My Phoenix Arizona trip....

 Hi sweet friends,

I returned from Arizona this past Monday and
so I am posting some pictures of my visit with you.


I stayed with my husbands Mom and Dad in Phoenix AZ. Mom and Dad bought a home right on the golf course just a few months ago after selling their home in Colorado. Dad plays golf about three times a week and is happy as a clam....did you ever wonder how happy a clam could be? Lol
 Can you believe there is a doves nest up in this Palm tree? Well there is. Mr and Mrs Dove wove some palm fronds and have quite a high rise condo up there!! I have never seen baby Doves before have you??

This is Mom and Dads backyard!! every morning I would take my coffee and sit here in the chaise lounge and...just relax...Ahhhh!


This is Mom and I getting ready to leave for a ladies luncheon!!  The weather was just perfect!!


 Here I am at the pool....This is the "cold "pool"...it felt good though!!!

 I wanted to be there for Mom's birthday again this year. Mom made a homemade Blueberry pie and a a Cherry Cheesecake too!  I had to have a slice of both....too yummy!!!! :)
 This is "Andy" the very large Rag Doll kitty. Andy is 11 years old and loves living a life of relaxation...all the time!!!  Lol

 Here I am with Mom and Dad after we had our dinner at the Cottonwood club!! It was Fish night!!

 I thought I would show you some of the beautiful flowers and plants I came across while in AZ.

Cactus of course is everywhere in this arid region. There are so many varieties of Cactus too.

This cute little fella was sooo cute!! He came right up to me and smiled for the picture too!!!




Well my friends that's all for now! I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my pics from AZ.

On my next post I will show you the wonderful Antique Mall I visited and I will be highlighting A wonderful gal and her booth!!!


Love and Blessings to All,

Susan

    Thank-You so much Susan for giving us an insight into the world of Arizona. Being from a very small town in Scotland, it is wonderful to see things are in other parts of the world. Looking forward to your next post as you certainly make them interesting. Have a good Day. Hugs Rita xx

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
