Could they be any happier?

Here are our new friends George and Tanya on their honeymoon in Aruba. We had the joy of serving as their marriage mentors in September.

Here's where we go almost every day

More from Scottsdale

The weather has been great here. Mornings always start by the pool. I'm out here before 6:30 and at dawn's early light. It's wonderful. Cynthia and I have coffee together and have been working on the history of our years together. We're finding it's so significant for us to be able to recall where we've been, what we've done, and celebrate our years together.
This is the condo. Ted and Linda's old place is to the left. Imagine the gentle rumble of earth movers and the beep beep beep of equipment backing up with an over lay of bird songs, and a cool gentle breeze. The nearby construction quickly became the white noise of progress to me...


Here's sunset at Hayden and Indian Bend. The crane is busy every morning at 6 building a new water way under Indian Bend so it doesn't flood every monsoon season. Ted say's it rediculous to spend millions of dollars on this. I think I might agree.

Here's a scene in Jerome. This is a mining town turned ghost town turned artist community. The day we were there it was inundated by bikers from a rally over at Cottonwood. The streets were alive with activity and music. The gallery's were filled with some fine examples of local art.

This a Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter residence, office, and school during the last 20 plus years of his life. He did over a third of his 1100 designs after he was 70, and lived into his 90's. He was working on five projects when he died. Amazing.

Every Thursday night is an art walk in Scottsdale. Cynthia and Linda are discussing the finer points of expressing one's self in lead crystal.

Here Ted is plotting his next move during the art walk. Probably getting home to let Daphne out.
