Did you have a great weekend? I did

Hi All


Today was a beautiful day in Scottsdale. A little breezy but sunny. I attended the Sunday A'fair at the Scottsdale Mall. A nice crowd, beautiful setting, great music (jazz and reggae) and awesome crepes. I am in foodie heaven when I have spinach and goat cheese crepes. Today I upped my game and had salmon with cream cheese and capers. Smile. I wasn't sure I was going to like salmon with creme cheese, but it was delicious. 

The first group was Sonora Jazz . The second group was Sugahbeats. They played reggae and Brazilian music. Both groups were very good.

I just picked baby girl up from trip to Sea World. She took this photo of Shamu. She was happy but tired. She was bubbling over telling me about her trip.  All in all a great weekend. How was your weekend  Leave a comment and share where ever you are in the world.


Check in with me every day this month to see what I'm posting during the Ultimate Blog Challenge.

Ya!! We went to the State Fair

I almost slipped up and missed posting. I have got to get back on track in posting everyday. We missed the polo party but made the State Fair. Neither myself nor B'girl wanted to get up Saturday. We didn't leave going to the State Fair until 3 almost 4 pm. It's been nearly 25 years since I've been to a state fair. Yes, we did the fried food circuit, but the most exotic food was B'girl's fried Twinkie.

We did the game section and I even got on some rides with her like Evolution. A euphoric experience I will not be repeating. On a giant Ferris wheel ride that took you 100 ft. in the air you had a beautiful view of Phoenix spread out in front of you. Magnificent.

Today, I didn't even read the paper until 8am. Smile My bones were going ," Yeah, its our turn" so I have been pretty stationary most of the day. Next week is a long one so I listened to my body and did not push it.

I made lunch and I'm going back to lie down as I have an early trade event tomorrow at 7:30 am. Dinner will be vegetable pizza or a big salad.. After all those fried goodies yesterday the body needs a rest.

B'girl is a happy camper. Memories made.


 What did you do to get your family away from the electronics and out making memories.? Please share.

Taking your Own Advise Smile

Yes, I took my own advise and got out the house. My neighbor was going to a resale shop and invited me to go along. I AM NOT A Shopper, but since I didn't have to drive I went. She hit every garage sale we saw between our street and the resale shop. I got some interesting finds that I will share this weekend. I'm taking pictures this morning while I the lighting is good and then its off to the polo party. I was too tired to make the State Fair, so I'll have to go the last day Sunday after Eid prayer.

I'm supposed to go to my Scottsdale Leadership Class XXII reunion this evening. Send me energy so I'll have enough to attend. Smile


We've got dust storm warnings here in the Valley and if you've never been in one you can't imagine what its like. So we've see how this affects the weekends activities. I'll be posting pictures of my loot and the events of the weekend on Sunday and Monday. I'm going to need Monday and Tuesday to rest from the weekend. Smile


Get out and make memories.
