Our travels in Magic are wonderful – BUT, so is our ‘stationary’ home. We are grateful to be able to enjoy both.
The two months at home have flown by and now the Holidays are upon us! One of the BEST afternoons this time of year is the one spent at sister Barb’s where we are thankful to have time with family and a fantastic feast – –

Beautiful Thanksgiving Table at Barb, Andrew and Demi’s.

Salute! (Poor Old Gary – always the Man behind the Camera!)
In our continuing effort to ‘try new things’ we experienced a Gelato Fest, the Fountain Hills Art Festival, a new country western restaurant in Scottsdale – Handle Bar J’s, a VERY ‘new to us’ group at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) – Song of Lahore, and an absolutely wonderful art exhibit of Jun Kaneko Sculptures at the David and Gladys Wright House in Phoenix followed by a lovely brunch at Royal Palms.
This fabulous Frank Lloyd Wright House was built by Frank for his son, David, to give to his wife, Gladys, in 1952 and was one of his last accomplishments. We LOVE this house – and it was almost torn down to subdivide the land and build 4 or more houses. Thank goodness someone stepped in and prevented this from happening. The grounds were a perfect setting for this exhibit on this beautiful morning.

Of course there was a lot of the ‘normal’ stuff during the last couple of months also. MANY concerts at MIM and the Scottsdale Performing Arts Center, shifts and tour guiding at MIM, getting caught up on all the annual doctor appointments, many dinners with friends, daily walks to Starbucks in the Kierland Commons where we often see this guy – –

– – -and lots of golf with friends. What a surprise this was – –

Who knew. 👏⛳️👏👏
So – we have lots to be thankful for and we think that EVERY day;-)
Next up – Christmas!
Hope you, too, had a very Happy Thanksgiving – E & G
Love hearing about your travels. Congrats Elizabeth on the golfing award. Hope you and Gary are doing well. Chris and I met you and Gary in Coeur d’alene several months ago. Look forward to seeing you both again someday. Happy travels.
