Fiesta Bowl Parade

During the past week we celebrated both Connie's dad's birthday (he was 86 on the the 23rd) and Christmas with Connie's mom and dad. Christmas day we had dinner at Harrah's casino south of Phoenix. Bob won $225.00 after betting about $6.00. He won this while waiting for the buffet tickets to be bought!

Tuesday we went to Lost Dutchman State park east of Apache Junction. We took a 2 1/2 mile hike and had a picnic lunch. It was a really nice day - temperatures in the 70's.

Thursday, Bob filed for social security. There are advantages to getting older. Friday Connie went to the doctor and found out she has shingles. What a fun end to 2006.

Saturday we went to the Fiesta Bowl Parade. We bought reserved seats in the bleachers. Connie's mom and dad went with us. The weather was nice - sunny and about 60 degrees. Tonight and on New Year's eve we're headed to square dances.

Happy New Year to everyone reading the blog!!
