What a glorious day here. Last night we went down to the Mesa art center. The beautiful IKEA theater. We saw a Group called “Under the Street Lamo”. They sang lots of oldies, but goodies, but also beautiful, wonderful Christmas music. It was a delightful evening. And I wish I could figure out how to put photos on my blog, but I haven’t got there yet.
Well it’s Wednesday already. November 16th 2022
It’s been a busy week, Monday morning I had an 8 PM appointment with my orthopedic doctor. And I got a shot in my knee. They also said I needed a new knee but that is some thing I will have to think on. One of the possibility is to put that off would be getting gel in my knee in three months. If insurance pays for it that’s the route I am going to take for now.
I went over to my Friends house Dede, and we spent the morning together at about noon she didn’t feel well so I went next-door to the Saigon bowl and got my favorite wings and potstickers for Jim and I.
On Tuesday I went back to work volunteering at the Purple Heart Desert thrift store. I work 745 to 1245 because Jim took our car to the dealership for a recall. We now have a rental car and it’s a white Jeep grand Cherokee. I really like the car.
Bone builders today, I get to FaceTime the girls at Bethany.
It is Sunday morning November 13, 2022.
We went downtown last night to a concert at Phoenix symphony hall. Phoenix symphony hall is in the convention center. Is it an Enormous complex.we were competing with traffic because at the convention center there was an Elton John concert. Traffic was a joke. We got to our concert in the nick of time.The guest conductor last night was Rob Fisher. The name of the show was Best of Broadway. There were two vocalist, the female vocalist was Michaela Bennett, and the male vocalist was Rob Levite’s. He was absolutely a wonderful tenor and her voice was so engaging, I don’t know how to describe her voice except there was such power in it. Excellent excellent show but we expect nothing less at Symphony Hall. The Phoenix symphony is just incredible.
It is Saturday, November 12, 2022.
I have been washing clothes this morning in fact I am on my fourth load. I think Saturday is a good day to do bedding and it takes at least two loads because of the king size sheets. It’s a nice day today and tonight at 7:30 we are going downtown to the Phoenix symphony hall for a show and I’ll let you know about that tomorrow. I wish I could figure out how to do pictures on my blog but that will come in time.
It is Friday, November 11, 2022.
It’s Veterans Day and we have both our son John who is a Navy veteran and Jim who is an army veteran. So proud of them and grateful.
It’s been a busy week just getting settled in and back into the routine. In fact tonight we had walleye to get back in the swing of things thinking of you all back home. Remer is home.!
We are back in the swing of attending church at Victory Lutheran. I have to remember to ask them when they plan on starting their Bible study because then we could ship it to Remer.

It is currently 24° out and we are crossing on I 40 from New Mexico and I would imagine we will be in Arizona in about two hours. Sun just came up been on the road for a good hour. I said
Here it is Friday November 4th 2022
We got to our hotel in Emporia Kansas about 5 PM. We stayed at a very lovely Comfort inn. We ate at an Applebee’s and being in Kansas we had a wonderful rib dinner. We got up this morning about 5am, I think Jim would’ve slept in but I wouldn’t let him. We took off by 5:45 and it’s still dark until almost 8 and besides being dark is raining to beat the bed. He is glad I’m not driving. Jim thinks we’re in a squall, I think we’re in a nightmare. Remember it was just Halloween.
We are in Pratt Kansas and a box of screws fell off the vehicle and we are probably fifth in line to get a tire fixed or replaced at Cooper tire. We have three in our tire.
Jimmy's not happy!
2 before us, we are the 9th person this happened to
OK, it’s 10 AM and we had three tires that had screws in them and it’s repaired and we’re on our way.
We left Remer around noon on Wednesday. Packing up for the journey isn’t as much fun as it used to be. It’s a lot of work!
Our plans were to stay at Skye’s but she came down with Covid from being at school. So instead we got the opportunity to stay with Mac and family.
We went out for a lovely dinner at “Pig on my Porch”. In Lorretto. It’s just fun being with the family but we missed Laura because she was on a business trip to Sacramento.
Dogs slept well in car last night.
Thursday afternoon:m
After picking Jim up from his appointment at Fairview Southdale Hospital we had good news that he is cancer free .
While he was at his appointment I was able to visit one of my special dear friends from my “Holiday”girl group when I worked at Holiday foods in the accounts payable department, Judy Thompson, I called her and she invited me over for coffee and I had a wonderful visit and a apple flip.
Jim was done earlier than anticipated so I left by 10 and picked him up and we shot off for southern parts unknown.
We made it through Iowa we are still in Iowa but we are going to cut the bias in Missouri and head for Emporia Kansas tonight so happy days. We will have to celebrate.
