Tucson - Last 2 weeks in January

The 2nd half of January starts out with a couple days of heavy rain.  The wash actually has running water

And a small waterfall

Daily trips to the VA to visit Gary in Rehab.  Fortunately only ran into the train once.

Finally gets the big bandage off.  Quite the scar

 

 

Then it turns cold.  

Snow up on the Mountain.

 and Frost on the car

 

 

Left to my own devices, I continue to paint everything in sight

Spring another leak.

Scar is looking better and he is coming home!

He is able to do a stroll on the bike path!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tucson - 2nd week in January

We head into Tucson early for Gary's knee replacement surgery

Surgery was a success, though there were some issues so they are keeping him 2 nights in hospital on a monitor before sending him to rehab for 2 weeks

Tucson and I kill time walking along the wash and see the resident hummingbird

Keep myself busy when not visiting the hospital with long put off crafts.

 

Got rainy and I ran out of rocks so just painted on the other side.

Nice "Cotton Candy" Sunsets

 

 

 

 

 

Tucson - 1st week of January

Week starts with a beautiful sunrise.

 

We had a leak somewhere with water coming out from under the kitchen sink.

 

The Hummingbirds are out.

 

 For my birthday Gary was going to take me out for a nice dinner but it was closed on Mondays so I get my raincheck dinner at Kingfisher

We originally planned on an early dinner, late lunch at 3:00 but the online reservation system showed no tables available from 3:00 to 4:30, so I booked 2:30.   Got there and diningnroom was empty.  We were told it was Happy Hour from 3-4:30 and food only available at the Bar.  We explained it was a special occasion so we were seated in dining area.

 

I had Hawaiian Fish in Macadamia crust, Gary had the Tuna special.

 

A  birthday dessert

 

And some spectacular sunsets

 

Make it to our favorite breakfast spot, Jerry Bobs by the airport

And I organize my closet

 Gary gets his knee replacement next week!
