We chose on Wednesday to go to Flagstaff---to pick up a jigsaw puzzle we had framed, to get me a haircut, to buy some casual pants for me, to have sushi for lunch (at Hiro's, our favorite), and to pick up train tickets for our trip to San Diego next month.
After I pigged out at Hiro's, we cancelled the haircut and pants portion of the trip.
On Thursday, our spa stopped working properly---flashing warning lights on the keypad and not maintaining temperature---and Becky had several conversations with the Summit Spa people in Flagstaff to try to diagnose the problem. Nothing worked, so they made an appointment to come see it early next week. Friday afternoon, it started working again---for no apparent reason. Perhaps turning off the electricity for several hours did it. Or adding water. I guess we'll never know.
Saturday was "Bearizona Bash" day. They had live music
and some special animal exhibits, and food, beer, and wine everywhere. We set up two camp chairs in the picnic area and just watched the world go by for a few hours. Fun, and relaxing.
Sunday was a relaxing day. Becky worked on a jigsaw puzzle and I watched a few TV shows I've never seen before. I have to do that more often; the shows were interesting. Early Monday morning, Becky booked us on a river trip to Bordeaux, France, in November of 2016. Talk about planning ahead! The rest of Monday and much of Tuesday was spent largely getting ready for the arrival (on Tuesday) of Lucy Daggett, a friend of Becky's from high school days, who will be staying with us for a few days. Lucy flew to Las Vegas from Oakland (her home is in Walnut Creek), then waited in line an hour and a half to pick up a rental car, and drove three + hours to our house. She arrived about 6:00 PM, tired but exhilarated.
We had a quick glass of Chardonnay and headed for Kicks on Route 66 for dinner. Delicious, as usual.
