Simmering Summer

We've had a great week! Heather flew in 6/26, and we had lots of fun that weekend. All the kids were here for a BBQ on Sunday, along with Megann, Taylor, and our friends Peter and Kathy, from Florida. Peter makes the most amazing Hungarian marinated meats! Monday Heather and I went to Phoenix for a couple days- hotter than Hadies, but we stayed at the Papago Inn and Resort, which is a neat little hotel. It was built in the 60's, I think, and still has a very retro feel. The courtyard is so lovely, full of vines, trees, an aviary and a pool. The staff is really friendly and the beds were fantastic! It was only $50 a night, and so worth the price.

We celebrated Heather's birthday this week, then had another get-together on the 4th. Just the kids, and we were able to watch the fireworks from our front yard. I am so grateful to live in this wonderful country! God Bless America, and the men and women that serve and protect us.

I was able to attend the mini-reunion of our high school class, it was great fun. There were about 15 of us there plus a few family members. We met at Goldwater Lake, and spent a great 3-4 hours just catching up and hanging out. Julie Hutchins Kyer and I went up together, then she took me for a ride on her new scooter! We went for a spin around the Prescott plaza- during the 4th of July it's full of people, artwork, crafts and all kinds of booths. I didn't have time to actually wander the plaza, but it was fun to be downtown for a few minutes and enjoy the energy.
