Fun with sis

I had a great time with sister Sharon during her visit to Arizona. I took her to the airport bright and early this morning for her flight to New Mexico so she can visit her son Erik and his children before heading back to Florida.

She arrived last Wednesday and stayed with Lisa that night. I picked her up in Mesa (Lisa's home)on Thursday and we went to my home for the rest of the day and evening. Friday morning we hiked and then met Lisa and her sons Nick and Aaron for happy hour at Dos Gringo's in Old Scottsdale. She went home with them for the week-end. Then Sunday I drove back to Old Scottsdale and met Sharon, Lisa, Aaron (1), Taylor and Dan for dinner at Oregano's. Megan, it is still is as good as you remember!

Sharon came home once again with me and stayed until her flight this morning. We hiked three times despite my broken little toe. I couldn't get my hiking boots on so I threw on my Teva's and away we went! We also worked in two visits to Terravita, Sharon's former home in Scottsdale. She was able to see many old friends so that was great for her and them! I think they wished she still lived there. :-) I don't know if the feeling is mutual, though. Sharon seems to be very content in The Villages of Florida!

Now it is quiet and I look forward to spending Thanksgiving in Iowa and seeing Drew and Kayley. I cannot begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to that!!!
