Phoenix Jan/Feb 2024 - Thursday

 Thursday, February 1, 2023

Woke up early around 4:15 a.m. (5:15 Minneapolis time which is when I usually get up). Above photos taken around 7:30 a.m. as the sun was rising. Noticed the awesome cactus next door is not there anymore. 

                     

Took a soak in the hot tub around 8:00 a.m. Water hadn't completely heated up yet although it was warmer than the air temperature. 

                    

The oranges in the back yard are looking good. Dale says they taste delicious. 

                    

Dale had to work but I relaxed and got a couple nice walks in. Lunch at the club and then we went shopping for a baseball cap for me. 

It got quite a bit warmer than I expected. A little too warm for the jeans and track jacket I was wearing. 

Got to Brenda and Irv's around 4 p.m. for cocktail. Had a nice visit. So good to see them!

                      

Stopped by the grocery store on the way home to get dinner makings. Temp had cooled down a bit by the time we got home. Before dinner I had a cigar and a cocktail...

                     

and another soak in the tub. 

Dinner of chicken, broccoli, and cornbread. Watched Big Bang Theory. Dessert of red velvet cake.
