Special Guests

Last Thursday we had some very special visitors from Oregon. Lyle and Jill M and Duane and Rayetta S from the Portland area made a detour on their trip to Yuma to Tucson to meet us in person. It was very special as Jill and I have connected through blogs and facebook but have never met in person. Lyle and Jills son is married to my sisters/brother-in-laws neice so I feel like I should know them. Duane and Rayetta are fabulous too and it was a priveledge to spend time with all of them. I took Thursday afternoon off work and we had a nice time together despite them having a little (hopefully its not too bad) car trouble. Here are a few pictures of our brief tour around Tucson.

How fun!

I finally met Jill in February; I, too, had seen her around FB, and felt like I should know her, seeing as she is the mother of my brother's girlfriend's sister's husband. :D (Sorry; I couldn't help myself--it's really fun describing those connections. :D)

(Oh, and thanks for the thumbs up on the new specs. :D)

Thanks for all of your comments. We had a wonderful time with you & Jim. I felt like we already knew you and we had met Jim several years ago thru Uncle Ralph. Thanks for your hospitality and taxi service. We really enjoyed the park.
