Arizona Trip

Friday afternoon I flew out to Phoenix Arizona to see my sister Melissa and her husband Jon. I had the best time!! It was a mix of a birthday present for my sister and a task for me. She had pulled apart and refinished a chair that Jon's Grandmother gave them and I had the chore of putting it back together! I say chore, but it was such a blessing to be able to see family and catch up in person.
Saturday afternoon Jon smoked a turkey so that we could have a mini Thanksgiving. His parents, Deb and Bob, came for dinner and we had a wonderful time. The turkey came out so juicy!! Most of the trimmings were present, but the best part was the wonderful company.
I took the liberty of relaxing in the chair that I finished Sunday morning. It was so comfy when it was done!! Jon kept saying "are you sure you have enough time to do it??" I think by the time I left he was aptly impressed!!
We sweet talked Jon into taking our picture in their backyard. Melissa kept saying "come on, we'll sit on the couch and take it". I wanted one with the cactus in the background!! We went shopping shortly after this and got asked something that we haven't in years... "Are you two twins??" Too funny! Nope, just sixteen months apart.
This is Bear, named after the bear stock market in '99. It only makes sense if you know that her husband is a financial advisor! He is a greyhound lab mix but very sweet.
I had to include this picture, aren't his ears funny?? I love how he sits!!
