BENSON, ARIZONA

We went to Holy Trinity Monastery in Benson yesterday for mass.  It's an interesting place with peacocks running around and a store that sells pecans and honey. Check out the link if you'd like:  Holy Trinity Information

We went to the store to buy some of their local honey and met a very interesting 82 year old lady that worked and lived at the RV park there.  She is Mrs. Thelma Meyers, yes, the same Mrs. Meyers natural cleaning products.  She was a real pistol, not to mention probably a millionaire, if you'd like to read her story, please click on the link:  Mrs. Thelma Meyers Story.  She was trying to recruit us to help clean pecans, which she does every year with the help of volunteers, mostly snowbirds.

This week in Benson has been too cold for us.  Every night the heat is pumping because the temps drop down into the 20's.  During the day if the sun comes out the temps warm up into the 50's but I still find that too chilly.  Tomorrow we'll head to warmer weather and I'll be happy to shed my fleece and sweats.

Enjoyed decorating our new home

Merry Christmas
Thanks for stopping in to say hi ya'll.
