So the last two years the sisters have not been able to go to Phoenix because of other family issues. This year we made it and oh did we have fun.
We had tickets to five different Cubs games, in 3 different stadiums. The Cubs had a new stadium we had not seen before, so that was fun. The Cubs are by far the biggest draw in Phoenix, so it was standing room only at all the games.
Jan had a new toy called a "selfie stick" where she put her phone on the end of the stick and all three of us cold get in the picture. I just realized those pictures are on my phone. I will have to send them to my computer.
Beautiful weather in Phoenix - 80-85 every day. It was wonderful!!
The Chicago Blackhawks were in town to play the Phoenix Coyotes. Went to an NHL game. The place was probably 80% Blackhawk fans and it was electric. So much fun! Blackhawks won 2-1.
One of the fun things we did was arrange a class for Jan to take at the local Rockler Store to get some training on turning on a lathe. Jan has been wanting to get a small lathe so she could turn pens and small boxes. I called the Rockler Store in Phoenix several weeks before we went to see if they would do a private lesson for Jan. Got it set for Monday night at 6:00. We were at our first baseball game and around 5:00 we told Jan we had to leave. She said, "we never leave early, why are we leaving?" I just told her come on, let's go.
She had a 3 hour, one on one lesson with an old, seasoned turner. The item above was a practise with all the different tools, gouges, etc. Then she attempted to make a small rolling pin.
She had lots of fun and said we surprised her!! Woo hoo!!!!
Had dinner one night with some of Pat's special friends. That was totally awesome!!
Phoenix has a new temple north of Phoenix and north of Glendale. It was beautiful and up on a hill.
Here is a picture using the "selfie stick".
And of course, this is what I got when I returned to work. Oh the harassment!! It was all worth it!!!
