What's old is new again!

The "Old" MC D"s AND The "New" Mc D's

It did not seem that long ago that McDonald's came to Page, building just off the mesa. But, in no time, they built a brand new one next to WalMart (what a combination!) ON Highway 89, just off the South Access Road. In less than one week, the old building was completely torn down and hauled away. Just what do they do with all that used equipment and old arches?????

PHS Girls Basketball Team won their regional title and played their first round of the state playoffs here in Page on Friday afternoon. We played Douglas--they had to travel over 10 hours so we could beat them by almost 50 points!! Our Lady Devils are ready for the semi's on Wednesday in Glendale.

I am especially proud of two of the girls on the team-they are FRESHMEN that I teach and boy can they play ball! I have taught and currently teach most of the girls on the team. Go DEVILS!
We won't be making the trek to Glendale, as will most of the school. It just happens that the AIA planned the tournament on the same day we give our High Stakes State Test! (AIMS). Smart!
Is there NO communication at the Arizona Department of Education????

Jilly B's Tag

Jenny tagged me once, and I did not know what that meant. Thanks to Jill, I just now found out what that means, AND she tagged me! If you don't already know, I minored in Psychology in College and ended up taking MANY self-evaluation Psych tests and I scored right down the middle of all of them.

Happy Birthday Mr.G!!!!

Happy Birthday, Todd!!! He looks pretty good for an old guy of 51!!!! Living in Page, and not being able to go out of town lately, he did not get showered with lovely gifts from his "I don't plan too far in advance" wife. But, I got him a cute carrot cake and some candy bars with the promise of a new sound system next trip to St. George!!! He is a wonderful husband and I am so lucky!! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR.G!!!

We made a quick trip to Phoenix earlier in the week so I could see a Cardiologist and get nuked. Turns out, nothing is wrong with my heart--big relief. He can not figure out why my blood pressure is way up. So, I am waiting for results from another specialist who ran many tests. Meantime, I am having HORRIBLE side effects from all the meds. Thankfully, the Cardiologist is having me slowly get off them, and see what happens and I've had some relief the past couple of days--thanks in part to my little pink friends (Xanax)! Just pray this will be all over soon!!!

As most of you know, our Chapel is closed and undergoing a year long reconstruction. Since we drive by it to get home, we watch as it is slowly looking more and more ghetto as they strip, rebuild and reroof. Here are a couple of pictures of the back of the Chapel
