Wait!! These months are when time is spent in Scottsdale – NOT in Magic on the road. Not so fast my friend. There are too many activities and NONE are to be missed.
This time Magic got a ‘pass’ and Marriott provided the bed and shower as the Lexus was loaded with the golf clubs, the food bag and a couple of suitcases and driven to – – Las Vegas, baby;-) The primary event was a regional volleyball tournament that niece Demi was playing in – but, we always ‘layer in’ whatever else comes to mind! This time it was visiting, golfing, eating, and visiting with friends (Eileen and Tom) AND celebrating G’s 70th b-day!!!!!
HMMM…where is the hole and how far do we have to hit it to reach the fairway?
Once the BAD group (Barb, Andrew & Demi) arrived, we were off doing some of the LV ‘sights’ – including the ‘High Roller’, which provided great views of LV – –

COOL!!!
Time for some serious game. Over 150 courts on the floor of the convention center!! If this doesn’t give one a headache – nothing will;-(
What a cacophonous cavern!
Demi the libero – some serious concentration.
Gotta get home – Sunday is Easter brunch at our house with the family. It was a nice morning on the patio to eat and relax but the heat of early afternoon chased us all inside. Everyone take 5 – as next up is ‘Heads Up’.
The Moms and BAD group.
A friendly game of Heads Up.
WHAT
Lots of other activities fill up the time between trips, volleyball, family celebrations and holidays. Like more golf!! E played in her club’s member/guest with friend Laurie – AND they won for the second year in a row;-)
McDowell Mountain Champs;-)
We took a cooking class with neighbors Karen & Doug – –
G tossing the Thai noodles.
And we both spent a LOT of time as volunteers at the Musical Instrument Museum!! One of our favorite shifts is working the latest special exhibit – Dragons & Vines – which displays 30+ guitars (also banjos and mandolins) that have incredibly beautiful inlay work. Just can’t get enough of this place.

While other parts of the country are experiencing some vicious weather and/or digging themselves out of those last dumps of snow – we are enjoying the wonders of the desert spring – –
The Argentine Giant Cactus blooms are stunning.
The yucca are in full bloom.
AND NOW – the next stop in our whirlwind spring is St. Andrews, Scotland!!!
Excited and packing – E & G
