Museum

Saturday, September 24, 2016 - Amado, AZ

Today we went to the Pima Air & Space Museum.

There were lots and lots of planes inside and out.

After a full day at the air museum we went to Elvira's Restaurant in Tubac.  It was very good.

Lots of lights and a live band.

It was another wonderful day!

Horny Toad

Tuesday, September 20, 2016 - Amado, AZ

I am still not feeling well, but Gracie still needs to be walked.  As soon as we headed out we saw this very small horned lizard.

Gracie was not real interested.  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Sick

Monday, September 19, 2016 - Amado, AZ

Well I now know why I was having such a hard time hiking yesterday.  This morning I woke up with such a bad cold!

It was another wonderful day!

Madera Canyon

Sunday, September 18, 2016 - Amado, AZ

This morning after Mass we decided it would be a good day to head for higher cooler country.  So we went to Madera Canyon.  The temperature up here is about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than at the RV Resort.  So that made it about 85.  :)  We checked out all of the trails and decided to go on a shorter one.  So off we went.  I tried to take a picture of the trailhead sign.

It did not look readable, so Mike stood behind the to see if it would make it more readable.  I am not sure it worked.  :)

Along the trail we came across a small waterfall that Gracie wanted to check out.

It was a very rugged trail and I was really struggling to keep up.

We saw this unusual tree and I just had to take a picture of it.

 Pretty soon I was just to tired to go any further, so Gracie and I waited for Mike while he went just a little further up the trail.

Soon we got back down to the picnic area and checked out the sign for the Old Baldy Trail.  It looks like a trail I would have enjoyed when I was younger, but the way I feel today it is not going to happen.

It was another wonderful day!
