The heat is on!

Well it's that time of year
where everyone is
"whining"
about the heat!
We have reached
way over 100 degrees
for awhile now and probably
still have 2 months to go!
Like I said before
we look forward
to Halloween now!
For those of you that shovel snow
these are our "hibernation" months.
The difference is we
don't
have to shovel that snow.
Instead we get
third degree burns
when we get into our cars.

July
has been a long
and hot month
but I was blessed
to celebrate another birthday
with family and friends.
Thank you for the many cards, gift cards,
calls, emails, facebook messages
and lunch/dinner dates.
I felt your love
and thank you for
being a part of my life.

The latest news at the
Coffey Grounds
is in September
Ashley
is moving back home
Woo-Hoo!
She is graduating from
ASU in December
and then will hopefully
do an internship somewhere in the US
January thru May.
Her major is Non-Profit management.
Go Ashley we are so proud of you.

Andrea and Chris'
just returned from Iowa
where they went to visit
Chris's grandparents.
They had a wonderful and meaningful
experience. There is nothing like having grandparents.
They are both keeping very busy at work.


Hershey and Bear are so thankful
we're home for the summer.
They get to stay inside
since the heat is so bad!
They continue to love on everyone.
Oh the life of a dog!

Well the Coffey Grounds
hopes you are having a great summer.
Tell us about what's going on in your life!
Hugs

Road Trip!

Unexpected trips are the best!
We were invited to help surprise Glenn Leadley's 50th birthday party in Coronado Island. So off we went for just a three day trip. Well, everyone kept writing on FB how terribly "HOT" it was in AZ. that we just kept driving up the coast. After leaving the Island and having a blast staying with the Palich family at a beach house they rented. We enjoyed a fabulous 5oth Hee~ Haw party that was much of a surprise to Glenn. He enjoyed the kick stomping time with friends and family.

Our coast drive started on Sunday morning to Carlsbad where we enjoyed shopping, eating, a movie, eating somehow some more and a great night stay on the beach (of course in a hotel).

Day 4 we headed up the coast to San Clemente to say hi to the Peeps that I've met and before we knew it time just flew and it was 5:00 with no reservations to stay the night ANYWHERE! A first for me! The local peeps mentioned a hotel in San Clemente that was a great place to stay so I called and woo-hoo they had a vacancy!

Diana checked us in and somehow was able to get all these Up~ grades for the same price they quoted me earlier. They put us up in a suite and wow we couldn't pass up that room and rate that our 3 day trip ended up being 6! We are both so blessed to have such great understanding guys we're married too! Or I know you're probably saying did they have a choice? LOL

God is so good to have blessed us with a safe trip, lots of laughter with friends, great food, and especially enjoying the beauty He created all around us.

Here are some pictures of our trip.
Enjoy ;)
