	Pretty much every day we have been here has been sunny and warm (like low to mid 70's). Annie has been running out of summer weight clothes so we have had to do some shopping. Bummer... 8-)
	Ellen and George are going to be building a new home! Well, OK, they are having it built, but the site is chosen and the slab, seen here, has been poured! They claim this will be their last move...
	Here we are all spiffed up for Christmas Eve dinner at Rex Ranch just south of Amado, AZ. Picturted left to right: Levi & Annie Nilsson, Fran & Russ Wooden, Ellen & George West.
	My girls at Rex Ranch: Fran (Grandma), Annie (my lovely wife) and Ellen (my Mom).

	ASARCO Mission Mine open pit copper mine 15 miles south of Tuscon, AZ. We took a bus tour and walked through one of the currently non-operational processing facilities.
	They use BIG tires at the Mission Mine. This tire, with a value of over $20,000, is from OLDER dump trucks that the mine no longer uses. The NEW trucks are 1.5 million dollar behemoths standing more than 30 feet tall at the cab! (nice shot Annie)
