Birthday

We went to 99's for my birthday and were treated to our meal by an unknown person and the manager paid for our dessert.  I will try to put in a picture.

approaching 91

 I am on the eve of being 91 years of age.  I never dreamed of being this old.  I still enjoy life and look forward to each day.  Right now I'm off to fertilize my inside plants.  That should take the rest of my energy.  I just go home from Walmart, doing last minute Thanksgiving shopping.  I"m not decorated , but I have fixed the table for our family of 6.  

Mary and Beth at Colorado River.

 We drove for hours along the Colorado River to get to Moab and Archies national Park.  I loved every minute of the drive.  Charlie drove as I sat in the back seat taking photos.

So many lovely sights in the park.

Colorado visits

 While in Colorado, I visited with Beth several assisted living facilities.  My favorite was Solstice at Mesa View in Grand Junction.  I could be very happy there.  The next day we went touring along the Colorado River and on to Canyonlands and Arches National Park.  Very impressive.  So different and beautiful.  This picture shows me standing on Beth's new home patio

Thurday was an interesting day. Bryce drove us to the airport in Portand to catch our flight to Denver. Beth, Charlie and myself boarded the plane and 4 hours  later we were in Denver.   We had a short wait for our flight to Grand Junction and soon we were in the air again.  Just before we got to Grand Junction, the pilot announced that two big storms were in the area with 50 MPR winds and he was returning to Denver to wait for better weather.  To make a very long story short and after many promises for a new flight crew to arrive, we were told that the best they could do was reschedule the flight for 6:30 on Friday.  We found available seats as It was now too late to go to a hotel.  We lay on the seats for a 3 hour nap and a United Employee brought blankets for our comfort and we slept a little.  

Friday,  as promised, the flight happened and we were in Grand Junction in an hour. Charlie got the rental and we drove to Fruita, a few minutes away. Beth and Charlie went to close  on their house and I stayed in the AIRBAB and slept.  They bought the house and furniture. Later, Beth took me over to see the house and it is so very nice.  I love the layout.  Now on to the next adventure. an  assisted living home, but I"m worried about the elevation as I am some short of breath and I know Tom will be, so we will have to see.
