YESTERDAY AND TODAY IN ARIZONA

Arizona sunsets are breathtaking
Take a look!

YESTERDAY



This is the view from our back deck




Every few minutes or even less
the sky would change




Pinks and blues and oranges too


TODAY




Our daughter flew home today
having a direct flight with
WEST JET
from Phoenix to Vancouver

'The pugs in their crate'




Into Sky Harbour they go




The dogs going through security

Everything inside the crate was checked

Even the dogs had a
pat down

Once the dogs were cleared
they were put back in their crate
Jennifer wanted to give them a treat
but was not allowed
The dogs were confused with having a treat
almost given to them then
taken away
What a cruel trick


After we had lunch with Jen
we walked her to security
The ABC television newsmen
were at gate B
The 'broadcaster' approached us

Would I answer a few questions?

Sure I said

There were protesters at the airport
and he was wondering if
we were concerned about the
'pat down'
and
other issues about flying
on one of the busiest days of the year
that being the day before the
American Thanksgiving


Five o'clock news came along
and there I was on
ABC channel 15

A few words were taken from the interview

GOOD, VERY GOOD, VERY ORGANIZED

That was it!!!!!!!
Pretty funny!!!!!!!




When we left the airport there
were planes everywhere in the sky
One after the other.....
they were coming in to land




After picking up vegetables for our
Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow
we came home
poured a glass of wine
and enjoyed time on our new deck




The sun will be setting soon

This was a comforting place for me

I was feeling a bit blue
not easy saying goodbye
to children
when you know you will not see them
for months



The new steps are not quite finished




A view from the back

Many happy hours will be spent here on the back deck!!!!!

    Ditto for my gorgeous happy Gwennie ! It looks like she's enjoying the back deck as well. That picture of her on the other side of the gate is so funny !! I agree it is sad to see the kids leave. I think I'll grab me a glass of wine for you !! lol The sunset pictures are worthy of a tourist magazine or postcard !
