Welcome Sunshine Baby

Last evening my neice gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and they named her Mackenzie Ann Effertz.  Carrie and Jason have been married for 12 years and waiting for this day to happen.  I am so happy for them, and after all that snow which will help them remember this big day in Minnesota history, the sun is shining brightly....I think a good omen. Congrats to Carrie and Jason!  Can't wait to see her.

Still waiting to bring my car in to be repaired.  I'm assuming that as yesterday was a Holiday they were not able to get a hold of the insurance company.  So maybe another call is due by me. 

Did a lot of cleaning and filing etc. yesterday, and also got the dryer fixed.  The poor dryer is about 20 years old and this is the first repair I've ever made on it....so hopefully this money was well spent....but it was still cheaper than a new dryer. 

Seems like I've been paying out more than is coming in....got to work on that problem.  But I did get the trip to Phoenix planned and booked yesterday.....I used my skymiles....so that only cost me $7.50 tax or something.  I also arranged a way to get back to Phoenix and on a plane at 6:20 a.m.....my good friend Rita Culshaw and her husband Tom will pick me up at the airport where the shuttle from Sedona will bring me on Sunday afternoon, and then they will let me stay at their place that night and take me to the airport bright and early....I don't even want to think about what time I need to get up....yuk!!  Early morning travel is a problem that comes from using skymiles....traveling times are limited.  Now I have to get someone to pick me up at the airport on Monday afternoon.  Hoping that Jimbo or Ann will beable to do that.  Looking forward to some more warm weather....and seeing Kathleen....as she is going to come and visit me there.

I guess I was really quite busy yesterday now that I think about it.  I hear that Jeannie is doing well and Bucky continues to fail and is limiting visitors to family only.  I am so happy they are all able to gather and create great memories of a wonderful father!  Love and prayers to all, m
