June 2, was kindergarten graduation day for Isaac. Papa and I were delighted to attend! The four kindergarten classrooms had a special surprise for the audience… a special version of “New York, New York” called “First Grade, First Grade”. It was really cute. The beginning was strong and clear, after that it became a little… Continue reading Isaac’s Kindergarten Graduation

Balance Bikes to Pedal Bikes -NO Training Wheels!
When Isaac and Mona each turned two, Barry and I got them balance bikes. Stores didn’t seem to carry any, so I started looking online.

Unfortunately, it was too big and… Continue reading Balance Bikes to Pedal Bikes -NO Training Wheels!
A Wedding at CVR!
May 1, 2022, our CVR neighbors, Donna and Larry, who live right next door to us tied the knot! They are an amazing, couple.

ARTrails 2022- Yuma Foothills
I saw the pamphlet for the Yuma Foothills ArtsTrail. It looked like it might be a fun thing to do. I asked Nancie Pagett if she would like to go with me. She did, and we had a blast! We were shocked that there were so many artists that lived so close to each other… Continue reading ARTrails 2022- Yuma Foothills

This was our second winter here in Yuma, and we finally made it to the Territorial Prison.
