Eared GrebeThis will be a relatively short entry as we were to pick up Ruth’s sister and husband (Gerri and Andy) at the Phoenix Airport. But first getting settled in a big city means getting the lay of the land so that your trips out are efficient. Getting gasoline at $2.94 a gallon was a start. Next was a trip to the Safeway store which was ‘money back” if your tel. number is in their bank It was!
Ruth’s niece Karrie and husband Beau live about three miles from where we are staying. That is a real convenience as we must remember that Phoenix is a VERY spread out city, being the 13th in land area in the USA. It does have more than 4 million people in the Metropolitan area. That is a lot of cars, with movement all day long (and most of the night, too).
Well, we did see the new baby (RABEKA) and took her with us to the airport to greet Karrie’s sister, Mom and Dad. It was a joyous first time for all of them to see the n.JPG)

The rest of the day was getting goods put away and then to Karrie’s place for a lemon/chicken spinach casserole which was delicious. Gerri brought her first DVD that she made of the Upper Peninsula fall tour we did with tem last fall and Beau showed one of his “Short Movies” that he has entered in the Film Festival here. It is called “The table” Another one of his has been accepted in France for display on the continent. He is a film photographer and part time producer.

The DVD’s after dinner ended a very satisfying day for all. Tomorrow promises to be another as we visit the Casa Grande ‘Hohokam” ruins just south of Phoenix and head for the Wurlitzer Organ at the Pizza place here in Phoenix for supper. Remember the one at the “Roaring Twe.JPG)
nties”? This is the same organ that was moved here. Any requests?
We will catch you tomorrow and hope all’s well with you
Blessings, Jim and Ruth

hi,
How was the pizza and organ music? Sounds like fun. We have been to Phoneix but I did not realize it had such a large population. I do know it was a busy city with lots of traffic when I was there. The coyotes are howling here tonight -- maybe they don't want to go on daylight savings time.... take care and safe travels.... pat and Richard
