TEMPE LAKE, DECOR TEAM

We finally took the time to drive over to Tempe Lake in Tempe. One of our co-workers said they kayak on  Tempe Lake, wanted to go see if we would want to take our kayak out.



It is  a nice lake, especially in the middle of a large city and pretty remarkable that it is right in the middle of a desert! We were surprised it was so large, we thought it was just a small lake.


It was a nice warm day and we enjoyed walking around, afterwards we had lunch for the first time at Cane's  Chicken. This is our new favorite chicken place!

We ordered Smart Tile off the Internet to put around the fireplace


Darrell did a beautiful job!


We are very happy with the results!


We were very busy at work. Trucks were bringing back all the Christmas and New Year's decorations back from all the resorts.


Oh..........where to put it all!!!



Every morning we have a meeting and  Mikki goes over what needs to be done for the day.....she always starts the day out with a hug for each of us!




We were  working  with a group of awesome folks!  



Mikki told us about the middle of January that she had hired "our friends" John and Kerry to work next year......we were so happy!!!! 
We saw a job on  Workamper.com in Oregon working for the Corps of Engineers that we were interested in bidding on. I started the process of  getting a DUNS number and after that registered with SAMS, the government bidding program. It took a lot of work and time, but finally, we got it all done and sent in  our bid. Unfortunately, we didn't get the bid, we were disappointed, but in the future we are all set up to bid other jobs, if we choose.
Sherry finally got her new fifth wheel to Florence and we wanted to go check it out.  We invited Jim and Gayle to go along, they are friends of Sherry's, who live just down from us. Sherry met us at LB's, a mexican restaurant in Florence.


Yummy food, good friends,  and mango  margaritas!  Life is Good!!


We loved Sherry's new place!!



When we were in Washington state this past summer, we were watching  Diners, Drive-ins  and Dives and a restaurant in  Gilbert was featured. Gilbert is not too far from us.  I wrote it down and one day we went to check it out.


Joe's Farm Grill


When we stepped in the door, there was quite a line!


We placed our order and found a table, this is a busy place!



Darrell had a cheeseburger and onion rings. He said it was very good! 


I had the grilled wedge salad.....lightly grilled iceburg lettuce with chunky blue cheese dressing....to die for!


As we were leaving, we noticed this sign.........


It says "DO NOT CLIMB ON TREES......RISK OF FALLING & SCORPION STINGS! OUCH!!

In February, Tammy from Decor,  called to say she had free tickets for us to the Osmond Brothers show. We were tickled, the first show we've attended this year. It was fabulous!





Later on in the month I joined Grace Methodist Church, after attending two membership meetings. I  am  a Methodist!


I love this church, so happy to have a church family!
