November 11th marked our first anniversary together. Anthony and I have had a wonderful year getting to know one another on a few dinner dates, then going on vacations together, and spending our weekends together, the time has blossomed into a loving relationship. We look forward to many more anniversaries to come.
For our special day, my honey greeted me in the morning with roses and a poem he wrote for me. Then we drove into town and caught a romantic “Wine Tour” Jeep ride with A Day in the West. Our guide was a proud veteran who liked to be called an Indian rather than a Native American. Along with us were two other couples who were also there to enjoy the tour. Our first stop was the Page Springs winery where we tasted a few selections. The fall colors added to our afternoon as we spent our time together. Next stop was the Rattlesnake Trail as our guide took us into the National Forest along some beautiful wilderness. We heard some amazing stories and enjoyed the fresh air as Anthony and I shared our special day
together.
For that evening, Anthony took me to the Asylum in Jerome, Arizona. This historic building sits way up above the Verde Valley, and was once a hospital, then converted to a fancy hotel and fine dinning restaurant. Our night was made extra special by being seated
at the best table for two, along the window with an amazing view. Anthony then presented me with a beautiful journey pendant and necklace. The night out was as special part of our anniversary.
Anthony and I look forward to many more beautiful years together. One thing is for certain right now; I have found my best friend, life partner, lover all wrapped into one.








































Last week Anthony and I visited the “Out of Africa” wild animal park in Camp Verde, Arizona. We had a nice sunny day all to ourselves, and the temperature was surprisingly warm, considering that the week before we had snow.

We had a fun gift exchange, and all surprised with the popularity of the sex manual book. It was stolen twice, out of the other wrapped gifts to choose from. Anthony and I were happy with our new Martini kit though. We ended the night at a local German bar were we danced to a live band.



A lot of people have decided to be more fit this year. So Anthony and I have not only committed to more exercise, but we have been eating healthier. Most work weeks we eat a fresh salad, onions, tomatoes, olive oil with balsamic vinegar; as another portion we will eat some protein like a steak. This way we get balance. We of course like fruit as a snack or for breakfast.
I love my cat Mona very much. I remember the day I adopted her, she was so skinny and abandoned. I just knew that I had some good to offer this cat, so I brought her home to be cared for. Over the years, she has matured into a healthy queen of the house. I have used ColorPucture on her to calm her and open pathways. She is a very healthy pet; and member of my family. She meows early each morning to let me know it is time for her canned cat food. And then baths in the sun when I open the blinds for her. She likes the treat. This spoiled cat enjoys the balance, somewhat. I love my cat very much. She is very special to me and a part of my plan. Visit “

Downtown Las Vegas, or Freemont Street. The laser light show was awesome and we enjoyed the outdoor festivities on a winter’s night. We scored some jumbo margaritas in big flashing mugs. Everybody in the casios, as we walked around, kept saying how neat our drinks were.
Our biggest thrill was when we won $1 million dollars. We have the picture to prove it. Just kidding! We didn’t really win anything; but got our picture taken will the casinos $1 million dollar stack of cash. I guess better luck next time.
