In the 'Meadow" in Show Low...and they just kept pouring in from the forest behind.

CONGRATULATIONS TO Nat and Jared!!!

You're homeowners!!! You Have KEYS!!!

It's BEAUTIFUL!!!

New fence project at the Shumway Cemetery.

A nice young man whose Grandmother is buried there built the fence for his Eagle Project.

And they smell so good, too. Thanks, Aunt Lorraine!

It's almost as fun to push the strollers as it is to ride in them. Ellie and Trinley.

I cannot stop laughing at this picture...I don't know what Ella said to Ellie, but it must have been a delicious little secret and quite "shocking." These two cute girls are so FUN!! We had a really good time at the zoo on St. Patrick's Day. The zoo was a "rat race" but, the company was absolutely the best. We had a pic-nic in a lovely little spot & green cup-cakes for Grandma and Grandpa's birthdays. Thanks to all for a fun day.

Taking an afternoon nap in the shade.

Lunch time for the giraffe. (and washing-up after lunch-time for the giraffe!) Oh, and it was "salad" for lunch...looked pretty good, too.

The "zoo bunch."

This is our favorite sign for the consolidation issue. We don't know about agreeing or not, but is was quite clever. Grandpa just called and said Big John got a message from his daughter who works at the Bank - the word on the street is that the vote was ---NO-- to consolidation - by both towns...interesting. (We, in Shumway, however, cannot take any claim to fame...we didn't get to vote.)

O.K. What is this???? The clock tower went up last weekend...is this an eyesore or an addition. Located between the plumbing store and the gas station and in front of the laundromat. (sometimes been suggested it's bigger and better than the Heritage Social Hall in the city to the north-hhuummm) Did we really need two of these within 2 miles of each other? It's a mystery to me....just waiting to see how this all plays out. If, in fact, the Wal-Mart goes in across the street - will they rethink their design options?

The latest little blooms.

Lone Pine Dam...check out the pillars for the fancy new bridge your tax dollars are building. Oh, well!!!

Saturday afternoon Grandpa asked is we needed anything from Wal-Mart or Safeway...we did so he said he would drive me...I should have known he "really" wanted to take a little drive to see how the lakes are filling up from the last snow storm. These are Mexican Lake and White Mountain Lake...up a little, but not as much as we thought...the weather is staying cold so the snow is melting slowly. Jake Flake Wash was running a little water when we left the Temple about noon...so maybe next week we'll have to go around the other way.

The desert is really beautiful this time of year...these photos were taken just before going up "home stretch hill." (Grandpa doesn't like to stop, so I just roll the window down and snap..)

Happy Birthday to Carrie and Reese!!!! This photo was taken last year when we visited them for their birthdays....missing you....hope your day is lots of FUN!!!

Happy, happy birthday to Jared....and look at that great wood pile...Thanks a million!!

Can you believe this???? We think this was bird made....We'll keep a close watch and see what may or may not develope...Spring, spring, spring?
