Ronna's Blog: Trip to Arizona

Brandon and Tiffani flew us to Arizona on Apr 17. They picked us up at the airport and we went to Louyre's house to see all of the Phoenix gang. It was so good to see everyone. We stayed at Brandon and Tiff's house all week and worked on the Preparedness Fair that was to be on Apr 25. We coupon shopped all week. Tiffani has been getting huge amounts of food with her coupons and has been doing it really cheap. It's a cool thing, it just takes lots of time. We took pictures of her storeroom and it was amazing. The pictures I tooik at the beginning of the week only had part of the food. After shopping all week, but room was literally bulging at the seams, and we had to rearrange and restack lots of stuff. There is literally 90 days plus lots more of some things in the room. It was so amazing. On Friday night we had a brithday party for Wayne and my family came over for a cook out. We had a really good time. They all look so good. Kim's grandbabies are adoreable. The preparedness fair was awesome. The food turned out really good and there was over 75 people who attended. There were also some non members there that the missionaries handed out flyers to. Most of the food was gone when it was over and we talked so much we were all hoarse. Tiffani came home to a sign on her house, because it was her birthday that day. Her and Brandon are pretty anazing with all the kids. It is a really hard job to keep care of all of those kids. It just about wore me out. We had a fun week, and we will miss them. It was nice to get back home to our bed and our little kids here. I missed them. Thanks Brandon and Tiff for a fun (and exhausting week). I guess I should fill in a couple of other bits of news also. Dennie was in a buggy accident (yes buggy) that really broke him up and road rashed him bad. He spent one night in the hospital. He is home and okay, but Nellie said he is pretty sore and grouchy. Our Aunt Betty (Margie's sister and Gary's wife) died last week on Apr 21. She was 73 years old. Because of our flight home on Monday I wasn't able to attend the funeral. I felt bad a bout that. Nellie and Vance both talked. Margie told them that Betty never got over Gary dying, and I would believe that. She was buried by Gary in Taylor. Maybe now she will be at peace in her life.
