Special Month of February

The month starts off with Barb and Teresa having a birthday. Sadly we don't get to celebrate it together. Barb and Teresa use to before Barb retired spend the day together shop tell we dropped and then have lunch.

Jill Wilson (Barb and Jerry's hair dresser) come to AZ to surprise her father on his birthday. She agreed to come to the house and color and cut hair bless her she brought all her stuff with her. Well in the process of putting the color on Barbs hair the towl the bowl of color was sitting on, at the table slid off and guess what half of the color is on the floor. Jill is frantically scooping up the color as this is all she has with her, Barb is frantically getting wet paper towels to wipe up what is left on the floor. Guess what the two guys are doing in the picture below NO they are not praying they are frantically wiping up the floor. It was one of those group efforts. All in all you see in the one picture Barb still has her hair colored and a new cut so all turned out ok. Barb cooked dinner and a good time was had by all.

Also this month Jerry and Barb decided to take the window out of the garage and put in a golf cart garage door and drive way and make better use of the garage. Many others have done that with this model home. It turned out great. But then come the decision what to do about the paint as the painter said the new garage door would look different than the original because of the age of the paint so we might want to paint them both. Then we really like the new concept which is to access the trim around the doors and the window and arch way by the front door with a different color. Now the decision is to do we paint the whole house or just the new addition part. Fianally after a couple days a decision was to paint the whole house especially when the plan was to do it in a year or two anyway.

Also we made a decision to take out a tangerine tree in the back yard as they were not good eating and very messy so a landscaper come by and took it out. Well for a cost of course. But it all worked out well as we had extra dirt that had to be put someplace because of the new drive way in front so made use of it by making a mound in back where the tree was and we put some new small catus in there. The picture below is our new area where the tree was.

Here is the finished product of our house. All in all we are very pleased with the outcome. One more thing has to be done and that is the coating on the drive way and side walk to the back yard. It can't be done for 30 days as the cement has to cure.

Also this month Barb joined a new golf group of 12 ladies that golf on Thursday afternoon. The group is called Giggles and Hit and we have a lot of fun. We are all out their to have fun and try and improve our score but if it happens great if it don't well we will try harder next time. Then we go to the club house restaurant and have a beverage of choice and free pop corn. They also call it their meeting which it consists of as a lot of laughing and finding out who can play the next week.

Jerry and Barb played in their first golf tournament it was a invitational by a group here called the Bandits and Jerry's cousin Lydle & Jill invited us to be their guests. We had a great time playing golf with them. Then afterwards it was dinner on the patio of the club house. Lydle fixed 7 prime ribs and the group served prime rib sandwiches and etc for dinner.

That wraps up the month and a busy one it was oh I forgot to mention we have had WA weather down here for the month also. I guess they need the rain but we heard that Flagstaff, AZ had the most snow of all the large citys in the US.
