Thanksgiving - November 24th

We had a really nice Thanksgiving at Barry & Rachel's daughter & son-in-law's.  Rachel's oven was broken and the part was on back-order, so they moved it to Michael & Brittany's.  As always, the food was excellent and abundant and we had a lot of laughs.  Bob & I were the only ones that didn't bring a dog.  There were SIX dogs there!  :-)  I meant to get a picture of all of them, but forgot until some had already left.  We always enjoy spending time with them and they always make us feel so welcome.

Red Rock Fantasy - Sedona, AZ, Sunday, November 20th

Today we drove up to Sedona, which is our FAVORITE place of all the places we've visited so far.  They are having the Red Rock Fantasy Christmas Light Display at the Los Abrigados Resort & Spa.  We drove around the city for a while, did a little shopping and then had dinner at The Javelina Cantina (the BEST Mexican food in Sedona) before going to the Red Rock Fantasy.  The light display was not what we were expecting and we were a little disappointed. 

Driving to Sedona...such a beautiful area!

A Great Day with Great People

Yesterday we spent the day at Barry & Rachel's.  Vivian and her friend, Bob, were also there.This is the first time we've seen Barry & Rachel since we arrived in Mesa because Rachel was really sick for a while and Barry travels for work so much.  It was great to see them and their family.  They always make us feel so welcome! As always, we really enjoyed our day.  After dinner, Rachel insisted on playing Left-Right-Center for dollars and it worked out well for us, since Bob won 3 out of 4 games.  :-)   Today is Barry's birthday, so Rachel had a birthday cake for him.
