First Monsoon


On the last Sunday in June Rob and the kids came over so Rob could clean his car in our afternoon shaded driveway, he cleaned top to bottom, inside and outside, shiny as a new copper penny for the trade with Lara. Lara has decided she wants the newer Toyota and Rob should take the older Van.
We always make sure that the Grand-kids leave with some goodies - toys, books, clothes, etc. Here's Papa getting the goodie bag into the car the last Sunday in June. Avery is showing the camera the bag and Audrey is already getting into it ! This coming Saturday we are invited to "Movie Night, Toy Story II " at Rob's with the kids and we will bring a goodie bag that will have a goodie for Papa ! Even Papa's need a surprize once in a while.
Boy - has it ever been HOT HOT HOT this week! Tonight, Friday July 9, we have had our 1st MONSOON !!! A wall of Hail came down our street from the Superstition Mountains, heading west, in the front of the house - but it was almost dry in the back of the house - then a wall of water swept past us - as Reg and I stood looking out the living room window, then a wall of sand !!! All of this took only 8-10 minutes. We went back and forth between the front windows and the back windows - comparing what was happening. Holy Cow !!! Exciting Stuff ..

  1. Wow Val, Didn't you get pictures?? LOL We've had a couple of huge storms and the state has had numerous tornadoes too. We have practically a 360 degree view around us so we get some rather spectacular scenes ~ even some very awesome sunsets. I hope you get to come up for a visit sometime!! Miss you...
