There are so many adventures and activities written about as we journey around the country in Magic – you all might think that when we get home we just sit on our keesters until we are off again.  WRONG!!  The activities in Scottsdale match those on the road – just different venues and different sights.

Golf is a mainstay – at a minimum the courses around town see us EVERY Monday and Thursday – and sometimes E plays Ladies Day on Tuesday.  And, even here there is ‘wildlife’ to see —

A gallery of birds lined top to watch our steller golf.

One day a week we try to get our exercise outside instead of in the gym by hiking one of the mountains around town.  They may not be the 1,000 – 2,000 vertical feet we get in Park City – but they get the heart rate up just the same.

Lots of signs…which way do we go?

We also get back in to our volunteering routine at The Musical Instrument Museum – the best museum EVER!!   E spends 3-4 days a week there between giving school tours and wandering the galleries or monitoring the special exhibits and G spends a couple of days there, too.  An evening or two a week may be spent there, also, for some great concerts in a fabulous theater;-)

Volleyball games played by niece Demetra also come back on the calendar.  The fall includes the high school team games during the week followed by ‘club’ ball on Saturdays through the spring.  This year she played on the Pinnacle HS Freshman team –

Volley Ball at Demi’s High School.

Sometimes the cheering section grew to include both Grandmothers (as well as Mom and Auntie) – –

Some of the cheering section.

Another good get.

It is really FUN when our friends that we play golf with in Salt Lake come to Scottsdale to play golf for November – and celebrate all our birthdays.  (We also get our Canadian neighbors back for the month to golf.)  Not that we need any of those reasons to party!

Birthday wishes for Rheta, Elizabeth and Laurie. Thanks Linda and Jim.

And – just as is true on the road – the end to every day is beautiful sight;-)

Just one of many beautiful desert sunsets this winter – from our patio.

So – there is no slow down in activity here.  Every day is lived to its fullest;-)

E & G – on solid ground
