A WEEK WITH SUE AND DONNA MAE

A  week ago Friday Joe dropped me off at Sky Harbour Terminal 4

He and Gwendolyn parked the truck at the Cell Phone parking lot

Joe had borrowed Ken's cell phone so we could communicate when the plane arrived

I found my way up to the gate and checked out the flight display screen

Detroit to Phoenix

Delay of one hour

I called Joe to let him know he would be sitting for awhile in the truck

He had his Kindle so he was set

and 

Gwendolyn would sleep so she was set

Dianne had her Kindle so she was set

I grabbed a coffee and opened my book to read the Aviator's Wife

BATTERY DEAD

No problem

I would  'people watch'

and

That I did

The plane arrived 

Two of the first passengers to come through the gate were a couple from Sarnia!!!!!

Chris just happened to be Beau and Zoe's babysitter

Her husband Bruce and I worked for the same school board

SMALL WORLD

Soon Donna Mae and Sue were in sight

Big smiles and hugs greeted me!!

HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR WEEK

Tuesday evening we had dinner with Stephanie Rod and Zoe

You can see a photo of Donna Mae and Zoe way back when she and Mike visited Arizona

Two years ago the girls were here and celebrated Beau's 17th birthday

While Zoe was at lacrosse practice dinner was

 prepared by this group!!!!!!

Note the bandage on Joe's cheek

(More on that later)

Tortilla Flats for lunch

A most popular spot for visitors 

The walls are plastered with dollar bills that people have written their names on

It is a spectacular drive to and from Tortilla Flats

Sun going down ............

Every day has been a fun loving day!

A game of cards

Bing attached herself to Sue

On her lap

Over her shoulder

Settled on her arm

Thursday evening

Organ Stop Pizza

The patrons were entertained by this gentleman who played the organ

My Mom and Dad would have loved this

THURSDAY DURING THE DAY

First stop

My Sister's Closet

Just for Sue..........

I believe Sue picked out 34 items to try on

Stephanie and Donna found some chairs to 'rest'

Then we moved to the change room area

Rejects

There's the store

Sue's favourite place

She did well!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next stop

Hallmark Store

Donna Mae's favourite store

Look at the stack of cards in her hand

Do you see the man sitting behind us?

He is from Nebraska

We've had lunch at Stephanie's favourite place

The Wildflower

We've all got tired feet

so

That means we are shopped out!

Friday  morning

Breakfast at Gold Canyon Golf Course

Joe spotted this dove sitting on a lamp post

A new piece of artwork sitting in the lobby

A little group picture of three friends

Our time is coming to an end

We have had the best time

We've shared lots and lots of laughs this week

A good time was had by all!!!!!

*****************************************

On another note.................

Joe..Dianne..Gwendolyn..Susie.. and Bing

are heading home to Ontario

We will be staying at the lake home of our niece Stephanie and husband Michael who live near St. Catherine's until the island opens  the beginning of April

We are also hoping to drive to British Columbia in the spring

Sometime over the last 70 years Joe stayed out in the sun too long resulting in a little problem on his right cheek (face)

This has to be dealt with in Canada rather than the US

SO............

We'll be in touch folks 

and 

You can travel along with us on our way back to Canada
