Ok first let me say that KC and Mason came down and spent the night Friday so that Mason could be here for the Big Party, KC had to go home today to be there for the playoff game of Danny's and They WON and he will be going to the finals in Reno next Saturday with the Pirates. I hate this school with there small town Mormon click but it goes with there narrow minds, Danny's a good player and deserved to play more but if he has let that bother him he hasn't shown me, I really respect him for his good character. Bob bar b qued for our anniversary dinner and Lisa's family came down and we all ate delicious burgers it was really great and KC and I had a very nice visit after laying on the bed chatting about this and that, I really do wish I got to spend more time with here like this but life is busy.
OK now the Big 5th Party!!!!! Lily has been so excited and so dam cute about this party telling everyone about her upcoming birthday and party and of course she knows she will be 5 and holds up her 5 fingers when they ask how old she will be. It is really her first party and she had chosen Hello Kitty as a theme, Lisa organizes a superior party and no expense was spared for this one there was a jumper and it was at the veterans park by the play ground and the gazebo was decorated very cute with pink and black in honor of hello kitty who made an appearance for photos and to wish Lily happy b-day. Of course I was hello Kitty something that I so thourly enjoyed because it is so fun to see the delight on the faces of these little kids, but Lily who really wanted Hello Kitty to come to her party was scared of me (hello Kitty) and I never did get a picture with her. Granted I was a big hello Kitty but I had fun, I don't know if she will remember this party but I will and rather then feel silly about doing this I am so glad that I could. I really hope that I will see many more Birthdays, graduations and weddings but you never know what God has planned for any of us, so I will keep my finger crossed. Mason is spending the night tonight with me he isn't feeling well and I will meet KC tomorrow in town to pass him back to her, I really wish we all lived in the same town again.

Anniversary 11-11-11
I always mean to keep up on this logging all the special moments but time gets away and lately I don't seem to get to my todo list........WHY? I am not really sure.
Bob and I celebrated our 38th anniversary by going to Arizona for a few days last week, we splurged on the Diane Keeton room at the La Posada which was just a gorgeous place to visit. The hotel is so nicely restored and we wandered looking at the Tina Mions art and the hotel and grounds. We went to the Homolvi ruins the same day we arrived and the vistas were really beautiful with clouds and deserted horizons. We dined (really we dined) that night at the Turqouise restaurant which is well known for its quality food and we were not disappointed at all, it would have been nice to enjoy a cocktail but Bob quit drinking in Sept after a very bad night of excess, and I honor his not drinking by abstaining myself. It doesn't really matter but I do seem to think about it more now that he has quit. Before we left for Sedona on tues we wandered along and took each others picture standing on the corner in Winslow AZ, silly but fun and then walked along the path to the totem and explored the trains parked along there. This was by far my favorite time of this trip once we got to Sedona it was just not has fun, Sedona the Verde valley Train and Jerome were all very nice just not that great, the hotel was average to say the least but the train ride was nice we snuggled along in the cold in the outside viewing car, Jerome was just a little side shopping trip. We really enjoyed ourselves this trip and my alter ego "Winona" (a name I pulled from a road sign we passed) teased Bob and we laughed ALOT it was really the best trip we've had in a while. On the 18th he will go for his prostrate treatment and I am keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well, at home he is bored and I wish I had more for him to do but mostly I think he's a bit depressed.

Birthday in August
Bob was so sweet his unexpectatly got me a Ipad for my b-day and at first I kinda thought it was a waste of money but honestly I really do like having it, its kinda nice to be trendy LOL. Bob was in Elko for my day and it was really more of a bummer then I thought it would be to be home alone. I went to Henderson with Lisa and the girls and had lunch at the casino (lisa got me a airstream village piece) but no fan fare no cake and I ate a hot dog for dinner, really it did suck not having anyone around.
But Today is Bob's bday and I got him a fish finder for his kayak and we took the kayak down off Nelson in the morning. It was incredibly still when we got there and we paddled down river, it didn't take long for the wind to come up and the river got choppy and being that I am not the strongest paddler we didn't go far but opted to pull into a delightful cove we passed on the way down. I had packed a beer for each of us and we swam and floated and talked and had a beer at 10:30 in the morning and it was pretty dam special and romantic too. It's still really hot with temps over 105 so mostly we just hung out this afternoon and had steaks and stuffed mushrooms for dinner. Bob used his new b -bque which he has custom built from his old compressor and it worked out pretty well. It's much nicer to be with your special someone on your b-day.
Tomorrow we go to find out what treatment and other info for the prostrate C and we will know how to get on with our next few months.

An evening walk with Jewel
I took a walk with rocket this evening, its still very hot and I'm terminally bored most evenings. So tonight I decided to take a walk and this delightful elderly woman met up with me on the street behind ours. She wanted to walk with me and rocket and she felt that she had met us before. Of course I hadn't met her but I agreed how nice it was to see each other again and she asked if we could walk to her Mom's house tonight who would then give us a ride home. It didn't take me long to understand that she probably had alzheimers or dementia but we strold along talking about how beautiful rocket was and how much her son loved dogs and would bring them home every chance he got. She understood that we had not met before at some point and we introduced ourselves, her name being Jewel (her mother named her that when she was a baby because she was so special) after a block or so I sensed she was getting tired and we turned about to return to her home that she shares with her son, who is elderly himself. He thanked me for returning her and he brought out water for rocket, of course I already knew that he loved dogs and this was Jewels proof, it made her very proud. She hoped that I would stop by again for a walk and I just might do that, but knowing how alzheimers works I have some doubt that she will remember me but I myself want to remember Jewel with her quick step and sincere conversation. She was so right when she observed how nice it was to walk with your friend.

I'm taking over
Ok this was started as Cassidy blog but she is doing other wonderful things so I think I'll take this over.
Just got home today from a wonderful sta-cation with Lisa and girls and Deb and girls. We went to the Golden Nugget and enjoyed the pool. Bob sprang for a Cabana and we all enjoyed the day swimming in the pool, chatting and sun bathing. I think Cassidy went down the slide 15+ times and after her initial hesitation I think that she was an old pro. Why Lily, lily is a water bug we swam and swam, her in her pink little inner tube she went all over the pool with me and her mom. Tony came down but was not feeling well, he's had a cough for weeks but Lisa decied to leave early and take him to the Doc. turns out he has pnuemonia so that sucks. Kaysey brought Mason down and him and I swam, he was afraid to go up to the shark tank at first but when he relized that the sharks and fish were not able to get into the pool he was delighted and we sat over there for a long time looking at the fish until his teeth were chattering from the cold. We had a little dinner and she had to head home. I love getting this little time with the kids and grandkids, always the knowledge that they are all growing up very quickly. Bob was up in Elko and danny was away at football camp so we were missing them.
