Aaahhhh! Breathing again.

It's been a busy few weeks, but we made it. I so feel for Teresa. Hope all is well with her and her family and that they are enjoying their new life!

We moved July 2&3 to an almost finished house. The cabinet maker is here today installing all of the cabinets and drawers so now I can unpack and organize. Plus the electrician and media wiring guy are finishing up. I'm happily unpacking boxes and taking them outside. Yahoo!! However, I'm not sure that I need 1/2 the stuff I brought! I'll post pictures when it's unpacked.

July 3-12 we went on our first trip to Lake Powell. Even the drive through northern Arizona was beautiful!
Coincidentally, Tudi and Roger were there for a couple of the days and joined us. We sure enjoyed their company.

We are standing in front of Rainbow Bridge, considered one of the 7 new natural wonders of the world. It was 50 miles up river plus a shortish, HOT hike, but worth it.


Here we are at Sandy Beaches, where Krista spent the week. Hot and barren, but a nice cove with an incredible view.

Don is really a kid at heart. He is playing in the sand after being buried up to his chin. Everyone is amazed, and pleased, with his youthful exuberance and energy.

We were very impressed with Lake Powell. It is HUGE. You could get lost and never be found! The weather was perfect (high 90's), the water was like glass much of the time, and since we go Monday-Friday, it wasn't too crowded.

It was great to get away for a few days and come back refreshed and relaxed.
