Dreams, Moments, Travels
Today, we took my mother-in-law, Jutta, to a local high school for a recital from Asha Gopal’s students at the Arathi School of India-Dance. Featured above on the right is Hemu, the daughter of our friend Sonal. The performance of dozens of girls, young ladies, and a couple of moms lasted a few hours and was just stunning, entertaining, and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Maybe the furry characters weren’t working as well, pulling in the customers and so on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona, so we are seeing more and more ‘normal’ guys holding advertisements. Almost frantically, they are getting downright funky, busting the mean groove. What happened to the happy chicken waving serenely?
After a very long flight from Frankfurt, Germany, that included a three-hour stop-over in Los Angeles, Jutta, my mother-in-law, is greeted by Caroline. It has been two years since she last visited. This will be her longest visit to America; she will be with us for six weeks.
Artificial lakes in Arizona offer residents the opportunity to go boating right in the middle of the desert. On hot days, though, it smells a bit funny here, or is that just the new aroma of Scottsdale?
Horse properties around the corner from us break up the monotony of the cookie-cutter homes so prevalent in Phoenix, Arizona.
What an ugly way to start the day – coffee and crashing. Four cars play pile-up and fortunately, no one was hurt. A half-mile further down the road, we came across another fender bender. You can bet we were extra careful the remainder of the drive.
