We finally found someone to make us a sign for a reasonable amount -- so here's our sign. (It's very small, but if you look really hard you can see the red heart she put on about where Moscow is located.) We decided since we have South Dakota license plates, we should have something to let people know where we're really from! We are enjoying Arizona and at this point looking forward to Spring. The forecasters are saying that Arizona is about 1 1/2 inches above normal for rainfall so far this year. That usually means the desert will be in bloom. We're looking forward to it and will take lots of pictures if it is! We'll stay in Arizona area at least until the end of March (so Betsy can get her new crown) then we'll head east to Sherman, Mississippi again for some warranty work on the coach.
Saturday, Betsy got to go to a brunch at the Ward we're visiting here in Phoenix. Our friends, Diane & Mike Martinez, from Moscow, go to this Ward so it's been fun to get reacquainted with them since we've been here. It was fun to visit with all the women at the brunch and get to know them better.
Yesterday we went to the Scottsdale Fine Arts Show. WOW, over 100 talented artists under one roof. Lots of talent and lots to look at! There were 2 artists from McCall, 1 from Cambridge, and 1 from Lewisville. The one from Lewisville was Gregory Sievers. We had to go back and ask him where Lewisville is located (between Roberts and Rigby). He asked if we knew where that was and we told him we did, because we had 2 children go to Ricks College. He also does church historical paintings and has a painting in the temple at Winter Quarters and one in the Conference Center! He said it was very humbling to have his paintings chosen to be displayed! It was very interesting to talk to him.
This morning we tried SKYPE for the first time. We called our friends Jack and Sandy in Florida. It was so cool to be able to see them as we visited with them. It made us realize how much we have missed them! We need to get more of our family members on SKYPE too!!! (hint, hint)
