Happy Birthday Princess Hailey

Ajo, AZ

Wow, it's hard to believe my Princess is 9 yrs old today. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were at the hospital on a cold winter day and it was spitting snow when our bundle of joy came into this world. Happy Birthday Princess Hailey. Grammy and Papa love you very much!

The sun is out and it’s looking to be a beautiful day.  Long sleeves are still required.  I took the dogs for our daily walk and later in the afternoon we headed to the Museum.

the old railroad car used to hall the copper out.

the volunteer working was Louie Walters!  Yes, we met another Walters, 2 Walters men.  He was wonderful and gave us so much history and we plan to go back and learn even more about the little mining town of Ajo which means garlic.  The Indians pronounced it Ah Ho

we came home and then it was time to start dinner.  I fried some pork chops and made mac and cheese for dinner.  Then we got ready and went to a Jam session.  Our friend Michael invited us.
