This is another spring trip to Florida. This trip will take us back to some of our favorite places and include some new stops destined to become favorites. It was one of our favorite trips. After a slight stutter at the beginning of this adventure we had a great trip. In February we sold our […]
We left Tucson on July 22, 2013, and took our time getting to Grand Junction, Co. to meet the newest addition to the family. William Paul Aieta, was born July 12, 2013 to be called Will, affectionately being called Willie P by grandpa. Monty’s daughter, Noel and husband, Paul are thrilled with this little guy […]
