Ice in the desert

Phoenix has broken the record of cold, set in 1990! Our Bouganvillia are all black --I didn't heed the freeze warning on Saturday night - so they got frozen - -although nothing else did.
Last night, in preparation -we put lights in the citrus trees and some sheets over plants - and Ralph turned on the watering system to "low" - - It was too late for the Bouganvillia :) and this morning they are even MORE black and sad looking -
We woke up this morning to news of ice on the streets and many accidents.
The poor "Runners" , in town for the big Marathon -and from places North - must be very disappointed. Surely they were all hoping for nice warm weather. It just goes to show -- NOTHING is for sure - either here in Arizona or anywhere. :)
I'm now thinking of all the members of our family who had to be on the roads this morning -
Today is Martin Luther King day --so possibly some have a holiday off - and are snug in their homes - - I hope so!

A Movie - -

Grandpa and me saw the movie today -- - "THe Pursuit of Happyness" -- -with Will Smith and his son - -- great movie!
We went to the new Cinemark -- at the 202 and Dobson - the only business yet completed at the huge new complex. It's going to be quite the area for shoppers!

January - 2007!

Looks like everyone is very busy - - and noone is "guessing" who the ornaments were given by that decorate our tree. -- so - wE'll just move on in to 2007. I have a slide show (CD ) of LOTS , if not all -- of our ornaments - some as old as about 48 years. :)
We have had a wonderful Christmas Season.
Only today have we finished taking down the decorations. (Lot's of dust under those greens! :)
Since I last posted here, we have seen a moving Ultra sound of Sophia Ulm - - and had a fun announcement on Christmas day by Jonathan Kellso, of yet another baby to join our family in this year of 2007! Sophia looked wonderful and healthy - -so that and news of yet another wee one joining the Kellso family are indeed great for starting the New Year.
In case anyone is counting - that will make NINE GREAT-grandchildren for Grandma and Grandpa Judge.!
The newlyweds of the family- David and Jenna, made it home from Chicago for a week --- it was great to see them !
We also got to see an Intown Wrestling Competition in which Michael did very well. GO MIKE!
Love to you all!
Grandma Judge
