Not Getting Any............Younger!!!

Well, here it is 2015-----probably a heck of a lot happened since my last post but you know how us old farts don't remember much.  Like I should have posted up here at least 5 or 6 times, but guess what----it didn't happen!!  We still have the five dogs surviving in our back yard here on Mary Drive in Tucson. They depend a lot on me because the grandkids only want to play with them and not have to take care of them. My long time friend, Betty Gilbert got to where she couldn't drive anymore and had a problem living alone so she finally got to move into a care center out in Ice House Canyon in the Globe, AZ area.  They take her social security check and in return give her food, housing and medical care.  I talk to her about once a week on the telephone.  She has TV but can only watch what the staff allows and the sound is turned down real low so as to not bother other people in the area.  So she can only view and not hear the programs.

I am still a diehard Phoenix Suns Basketball fan and again hoping that they will get in the playoffs this year.  They failed last year.

During the late summer last year (or early fall) my niece April got married and we were able to attend a big reception at a nice park up in the Phoenix area.  A lot of the family were there so it was a nice "get together".

I am probably not remembering something else important that has happened but I have an excuse.....I am getting old!! Love to all and God Bless from Virgil (gino) Baker aka "The Can Man"
