While staying in Apache Junction, we went to Scottsdale to meet our son, Russell, his wife Karen (both of whom now live in Prescott Valley, AZ since July 2007, after leaving New Jersey) and our daughter, Alexandra, who flew into Phoenix from New Jersey to see us all. Scottsdale is just such a beautiful town - beautiful homes, trees, shops, restaurants. We had arranged to meet at Karen & Russ's favorite restaurant "Bandera". Food was yummy.

We were so happy to have two of his three children and one daughter-in-law with us --- wished all of our children, significant others, and our grandchildren were here.
