A little Rain??

It was said that it would rain a bit in AZ over the weekend.  Let me say that a "bit" doesn't fill up the pool!  I was sitting here editing some images when it just started pouring!  So, I grabbed my camera and went outside to find the Flood!

Standing water ... fun!

It's almost full!

Close-up of the edges... Usually you can see the tile

Overall shot... hey, what's that white stuff?

More puddles

Is that...?  NO!!!

AAh!!  It is!!!

IT'S SNOW!!!!

Who says it doesn't snow in Scottsdale!?!

Some time at the park

It's rained all day today, but yesterday was a beautiful day to be outside. Sunny, 70 degrees, and not a bit of wind... Perfect!! Allison and I took a walk in Cooper Commons, and ended up just hanging out for a bit at one of the many parks in the area.

As You Wish...

As You Wish is a pottery-painting place, as best as I can describe. It's where you go pick out something ceramic (like a frame, or a bowl, or a coffee mug, or even little ceramic animals) and paint it "as you wish." The company then does their fire magic, and it's ready to be picked up in a couple days. Last weekend, I went with Allison and Ingrid, who is a good friend of Allison's that was visiting her for a couple days. As far as the item I picked out to paint? A coaster. Nice and simple...

Grandpa & Grandma Come to AZ!

Welcome to Arizona, Grandpa and Grandma! Here are a couple of pictures from their first night in town. Mom made spaghetti and everyone had WAY too much. Dad is obviously full...

Dogs? Where?

Oh, here they are...

Dogs, *shurgs*, Can't live with them....

Can't live without them!!!!  Today, Dakota & Sadie were being rather spoiled brats.  But once we put them in their respected "time out area" they calmed right down & have been total angel's since then.  

This is Dakota in her Time-out, doesn't she look so sad!

After the Time out, Dakota got the Bone....

Miss Sadie, she just stands right there until Dakota stops chewing...

Dakota wonders why she just won't go away!

So, Sadie steals the bone & of course is extremely happy!

"Oh, it's so yummy!"

But once Sadie drops it, Kota goes back for it & Sadie, being the spoiled one wants it back even though 30 seconds ago decided she didn't want it anymore

& then of course, she always gets it back... Look at that adorable face!!

A Prius in the Desert

I love my Prius. It loves the desert...
