WHIRLWIND WEEK!

El and Doug hosted a BBQ to welcome the guys to Apache Junction. 
A very nice way to kick off the week. We all enjoyed the ribs- they were awesome!

We took a day and headed off to Sedona. The pictures can't begin to show how gorgeous the area is. This is the view from the ranger station - lots of great information, and this guy......

....not sure who's shaggier.   :)


This another view area before entering Sedona. Not hard to see why it's called Bell Rock.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross.

The signs say-
Please do not climb on fountain.
Please don't pick us, we're smiling at God.
Please don't sit on fountain.
How sad, we need to be told this.

The cactus is blooming! Photo op, and look at that background!

One evening, Dan and I went out back to catch the sunset.
I can just imagine how fabulous his photos are!
He advised me to turn my camera, and this is my best sunset pic!

We took some family pics by the pool. 
This is 'going back home day'.

Departure.

We had a wonderful week with Ben and Dan here. A vacation week with grown kids is a lot of fun, but it goes by so quickly!

Love you guys!

ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER.......ETC.

These oranges are amazingly GOOD! I'm not a huge fan of oranges as a rule, but the ones here, fresh off the tree, are pure ambrosia. Doug brought these over, and they are de-lish! Thanks Doug!


These are small suncatchers I made with pieces of stained glass leftover from my stained glass class. The class project should be done sometime Tuesday, then I can share it here. Meanwhile, I worked on these to get some soldering practice in. 
The boys will each be taking one home with them.

Left to right- Dan and Ben will be here until Wednesday- only a couple days left with them. We've been having a great time together!
