Tombstone, Arizona
Sometimes I just can't find the motivation to sit down and do a blog post. And every time I regret it, promise myself I won't lapse again, and then. Life.
It's a quiet and slow time on our little hill in the desert. Like every Spring, the weather is up and down and back and forth. The wind has returned but the bugs haven't shown up yet. It's limbo time, between waiting and going. Time dragging and flying.
With one wonderful exception, there isn't a lot to include, or worry about missing.

Rebecca and I make some quick day trips, Bill and I have breakfast in Bisbee, we meet Tucson friends Kim and Jack for lunch after a medical appointment, and Tessa has a good news vet check.
At 14 Tessa will continue to slow down, but she still entertains us with the occasional whole-house-zoomies. The good news is that her heart murmur was a misdiagnosis, and she instead has a strong, healthy heart. She tires and has some balance issues, our good ol' girl.
I spend a few days getting PJ ready for her first adventure, and for a quick visit from our pals Maggie and Jimmy. They'll be here for a solemn reason, the funeral for our friend Anna's mom, but it will still be great to see them.
I certainly never thought I'd have 10 grands, but they sure are wonderful :-))))

No news is good news! So good to hear from you Jodee, or should I say Grandma - again! Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteStill can't wrap my head around 10!!
DeleteBeautiful grandchildren! That Magnolia is indeed beautiful, all that hair! I have a great niece named Magnolia--she is a red headed spitfire! Hope your adventure is all you want it to be in your new rig!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janna :-) I'm sure this Magnolia will be another live wire like her sisters! So far great trip.
DeleteHi Jodee - you are truly blessed with such great grands. Magnolia is certainly a cutie! The Ren Fest looks like a fun event.
ReplyDeleteI miss Ren Faires and just never seem to schedule being near one to attend.
DeleteHi Jodee…congratulations on a beautiful new granddaughter. I love the name Magnolia. It’s great to hear from you! Breakfast in Bisbee sounds wonderful! Safe travels…
ReplyDeleteI love her name as well - so vintage cute! There are other places for breakfast in Bisbee, but the BBC just calls us back every time.
DeleteA nice summary of the good life. 10 grandchildren is amazing. And all so cute. I'd live to do another Ren Faire too. So glad that trip here prepping for is the one where I get to see you.
ReplyDeleteAgreed having my first sojourn is meeting up with you! We'd have such fun at a Faire :-)
DeleteSo hard to see good dogs get old, happy to read that Tessa has a strong heart.
ReplyDeleteToo hard sometimes, but have to hold on to the blessing of every day we have. I was very excited to get the good news about her heart.
DeleteGood to hear from you! Such great news about Tessa:) That photo of Reese and Penelope with Magnolia is beyond precious!! Congrats on #10! So neat to see Oliver out on the trial hiking!
ReplyDeleteOliver loves the outdoors and exploring. He's definitely going to be our hiker!
DeleteTen grands!!! I remember your first! :-)) They are all beautiful children. And of course, I think Magnolia is a wonderful name. Glad to know that Tessa is doing well and still doing zoomies...she inspires me to keep doing my version of zoomies, haha!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd like that name :-)) I hope our Magnolia has lots of adventures like yours :-)
