Steve and I had the pleasure of visiting our friends the Purewals in Scottsdale, AZ. last weekend for a little golf and sunshine. When the idea originally started we were planning on watching Ohio State play in the BCS National championship. Of course by mid-season we knew that we wouldn't have to worry about trying to find reasonably priced tickets for the game but going to Arizona in January for a little golf still made sense. The only mistake we made was planning the return trip the day after the game. The airport was filled with Oregon Ducks and Auburn Tigers. We also flew into a major winter snowstorm in Detroit. The drive home was dicey with several cars in the median of Interstate 275 and 75,
Safely home now and getting back into the new years resolutions. Shovelling snow really works the shoulders and triceps. Next week we pick out a new tree to study and hope I get a new bird to learn about. Everyday now is closer to golf season and the days are getting longer. I sure wish they would get a little warmer.

Glad you got out to the "Valley of the Sun" a favorite spot for us! I am gong to enjoy the tree and bird study!
We are still coated with snow and ice - going on day 5 and no school - no mail (what is that expression about delivery in snow, sleet,...)! Anyway, we are pretty pathetic down here and do not cope well with more that 2 days of true winter weather. I was shoveling the inch of ice off the driveway yesterday; I feel it in my back (I obviously have lost the proper technique and the garden shovel was all that was available too)!
Thinking of you with warm thoughts!
Go out to 18 green and look at the ginko tree. It is supposed to be one of the oldest trees ever.
