Disney World; flowers; friends and birds

Grand-kids Lydia and Blaine are in Orlando with their dad for a week before he goes to Afghanistan, and they are having a great time.disneyworld 2010

With Mickey and Minnie, of course.disneyworld mickey minnie 2010

Monday has been another beautiful day in the Arizona desert valley.  The advantage of recent rains are really becoming evident as the blooms are popping open.100_1099100_1143100_1152

Friends from Oklahoma, Perry and Janice Brown, came over this afternoon to get their generator out of our storage shed.  They will be leaving this week for home.100_1102

Late this afternoon, I walked over to the cactus garden to feed the birds and then I sat down on the bench and waiting for the quails to slowly make their way back to the feed.100_1113100_1118100_1119100_1125100_1127

As I walked over to get a picture of a poster Don had seen this morning during his walk, I spotted this little cottontail rabbit under a tree.100_1144

Here's the poster Don told me about.  Yes, we have quite a few very proud Canadians in the park.  They have reason to be proud.   100_1148

Tonight, we were invited to join Bud & Barb Steiner and Keith and Patricia Steiner.  Here's Don and Pat getting ready to play Mexican Train.  It was more fun for the gals than it was for the guys... if you get my drift.  Regardless, it is always a good time of fun and fellowship with these friends.100_1161

Today was also a good day of phone conversations with daughters and Mama Trudy.

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, 
and no mind has imagined 
what God has prepared 
for those who love him.”
