Dreams, Moments, Travels
A friendly customer at Indo Euro brought a bag full of guavas from the trees in her yard and Sonal let me have a couple. The large ones are Hawaiian, the small ones are an Asian variety. They smelled so sweet, it put a smile on my face all afternoon. And they tasted great, too!
I found this poster a couple of doors down from Indo Euro. I love that this strip mall is so diverse! With a little more effort I could probably decipher this young man’s name in the Cyrillic writing and thus possibly find out somewhere online why he is so fond of heavy make-up.
Last night’s thunderstorm was so loud it woke me up a few times while it was hovering over our house for an hour or so. A couple of times the thunder and lightning set off some people’s car alarms. In the morning, which was refreshingly cool (in the lower 80s), I stopped on the way out of the apartment complex to snap this picture of our “new pool”.
After a long day at work, I whisked by Target on Frank Lloyd Wright and the 101 to pick up a couple of greeting cards. One for a co-worker recovering from surgery, and another one for my sorely missed spouse. The card pictured above is a birthday card, which I’ll eventually send my mother. It will be late of course, in true snail fashion.
I’ve thought I’d stop at the public golf course next to my school, Paradise Valley Community College for a photo because they have a pretty fountain. I can see it from the road when I drive to work in the morning. I figured it would look nice in the setting sun. However, I never noticed before that it is turned off in the evening when the course closes. So here is the Paradise Valley Park Golf Course, sans fountain. Maybe I’ll be early enough one day to stop on my way to the office.
Auntie Eleanor gave us a fright today. She collapsed in the morning and 911 was called. I drove to the hospital to see her and was relieved to find her exhausted, but well. I hung out for a few hours and by the time I left she was awake and alert. On the way home I stopped at Frys Electronic and bought John a present, the soundtrack of the movie “The Proposition” which we enjoyed seeing in the theatre a few months ago. Auntie stayed in the hospital for more tests and returned home a few days later.
