Early Birthday Present

As an early birthday present, Jon gave me a Pandora Italian Charm bracelet. It has pink and green and black charms. Charms from my prince charming :)

The Queen Creek Olive Mill

Who knew that Queen Creek has and olive mill?!!

We spent one Sunday after church touring a working olive mill in our new town of Queen Creek. We learned all about growing, harvesting, eating, and making olive products…we even brought home some fresh olive oil :) Yummmy! 

Mike Rowe From DIRTY JOBS did a show at the QC Olive Mill!

Jon’s New Friend

For those of you who know Jon, you know that he is extremely outgoing and it seems easy for him to make new friends. This is a gentleman that Jon be-friended on our train trip. This old man was making a video documentary of the train station and Jon found him to be a fascinating character.

Verde Canyon Railroad

On Friday we went up to Cottonwood AZ where we spent the night and prepared ourselves to embark on our journey thru the Verde Canyon the next morning. Before the 4 hour historical train ride we went and visited some old Indian ruins and took a scenic drive thru Jerome (an old, old town built on the side of the mountain).

The train was a GREAT experience and one that we have been meaning to do for a while,   as mom gave us the tickets last Christmas. 

Toasting to our trip!
