The Navs and Grissoms Reunite!

Dad came out for a Phoenix visit in June and together with Uncle Joe, we drove to Warner Springs to visit Aunt Terry and Uncle Gary. Aunt Judy met us there too, all the way from Alabama! We enjoyed their back deck with the beautiful views, fished in the pond across from their house, and took a walk around their neighborhood. The food was the BEST! Roast beef, lasagna, corn fritters, pie from Julian's and See's candy!
















The Meteor Crater!

This summer Darius and I roadtripped to the Meteor Crater which is between Flagstaff and Winslow, AZ. The crater is as tall as the Washington Monument and you can fit 20 football fields on the floor of the crater! Here are the details if you are interested! http://www.meteorcrater.com/eventsfun/exptheimp.htm













Island Heights, NJ--Joe and Jocilyn's Wedding!

Cousin Joe and Jocilyn got married on September 26th! I am so glad that I was able to fly back east for their wedding AND see family that I hadn't seen in years! I definitely need to make an effort to visit more often!

Autumn in Boston!

I know, I know. It's been way too long. I've finally awaken from the grave and here I am now. I was lucky enough to fly to Boston on a Southwest Buddy pass from my Uncle Joe for the 2nd week of my much needed October break. It has been so nice to catch up with my faraway friends and family!

First a visit with the Tehrany's for a Columbus Day breakfast. I met Kathleen's three nieces Raven, Ruby and Bella.



Mr. Tehrany is helping Bella, Ruby enjoys her bagel and Maria is in on a conversation.

Erin, Kevin and Margaret came over for Taco Night this week! We turned the heater on in the porch, turned on the lights, and stuffed our faces! Pecan Pie and Apple Pie for dessert!



The day was cool and crisp but it was warm in the sun. Dad cuts the grass.
