The beginning of a New Year. Our friend Wayne and Reita have left Mesa Spirit and are heading out to greener pastures. We sure will miss them but we will make sure to visit them in Kelowna, B.C. in April on our way to visit the girls. Wishing them all the best on their new adventures. The dogs will miss litlle Furby. Doggy park will never be the same without the BOSS.Most of January is almost over and we still haven't had time to go golfing. Where does the time go. We have started playing Bocce again. Lorraine and Bill our friends from Alberta are our new partners this year and so far we have done pretty good. We lost our candyman this year. He passed away in July 2010. My friend Jack who is 94 this year will not be returning to Mesa Spirit next year. He and Doris decided that it was time to call it quits after 35 years of coming down from B.C. He sure will be missed at Bocce. Good luck Jack and Doris. Punch goes to his woodcarving classes on Thursdays and play Texas Hold Them with some friends on Friday nights. It keeps him busy and during this time me and the doggy girls spend our time catching up with this blog. It sure is a lot of work especially when you have a whole year to catch up on. I will try to be better this year at it. Punch sure isn't having the best of times. His back sure gives him a lot of problems still. Hope he get to feeling better soon.
Well Christmas is coming upon us once again. November sure flew by fast. We were busy socializing with our new and old friends. We have met so many nice people this year especially at the doggy park. We have a potluck supper just for the dog owners, but every week more people show up that don't own a dog just to meet and greet new people. It's a lot of fun.
We are also busy with eight weeks of dog training we have enrolled ourselves in. I'm not to sure if it will help the dogs but it seems to be helping us. Since we were in Arizona later this year we got to see quite a few X-mas light displays. They were really nice only the snow was missing.
We flew to Alliston for Christmas to spend it with Denis and his family. The first week we managed to go down to Sudbury and visit the family. We stayed at Rock's and Nicole. They really treat us well. We also got to see Marie and Len's new home in Espanola since they had cooked a nice turkey supper for us. We aslo met up with Larry and Gisele for supper in Chelmsford. It was really nice to see them again. To bad Guy and Pauline couldn't join us. Maybe next time. I also didn't have time to see my dear friends Lise, Carolle, Carmen and Claire but hope their holidays were good ones.
We had a very nice Christmas but it was really sad to have to be away from the Gagnon and the Fournier family during this time of the year. But you know what, we got to chat on Skype and we managed to get through it with only a few tears. We had a lot of fun with Owen. Never a dull moment with him around. What a joy.
Well time came again for us to say our goodbyes till May. It was sad to go but it was also time for all of us to get back to our routine. 
Our plane ride went well and we arrived home just in time to ring in the New Year 2011. 
HAPPY 2011 NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE. HOPE IT IS FILLED WITH A LOT OF HAPPINESS AND GOOD FORTUNE.
