My 75th Birthday

May 7, 2012
 My younger sister Julie Marchant came to visit for my 75th  birthday.We had a great time. We celebrated both my husband and my birthdays.

We had an Ambrosia cake which my niece Claudia Thelin had made for us. It was delicious with Ice Cream.Some of the grandkids and family came to celebrate with us. There were about 25 present. Several small gifts were appreciated from our family. Dozen red roses from my daughter for Mothers Day.

    The day before my birthday our fridge freezer went out. So we were off shopping for a new fridge freezer combo. We found the best deal at Spencers store. It was getting dinnertime so we decided to stop at the Organ Stop Pizza, for some great Organ melodies and great Pizza and Root Beer.

Superstition Mountains where the Gold is hidden

The next day Ron, Julie and I went to Mining Camp about 30 minutes from our home. We had all you can eat Barbequed Spare ribs, chicken and Ham Potatoes, Green beans, roll, milk or lemonade to drink.

The four MacNasty Brothers entertained us for 1 1/2 hours after we ate dinner. They were hilarious and very musical on their banjo, mandelin, and mandacello and quitars. Terrific clean jokes were told, we laughed so hard. They gave me a Oatmeal cookie piled high with whip cream with a candle in it .This was wonderful music and entertainment for all of us.

     It wasn't dark yet, so we toured the desert scenery taking photos of each other in front of various cacti. A big thunderstorm was approaching. So we hurried home before we got drenced.

       We celebrated no more Cancer, by a quick trip to Payson, Arizona. Stayed for two night at The Days Inn Motel. I enjoyed the big beautiful pool to swim in. We relaxed a lot.We had a hard time trying to eat vegetarian meals in the restaurants. Salads or soup without any potatoes, pasta, or meat or fish of any kind. So we went to the Safeway store and found some delicious soup and fruit bowls. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the highway. Ron was chased by a big brown spider when he got up to the bathroom in the night. That was pretty scary.
          When it poured down rain the big water beetles came out and were everywhere on the sidewalk. On the way home we stopped at the town of Fountain Hills, where we saw the worlds tallest Fountain. Ron got really dizzy and found it was altitude sickness.
