Memories from November

Months ago I took advantage of a "Social Living" deal and purchased half-price tickets to see the Boston Pops Concert at Hohokam Stadium on my birthday!  Vince was agreeable because it was MY birthday! ;-)  In the meantime, Mom and Dad decided they wanted to go as well, and surprised Terry and Ken with tickets for their October birthdays.  Coincidentally, our seats ended up in the same section! We met at Serrano's Mexican Food for a late lunch, and then piled into Mom and Dad's van for the short ride to the stadium.

 The weather had been rainy and colder a few days prior, and there was still a chance of rain on the 16th.  However, the skies cleared, and the full moon rose, and the evening was absolutely perfect!  Jen and Nick also purchased tickets, but were seated in a different section.

 We sat right behind the first baseline dugout, and the music was absolutely spectacular!  A wonderful variety of tunes from George Gershwin to Rhapsody in Blue to Abba's Dancing Queen to a patriotic sing-along, and finally the 1812 Overture, complete with cannons!  The crowd's standing ovation resulted in a favorite Sousa march. The show ended with an extensive fireworks display!

With our house on the market, the weekends have been challenging, trying to keep the house neat as a pin, and ready to show.  Sundays are usually the only day we can see our family, so one weekend we met at NYPD for pizza night.  Service was a tad slow, but the grandchildren were very good waiting for their pasta!

 Jen was able to join us; Nick had his bowling league that night.

 We missed seeing Alissa and Alan on this particular evening.

And, last but not least, here are more "new house" updated photos from Thanksgiving weekend. (Thanksgiving will be a different blog post!) Our flooring and granite countertop in the kitchen are installed~love the way it is coming together!!
