We were delighted when Jack and Madonna Brunton got to our house on Thursday, Oct. 16th. They were on a whirlwind National Park tour which eventually brought them through the Grand Canyon and then to our house for 2 days to look at the fall colors before returning home. We had a great time. I tried out a new recipe (which Madonna took a copy of) and served them breakfast a couple of days. We love company so we can cook breakfast; especially Steve. He loves to cook bacon!!! And he was in luck because Jack LOVES bacon!!! Jack had managed to take over 600 photos on their 6 day trip! I took 110 just on the one day we toured fall color areas around Flagstaff. A good time was had by all. Friendships continue to remain an important part of our lives in retirement years. I worked with Jack at Sempra for 8 years before he retired 5 years ago. Hope to see them out our way again soon!!

Yesterday afternoon, our dear friends Joan and Steve Birdwell arrived at our front door! They had been to a wedding in Payson and took an extra day in Arizona to come see us in our new house in Flagstaff! We had a good time just hanging out at the house, eating and visiting. Sure miss these guys. Hoping to see them again at Thanksgiving for a longer visit. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Well, we got up yesterday morning to find that elk had roamed through our property and munched on one of the two cottonwood trees we had put in our side yard. They also munched on the three small bushes we had planted. So.....off to the nursery to get another cottonwood tree today. Our landscaper is too busy to plant it so Steve and I will do it tomorrow. We think the bushes will probably survive (hopefully). You'll see one picture has boxes covering the one cottonwood they didn't get...but Steve will put cages around both trees to stop the elk and deer from eating them. We may have to put cages around the bushes, too! Ah, don't you just love living in the country....it's always something. Even though we have been here 21 months, we are still learning! Enjoy the pictures below!! Put your cursor over the picture to see my comments.
