Our New Home in Tucson

Holly was able to "finally" get to accomplish one of her Arizona goals when Mr. McNierney went and got the keys and took Holly for a ride on the park golf cart. He even let her drive!! Way to go, Holly. The older generation of Wagons West thought this little blonde lady was so special and of course, who am I to disagree. Everybody wanted to meet her and were talking about her a couple of weeks after she'd left.
You can come anytime, Miss Holly. Grampa and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED having you with us all to ourselves for the whole week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my latest gift from one of my very dearest friends - there is no one in the world like Linda. I absolutely cherish her and hope she knows how much she means to me. Isn't this the neatest little dish - someday when she's a world-famous potter, I will be able to say I knew her when.

Now to our new home:

This is the wall hanging that Holly and I picked out at the swap meet - it's my inspiration and I really like it. You see it as soon as you walk in the door.

Here's the kitchen with the new terra cotta paint. The pictures are now hanging rather than just sitting there. I really need a cute one of Chase yet but in the meantime I have one of our home in Brandon with all the snow on it. Reminds me why I'm in Tucson!

Another picture of the kitchen.

I have my stereo speakers sitting on this little shelf now but the tv will go there when we get one. DeAnn, note my little bird ornament that you purchased for me at the gift store in Lynden - can't remember the name of it just now. Sorry.

Looking down the hallway toward the bedroom. Note the clock which I purchased for $4.00 on a garage sale - goes very nicely with the woodwork.

This is the light fixture and the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. It needed some freshening up so I painted it white, along with the vanity; however, I didn't get a picture of the vanity. I really like it painted rather than the wood color. Might do it to my master bathroom in Brandon also.

Well, that's it for tonight. Dad and I were sitting in the living room of the new trailer one evening and he says, "I really like the way the kitchen turned out, dear." When I was painting it, he wasn't sure he liked the color, at all.

Have a wonderful week ahead. Holly, I have more pictures coming of you on my next blog. Love you all to pieces!!!!!
