Dad and Mom Are Here!

Dad and Mom arrived late Saturday night on Allegiant Air. Their direct flight from Grand Rapids was very pleasant and the drive back to our house was less than 10 minutes, even nicer yet. It seems we all enjoyed the new experience flying with Allegiant. We live minutes away from the old Williams Air Force Base which is now called Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport . Thank goodness, at this time, Allegiant is the only airline that has limited flights out of there.

We've been pretty busy since Dad and Mom have arrived. For the two weeks that they will be here, I have taken Mon, Tues and Fri off each week. In a few minutes, we are going over to Gail and Dick's for Saturday lunch. I'll get back on later for those pics. But here are a few pics from this past week:


We start every day with coffee! Dad is black and Mom and I are iced mochas w/sugar free chocolate syrup.


We had lunch the other day at the Farmhouse Grill . It was featured on Food Network last year. In fact, last year when Dad and Mom were out, we were sitting there and Dad looked across the way and said that he recognized someone. Sure enough it was a couple from MI that Dad had worked with. They were out visiting their daughter, who is a teacher out here. What a small world sometimes!

Thursday, Missy picked up Mom and we met for coffee after work.
Thursday, Gail came over and had lunch with Dad and Mom. Dick wasn't able to make that trip.

Yesterday, we were all over town. I think that we made maybe 10 stops. One of which was IKEA. We had our fix of swedish meatballs and lingonberry sauce. Their not stingy with the meatballs either, count them "15"!
