We finally got together with daughter Tracy and family today, they have been very busy with a new puppy, ordinary everyday life, Keith hunting and waiting for a nice day when we could barbecue and be outdoors. We had an awesome visit, catching up on news, sharing pictures and generally just yakking about stuff that makes up our lives and theirs. The afternoon flew by as it usually does when we visit and we made a date to visit them on Wednesday to meet their new puppy (a Chocolate Lab) and continue the visit. Tracy and I have talked on the phone for more than a few hours on the phone since our return but it sure was great to chat with Tracy, Keith and girls in person. Cannot believe how the girls have grown!
Keith and Lindsey, Lindsey is 14 and becoming a wonderful young lady!
We barbecued some burgers, hot dogs, side of brown beans and fresh veggies!
Brooklyn who is always smiling and a delight to have around!
We always bring small gifts home for the family and it really warmed our hearts to see the enthusiasm shown for each item. I had also knit some items and was not sure how they would be received but to my delight the kids loved them and each picked what they wanted. We try and find items made in Arizona and prefer items made in the area where we stay, something unique as opposed to the usual tourist stuff made wherever! We brought them some small boxes handmade of Pine Needles, when the lid is open there is a definite scent of Pine. I made each granddaughter a Fun Fur Scarf and Lindsey noticed that it had a "hole" in it, I am showing her how to tuck one end through the hole! The hole has a purpose and it is not a mistake!
Lindsey choose the blue and black one, Brooklyn the pink and blue, which was perfect as I had chosen those colours for them. I am wearing a red one which will go to Dani or Jen when we see them in July.
Kieth enjoying and Tracy ready to capture the moment! 
We had a wonderful visit and look so forward to seeing you all on Wednesday!
