“Mercury Forecast Edmonton -17 degrees snow, Calgary -15 degrees winter warning, Mesa 20 degrees”

This is when I love Arizona as I see the weather our friends and family have to deal with.

The plane was only slightly delayed but we did not get home and to bed until 1 am. A small world happens again as sitting by the luggage carousal we run into Sandy. It turns out our friend George, who used to own Lealta, was on the same flight. He was arriving with our family. I haven’t seen him for a few years. I will say he looks younger now than before so good on him. A nice quick visit knowing we will be golfing the next day together. Welcome to AZ.

Everyone slept which was nice. A cool evening after a exciting trip makes one sleep.

A busy day one ahead. Everyone getting ready for the day.

You get sun, water, and boys what happens.

The boys had a blast and loved the desert atmosphere. The Cactus are in full bloom.

Atti experienced pulling a orange and grapefruit off the trees and having them. A bit too much sugar but he loved him. He didn’t eat the lemon. LOL

As it was a last minute decision, and I had booked a golf game with the guys.

Another wonderful group of guys to golf with. Today we had a former auto dealer owner from Lethridge, a lumberyard owner from Lethbridge, an asphalt company owner from Regina, a Freightliner dealer owner from Saskatoon, a tire shop owner from Saskatoon, a trucking company owner out of Innisfail and a trucking company owner out of Lloydminister. Just you think about the amazing talent retired out of the business world.

I had a blast playing with Sandy and George. For George it was the first time hitting a ball for a few months. It was the first time in about 25 years I beat both of them. I will take it every time I can. LOL

As soon as my golf gathering ended we whipped up to Fat Willy’s for burger night. The first time sitting on the patio at Fat’s this year. 24 ounce beer mugs go great with burgers. Nice that Jessica loves the same.

Two movies to end the night and day one done.

Thought of the Day

Beer and burgers: proof that happiness can be grilled and poured at the same time.
