What a great night of spending time with family and eating, we could not have the normal reunion in Nutrioso this year because of the Wallow Fire so the next best thing. Meeting and Mickey and Sylvia's in Safford and eating and visiting. What a great time and lots more than we normally get to a reunion.

Wallow fire

The Wallow Fire that started the Memorial Day, got totally out of control and became the largest wildfire in Arizona History. It came within a quarter of a mile of our place in Nutrioso and forced many people to leave their homes in Alpine, Luna and Nutrioso. Thank goodness for the blessings of our Heavenly Father that our place was spared.

Owls

Got to see a couple of owls in our yard hanging out for a while on the lightpole. What a cool sight

Grandkids

We got to spend a few hours with Kathryn, Anthony and Serenity. Went out to lunch and shopping, What a great time.

Wallow Fire

These are some images of the Wallow Fire that has affected Nutrioso and Alpine. It got a little to close to our property for our liking but at least everything is safe. There is some signs of new life in the making saw some eggs ready to hatch and lots of elk in Alpine. Still signs of smoke on the mountains and helicopters getting water out of Luna Lake. Thank you firefighters for all your efforts.

Wow, what a great time Donald, Michelle, and Debbi cruised to the Mexican Rivera. It was relaxing and restful and we saw a lot of beautiful country but also poor country. The bad villages in Mexico were very poor, but the people were so friendly and happy. It was hard to come back and get back to reality.

Wanting to ride

We are waiting for someone to take us on a ride, We wait and wait, umtil someone comes and takes us. We love to ride. Foxie and Lucky are great mountain dogs, Even in wind. Someone will come and take us if we wait long enough.

Fishing

May 14, 2011 at Nutrioso, we went fishing at Nelson Reservoir and Donald caught 2 fish and I caught 3, he pulled out the top fish first and I thought that was big, but then about 2o minutes later I caught the huge bottom one, weighed about 2 and half pound and about 18 inches long, WOW. It was a good day at fishing.

Aiden's Dedication

May 7, 2011 Aiden Christopher Winkler was dedicated by his parents at the Crossroads Church of the Nazarene. He is such a good baby and so cute, gotta love him.

I love my backyard when it is all dragged and clean. Thanks quad and drag for making it look so nice and free of weeds. I finally got a patch of grass in my backyard. Thanks to Michelle that had leftovers when she finished her backyard, but then of course I wanted more so had to have Donald go and buy more grass.

Aiden Christopher Winkler
