Glen and Sue

As you know, Uncle Glen and Aunt Sue came to visit the end of February - what a pleasure it was to have them come.  Normally Uncle Glen doesn't like to travel but he seemed to be having a good time here in Arizona.  I hope he did!!!  I know Aunt Sue likes to travel.  They went off on their own most days and joined us for dinner at night; however, one day dad and I tagged along with them.

 

First we went to the Titan Air Missle Museum - I find it a very interesting place to go.  I know that you and John have been there, DeAnn but I'm not sure we've ever taken you, Amy.  We're waiting for Kurt to come with you.

 

Then we went to the ASARCO Copper Mine and took a tour.  The gentleman who lead the tour had worked at a mine before retirement and was very knowledgeable.

 

 

I somehow lost the picture of Uncle Glen and Aunt Sue in the bucket so I'll just put dad and I in.  This is an old bucket; the ones they use now are much larger.

 

 Uncle Glen gaining knowledge from the tour director.

 I think Uncle Glen was thinking that maybe he could get a job at the mine keeping their trucks in working order.  Once again, this is an older truck; the ones they use now are much larger.  When they get a new truck, it comes in on three vehicles and needs to be assembled on sight.  Another interesting tidbit is that they have several women drivers and the tour guide said that they are the "BETTER" drivers.  Go figure!!!!

 One night we went to Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse with Gary & Nancy.  If you wear a tie to this restaurant, they cut it off and then put it up on the wall or the ceiling or wherever they can find a place.  As you can see, Uncle Glen wouldn't put on the nice tie dad purchased for him.

 Glen and Sue, we loved having you.  Please consider coming back to visit us sometime.  Just think in a couple of years, you could actually buy a place down here and be with us all winter long!!!??

Stay tuned for an account of our exciting week with our next company.

Have a great week!!!!  Love to all of you
