Catchup

Since our return to AZ from Maryland we have been busy doing the usual winter activities for the most part. Gypsy had another episode with a "foreign body" and another (second) surgery but is going very well. Can't thank our daughter-in-law enough for all her selfless help with Gypsy. Paige is making beads, knitting and spinning when she isn't planning happy hour with our neighbors and themed pot-lucks. I've been hiking a couple of times, riding the motorcycle nearly every week and watercolor painting with the painting group here in the park. One of my motorcycle riding friends had his son visit from Ohio last week; with the loan of a bike there was a series of group rides each day except Wednesday. I missed Monday's ride due to another commitment. There is enough going on to make the days pass quickly.
