Lite my candle for the Gulf.

What's been going on.

Well two weeks ago, my great friend Hans, from Amsterdam, came to the great city of Phoenix to visit me. I came form the hinter lands to hang out with him in the big city.

He hooked us up a nice couple of rooms in the Marriott Courtyard in the business section of Phoenix, where there are many places to shop, which is what both of us like to do. With in two block walking distance ( I do not drive when I am on vacation) there were four shopping centers. Fabulous. One being my favorite, The Biltmore, nice Macys and a great bucnh of upscale boutigues, great for roaming around. There is also a Cheesecake Factory ( Hans and I love this place) where we meet an old chum of his from highschool in Aruba ( where he hails from) and her husband. We just had the best time. Much food and much wine.

Well when we were not out shopping or eating we were hanging out pool side, nice jacuz also. Just couldn't ask for more. While we were there which was over a weekend the strangest thing happened, the weather turned cool ( for Phoenix) one day it even rained. Never got out of the 90's and the day it rained (for 5 minutes) I don't thing it got out of the 80"s. This is very strange for Phoenix in June. I just guess we did something right.

The whole 4 days just couldn't have been more fun. I was so happy to see Hans. He hadn't been here for 3 years, which is way too long away. Lots of catching up and gossip, gossip, gossip, which we are both very good at. Looks like we will make this a yearly thing.

Attached is photo of Hans poolside. Hope he doesn't mind me posting it.

Have a great day

Oh me look I'm back.

Was talking to an old friend from here on facebook today (where I never go any more) and I realized how much I really miss you all over here. So I'm back.

I will be visiting and catching up on what everyone has been doing. Hope to get a good gabby blog out in the next little bit telling all that has been going on since my post about the superbowl.

Hope all are well,

Susan
