My parents and aunt and uncle came up to enjoy some Prescott Christmas events!

• Courthouse lighting - very nice but super crowded and shuttle was quite disorganized

Local children singing hymns before the lighting

We setup chairs in the morning

20 Year Blog Anniversary

Today is my 20 year anniversary of this blog!

I started it at the heydey of personal blogging.  Unfortunately, most blogs of that era have moved to social media such as Facebook, gone commerical or just died off.

Hopefully I will be here for 20 more!

Jaya's Engagement Party Weekend

Jaya and her financee had an awesome engagement party in Tucson where we met his family.  We are very blessed to be a part of their family.

We also got a round of golf in at the country club and had a good visit to the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum.

Verde Valley Jeep Loop

Took a nice jeep ride through some nice country north of us, then looped through Jerome, Clarkdale, Cottonwood, Cornville and Camp Verde.  Got coffee and gifts at Stardust Books in Clarkdale; had a nice lunch in Cottonwood at Red Rooster Cafe and got some end tables at Sweet Pea Trading in Camp Verde.  Also scouted out some spots to check out in the future.
