First off we want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Don't have to worry about us this holiday season, the weather is nice, the scenery is awesome and we are perfectly content in our little mobile life style.
We started out in Oregon in the rain, in the rain, in the rain, sometime around April or May we started making plans to go to Arizona, Willcox to be more specific and set our departure date to be the 1st of October. Then the phone call came from Cleota and she asked to come to Round Valley and house and dog sit, there are some pic's on a previous post. So our departure date was moved up to the 1st of September and off we went to spend a little time in Emmett, then Round Valley, back to Emmett and then south shortly after Josiah's birthday. Stopped for a couple days in Blackfoot to do a little Shaklee Business, the worst part of all the travel was almost everyday the price of diesel was climbing, rapidly. Willcox still being the goal we continued south to St. George Ut. to visit Cleota and Stan at their winter home and after visiting some of the local National Parks we decided to stay the winter and continue on to Willcox at a later date. Sounds pretty boring so far but we have had some great experiences and there will be more on the way. With the price of fuel rising we decided to buy a small economy car to do our sight seeing, so instead of pulling to Willcox we are going in the car to check out the landscape and a real estate opportunity. So to wrap this all up we had a great year, got to see the family except for a couple people and was glad to do that. We miss all you guys and there are hints that we may be back in the land of ID this coming summer. Don't tell anybody it's a secret.
Fun things we did this year:

Almost got kicked out of the Spirit Mountain Casino
Partied in Seattle with the Eclands and friends

Hermitage, the hotel? The museum in Russia? or the home of Andrew Jackson in Nashville?
As for parties you were here for two of them and they were both a blast, in fact we missed you Saturday night for our annual Christmas ho-down.
I love your adventures, keep writing about them and don't forget to come back this way, or even further if we're in Hawaii someday. :)
Andrew Jackson's Home, Your parties are always fun, we are going to Kona next October, can't wait.
Hope to see you in the ID this summer...
tamales? Home made? Wrapped and steamed in corn husks? drool drool
Home made Tamales at the Red Coyote in Virgin Utah. They are awesome, first time I had eaten tamales since the canned ones mother used to serve when we were kids. I hated those things.
I have very vivid memories of those awful canned tomales, wrapped in paper that closely resembled the used version. Ugh, ugh, ugh.....
I did quite a bit of traveling as well. I had fun with ya guys getting drunk. Maybe everyone will be able to go camping next time? :)
I was very glad that I got to see you both and share in Josiah's first birthday. It sounds like you are having tons of fun, good for you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
