Visiting Family, Dec 13, 2008

We left Gold Canyon and drove all of about 40 miles to an RV park in Coolidge. In the afternoon we drove a short distance to visit my niece, Joellen, her husband Mike, and kids, Matt and Sam. The photo above is of one of their newer pets. Mike currently active duty Air Force, does exotic animal rescue in his spare time. This was one of his rescues that he adopted. It is a Sulcata http://www.reptilechannel.com/reptile-species/turtles-and-tortoises-profiles/african-spurred-tortoise-2.aspxTortoise, according to Jo he weighs about 65 pounds, and will get up to over 200 lbs. Pretty amazing!!

We spent the evening visiting getting caught up on the last two years of activities. Enjoyed hearing about Jo's new job of a year now, and to find out she has a promotion coming up in Feb. to a 'Corrections Officer' at a nearby prison. Great job Jo! For dinner Mike fixed his famous hamburgers--even some jalapeno ones for Bob. Thought the above family photo was unique, check out the mirror!

In this special moment in life...Rediscover old friends
