We're Back from Arizona!

Hey, all!

I realize my posts are few and far between, but time just flies by!  Not an excuse, just a fact.

Golfer and I just returned from a vacation in Arizona with his brother, L, and his wife, V.  We met up in Phoenix and stayed at a beautiful home we rented for the week.  The Cleveland Indians' Spring training camp is located there and that was the main purpose of the trip.  The Goodyear stadium is very nice and we had a great time seeing three games!  The weather did not start out too great though, and we nearly froze our fingers off at first, but it got better as the week progressed and by the end of the week we were sitting out in the sun in shirtsleeves saying how hot it was.




Golfer and L played a couple rounds of golf while there and had a good time.  We all took a lovely drive up the South Mountain Park scenic drive.  The view from the summit is fantastic!  And would have been even better if it hadn't been drizzly that day!

The house was fully furnished and equipped and even had a putting green! 

I really enjoyed the open spaces, peace and quiet and the huge sky full of stars at night.  Reminded me of when Golfer and I lived in Colorado.  We saw a couple coyotes and several hummingbirds, but did not see any of the snakes or bears we had been warned about.

We had a nice visit with some Air Force friends who live in Phoenix and it was great to see them.

This picture is of some of the landscaping at the house.  You can see some more in the previous picture behind the putting green.

So, we're back home now.  Everything was covered in yellow pollen.  The grass was tall and Golfer got it mowed before the rain started.  I've been doing the laundry and catching up on things around the house.  Our furry kids are happy to have things back to normal.  Although they do like the young lady who takes care of them when we are away.  (I think she spoils them a little)  :)

That's all for now.  Take care and stay safe!
