I still meet with the drumming group once a month and we are planning a Winter Sostice Celebration for Dec. 20. It will include music, drumming, candles, a yule log!! It's my first winter in the mountains and I pester the veterens with childlike wonder - "will there be snow?" I ask excitedly. "Maybe" they say, with a knowing glance.

... possible maybe that it is rodent in nature. Too fast for me to be sure. Theres lots of noises in the leaves, birds mostly. Lots of birds and I heard a woodpecker with his distinctive tat-tat-tatting. I could see him with the binocs but it was too far for a picture.

... groups, a lot are like me, loners. One group I passed were practically marching and talking the whole way. I heard them long before I saw them.

... working at a title company thru the temp agency and it's a decent job. Didn't like it at first, but now it's working out OK. I hope it lasts. I'm determined to make it here.

I still get up and walk a couple of miles in the morning. Sometimes Freddy waits until I do a power walk and then I take him out long enough to take care of business. He's a warm weather puppy and I ...

... We were hungry and went back to the room with a pizza. After a while we went back out to pan. This time we went to the place the sheriff told us about. It was down a road that was a dirt mountain grade. Sure am glad I got 4 wheel drive. As we drove down you start thinking, "We're the only one's here", "did you hear a banjo!"

The village grew in size over the period of time it was occupied to a time during the 1200's when as many as 250 people would live here, farming and hunting along the Verde river valley. Then suddenly about 1400 A.D. it was abandoned. No one can be sure why the entire Verde River area was suddenly ...

... uncomfortable. It took about 10 mins, but Ben finally got through the whole thing and we pulled it off. Yipeeeeeee!!! Later we went for b'fast and I ate so much I nearly puked. Then we spent the day walking around town looking at shops, eating chocolate and having a drink. It was lovely and sunny and nice not to have an agenda. After eating our packet pasta for dinner and sitting outside with a beer or two we ...

... would have been in his element and Dad would have understood all the electric stuff much more than me. A wee funny incident happened in the gents loo during the tour of the dam. Mr W was happily doing what you do turned to flush the loo away it all went along with a pair of Oakley sunglasses that fell off his head!!!
