Christmas with the grandkids was wonderful. We flew from AZ to Detroit where it is a short drive to their homes in Ontario, Canada. There was so much snow and, with winter storms, we were not able to make the trip to Owen Sound to see our moms. We had been looking forward to taking the kids there overnight to show them the display of lights along the river. It is one of the most impressive John and I have ever seen. We were able watch the boys skate and to see Ty win another shut out. Ty, Grace, Jack, Tate and Abby got Webkinz. Sarah will have to wait another few years for hers as she is too young. We were able to follow Santa's route on Google Earth and the kids made sure they left out lots of milk and cookies for Santa and his reindeer. John hurt his back while he and Michelle were shovelling on Christmas Eve but we were fortunate that Tim had a chiropracter friend who came to work Christmas day to work on him. He is in a lot of pain and we now know why we go south for the winter. We are so blessed to have our family to enjoy.Friday, December 26, 2008

Home for Christmas
This is our star goalie. We have been busy driving back and forth between Baden and Belmont spending as much time as possible with the grandchildren. Papa has to pay Ty $5 for each shut out and is going broke paying his debt. Ty is so fortunate to have a coach who seems to know what he is doing because everyone on the team is playing very organized hockey. We are so proud of him and the entire Atom AE team from New Hamburg. 'Go Huskies !'Monday, December 08, 2008
Yuma AZ
This is where we get our drinking water in the Foothills. We pull in, put $1.00 in the machine and fill up 5 gallon jugs of salt free water. Interesting.Saturday, December 06, 2008

We had a great day in Los Algodones, Mexico. Parked the car on the U.S. side of the border and walked across to a "Welcome Back Snowbirds" party. Pharmacies had free samples set out on tables for us to pick up and take home. Also had free samples of margaritas, beer and liquors. Lots of laughs, good food, interesting shopping and a little alcohol made for a memorable time.+020.JPG)
