settling into the southwest...

 

The mall in Scottsdale...Miss Camille and Miss Charlotte Claire
These pizzas...homemade dough, baked on cast iron on a charcoal grill, then Aaron sizzled up the tops.
The mornings here are lovely.  Today it'll be sunny and 77, and the pool heater is on.  

Don't ever send Riley and I over to the store.  We were getting a loaf of nice bread for Camille to have her turkey sandwiches, when we walked by the cakes.  Those slices were half price, so we chose a red velvet and a carrot cake, not too bad to share between six people after dinner, right?  But then, oh dear, this cake had a price tag of $2, and then a 50% off sticker!  It actually rang up for one dollar, for a whole cake!  It was too funny when we came in from the store with it, but the big surprise was how good it really was after dinner...a marble cake with buttercream.

This fine morning, Paul went walking with Aaron and Lily, Banjo, and Pretzel, the pups.  I'm sitting here in a sunshine filled room, with my coffee.  I could get used to this weather...and having a pool right outside the door, ahhh.  At home, ours won't be used until at least the end of May.  :). Have a really nice day!

Sitting in the sunshine with coffee sounds delightful. It has rained here most of the night and day. Many areas and roads are flooded and closed and it is to turn cold enough that we may have snow flurries tomorrow night or Monday. OH, Mother Nature I truly need spring and summer with sunny days and warmer temperatures.

Hi Della!

It sounds perfectly lovely! Enjoy every second. I’m sure the girls are enjoying it too. Being together after Char was away for so long. The doggies are cute, aren’t they. I love dogs 🥰🥰🥰

Have a wonderful day Della 🥰
