Hi,

We are sure enjoying our place in AZ. We have been busy playing golf, Ric had 2 friends, Steve and Willie, down from SEA for 5 days, so we were busy with them.
One night we went to a hockey game to see the Phoenix Coyotes play the Edmonton Oilers, we saw a 3-2 win for Phoenix.

Today we will go to see the Mariners play and hopefully see some of the regulars that will be starting in the real season.

I went to the LPGA to watch the professional ladies play golf. I was really looking forward to watching Paula Creamer play golf and she withdrew the day before competition. It is still so inspiring to watch them hit the ball 250 yards or more, but also see the best of them be in the sand traps and also Lorena's ball roll into the water and she had to take a drop.

Tomorrow I will go stay with Robin overnight and then on Tues. we are going horseback riding in the mountains by her house.

It seems like time is going by fast. We really like the house we picked, but are in a part of Surprise where it takes more than 30 minutes just to get to the freeway, that is not good when we want to be going places almost every day. If we come here next year, we will rethink the location.

The weather has been spectacular, in the 80's most days and sunny. If we were to complain, it has been a little windy, stirring up the dust. But when we see the weather in the rest of the country, there is nothing to complain about here.

That is it for today.
Cheers,
Brenda*
