MESA, AZ - 12/1/08 - 5/6/09

This is what we were greeted with as we pulled up to our designated site in our coach! Our friends Mariel and Denny Grubar surprised us with a bottle of wine & 2 glasses, all set up on a picnic table. We were just thrilled!!!














Our friends Rosemarie & Rainer Mechel from Ontario, Canada hosted a "Welcome Back" dinner for us on their patio.
Rainer, the host, is in the front. Next to him are Mona & Bob Naleway from Winnipeg, Manitoba and Lake of the Woods. Then Irene (Joe is taking the picture). Then Rosemarie, the hostess. Then on the right side are Mariel & Denny Grubar, from Minnesota. We all had a great time and a delicious dinner - thank you, Rosemarie & Reiner!


The Arizona sky is amazing - we see so many stars and such bright moons. Here is the vivid moon - the two "blob" below it are Mercury & Venus - what a treat for citifolks like us!
