I know that must make sense - right?
On Monday, February 28th, Phyllis and I left little ole Spokane for Phoenix to visit Wes and Betty. They picked us up at the airport and away we went to their home in Scottsdale. What a great beginning - Steaks grilled to perfection with all the trimmings. Wes "made" the greatest dip - OK, he bought it at Costco, a must buy - ROASTED RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE SAUSE! Add cubed cream cheese and dip in chips, sliced meat, crackers or anything else you might like. - WONDERFUL STUFF.
Tuesday we drove around to see the lay of the land and then to a really neat restaurant for Mexican food including a salad (iceburg wedge lettuce with choice of dressing - verrryyyyy good). Of course we had to go for something sweet so we went to a retro "Sweet Shop" with everything that would take us back to our teen years.
Wednesday was a day of visiting, AGAIN, and then my son, Dane (who also lives in Scottsdale) came and whisked me away to have dinner with him and my d-i-l, Lori. First we went to their new home - I hadn't seen it before except in pictures - and then off for Italian food. Dane is still very involved in tennis - when not working - and loves Phoenix. I don't get to see him as often as I would like. Anyway, after that short, but sweet visit, he took me back to Wes and Betty's and they came in for a bit. Very very nice.
Thursday Wes and Betty took us out of town to Carefree and surrounding areas. HAD to shop, of course. That night we went to the Casino Arizona for "Show Stoppers", a live show with singers and dancers giving their rendition of famous singers, etc.
Friday was a lay-back day. I wish we had a penny for every time we laughed. Would have paid for this trip and a future one. What fun and super nice people, these Tigers. Sadly, about noon, we had to pack up our bags and head out to the airport. Nice flight - only one problem. Arriving in Spokane, there was still lots of snow to snub its nose at us.
Saturday, Phyl and I just relived the whole trip and then went shopping. Just what we do. When we're sad - shop! When we're happy - shop!
Let me know what is going on in your Tiger den and I will be happy to spread the news.
