Good Afternoon~
Sorry I have been gone a few weeks but... I've been out visiting with my daughter Michele in Tucson, Arizona for the past 3 weeks! I didn't have time to share with you on here, as the time just flew by, both before I left to go there and then once I was there. Let me explain.. first of all Michele drove here from Arizona to pick up a small u haul trailer here in Oklahoma and then to get all of her items out of her storage unit here and take them back to Arizona to put them in her storage there. So... she was only here for two nights and then on Friday the 19th of August we all decided that Mom would travel back along with her in her vehicle. So... that's what we did. I had a wonderful trip out to Tucson and also a really wonderful trip back home on Soutwest Airlines. The time with Michele in Tucson just flew by. She had to work weekends at the hospital, and then was off during the week, which made it so nice. It usually takes a couple of days to recoup from working 3 - 12hr. shifts over one's weekend. Just thinking about doing it made me tired.
Michele & her friend Maggie took me to the Saguaro National Park. It was very beautiful! I really enjoyed seeing the Saguaro's and all the different kinds of catci. I really love the Barrel catci and the Hedgehog catci. The Desert Marigold is very pretty also. The Mesquite tree was quite unique to see also. I was telling Michele that I might have her go to that one Mall that we went to and order me some arrangement with different catci's in it. I'd love to have something like that, especially if they don't need to be watered every day! They ought to last me a real long time!

I really enjoyed Tuscon. Didn't see any green lawns anyplace... I told Michele that Dad would love to live there as he'd have no lawn work to do on his weekend's off! We could really make family outing plans then!!
Michele also took the time to show and teach me about how to go about cutting, sorting & putting in my binder the coupons out of the Sunday newspaper & other items that has coupons in them, and using the coupons at the grocery stores and Walgreen's, CVS, Target, Wal Mart just to name a few places. She has definately made a believer in me of using them!! Who said one can't teach an oldish person new tricks? Michele proved them wrong! I've got a ways to go on all that I need to learn, but, I sure am enjoying learning how to save a few dollars at all these places. I told her better to have those few extra monies in my pocket instead of theirs.
You all have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by and visiting with me. Sorry I've been gone so long... but, I'm back now!!
Blessings,
