Model Train Display

We went on a tour of a model train display that is in the back yard of a man's house in Mesa. The trains all move throughout the yard on a maze of tracks. There were about 7 or 8 different trains going at the same time, through tunnels over bridges and mountains. Everthing is computerized, when two trains are meeting each other, one stops and lets the other by and then the track switches and the other train continues on. It was pretty amazing.

Prescott Arizona
We took a bus trip to Prescott with two other couples. It is a very nice town, famous for their Christmas lights and street called Whisky Row. A good time was had by all.

I have tried my hand at jewelry making. It is fun and a great way to spend the day. (not that I need more hobbies!)

Scorpion Alert!!!
This scorpion was crawling on Dave's leg when he was reading his book one day. YIKES! It did not bite him and was squashed with the book shortly after this picture.

The hummingbirds followed us south.
We have the same two birds hanging around every day. One flies around one side of the tree and kind of sneaks up to the feeder and the other one comes and bomb dives the one that is drinking. They are not even scared of us. They have landed when we are standing a foot from the feeder.
