Tucson Gathering

Today was our first full day together.   I spent the morning with Mom while Mimi and Stephen hiked Finger Rock.  Ev made us a nice lunch on the patio.   In the afternoon we went to Reid Park.   

These ducks entertained us for quite awhile.

After our afternoon outing we went together to a great Mexican Restaurant.

Almost done!



It was -16 this am when the boys arrived to finish the kitchen project.   
The plumber and electrician have come and gone and it looks like we will eat at home tonight.


This picture is for my sister in law - I told her I was cleaning out and I'm so proud of the mess that no longer exists under the sink.

The granite has an unexpected sparkle here and there.
We have a few things to be done yet, but Vic can finish while I fly off to a warmer climate.

No pictures........several have asked, but another delay because the man drawing the template goofed.  Maybe Tuesday!!!

Let's Be Honest

It's pretty bad when the only thing you have to photograph is your feet and a messy living room.   Several times a week I hear, "sure wish there was something to take a picture of"...

January has hit with normal temps so no one really wants to be out an about.  But, on the other hand who wants to stay in the house all day.

One of us is soon heading to Arizona for a mini Marquardt reunion.   As it is working out, 4 of the 8 siblings will be there at the same time  -- that rarely happens.


We started a kitchen countertop project last April.  Who would have guessed it would finally be done 9 months later.  Well, I should say, we hope to have it completed by Friday.   If it passes the inspection of the gal helping us and the 2 that live at this house, I'll post a picture.        

A Summer Evening Drive

A couple nights ago our neighbor (Sandra) came knocking on our door and asked if we'd like to go out for a ride in "The Chevy"...
