Greetings from Sierra Vista, Arizona – This is one of our favorite spots to visit in Tombstone. I will provide more pictures of our journey next week!
I would like to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving. Clay and I have so much to be thankful for and we appreciate all that we can do in retirement. It is such a blessing that we will be retired 20 years in March and April 2019. The years have flown by!
Sometimes I wonder if I will be able to make 1/5 of the quilts that I have in the ‘que’! Most quilters begin to realize after building the cache of patterns and yards and yards of fabric that it may be an impossible task. But, alas, they sit patiently waiting to become an Heirloom quilt! I continue to live each day doing the best I can with the blessings I have been given in life and make quilts and enjoy our home! (And I miss our 5 acres)
We will be home this week-end just in time for a cold front. I am looking forward to it. The weather has been perfect here, but I am now ready for winter time!
Clay and I have learned that travel time plus 1 week in a Hotel is the way to go. We have been use to loading the 36’ Fifth Wheel and heading to Arizona for the winter and enjoying having our own home on wheels since 2000, but now it is Hotel time AND only a week at a time in the same place! I have now learned that I do not need to bring all the clothes I packed! Clay kept telling me, “you forgot the kitchen sink”, but it just did not get through, but believe you me – I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON!
Pray for this Nation as there are many powerful people filled with hate and anger who are trying to destroy our Nation by erasing its’ history and destroying the very Constitution that the country was based on. The next 2 years will be challenging to those of us who have seen the best of the United States of America and want that path continued. I pray for our President every day for his health and steadfast leadership.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with family and friends.

Hi Nanette! It looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Safe travels back home. We are expecting seven inches of snow tomorrow. It is too early for that much snow – it’s not even December yet!! That will make a foot of snow received so far this month. It sure makes me wonderful what actual winter will hold!! Happy Happy Saturday! ~smile~ Roseanne

Hi Roseanne! We are home safe and sound arrived last Saturday (3 days early) and glad to be home. But as with any trip – it took a few days to get back into the routine! Hope the snow lets up – we are in the 70’s today but Monday winter will return!
