Winging it...

Rain this morning, but it stopped in time for us to load up the Speck. Even had some breaks with blue sky on the way back to the rental place. I was kinda appalled when we first got that car, but it turned out to be very adequate for getting around in the city. We could fit into any parking spot, and when I would make a wrong turn, I could do a U-turn in about a lane and a half. Still, I didn't shed a tear when we turned it back in.

Gray skies while we're waiting for the plane, but sunny and 70s for the next 10 day forecast for the Phoenix area. We're looking forward to some of that sunshine. And, seeing "the kids"... daughter, son-in-law, and the furry one. Stephanie has been sending us photo texts this week so we could see how little Izzy has been doing.

On edit: Back in the desert. Quite a change from the rain and overcast of the PNW to the Arizona land of dry and infinite sunshine. Little Izzy was happy to see us, and vice versa.

We had a plan on boarding the plane: take the first set of unoccupied seats that didn't have screaming kids nearby. The couple behind us must have had their two kickers and screamers hidden under their jackets, 'cause we sure didn't see them. Just my luck - they put the two of them together in one seat... right behind me. In reality, the Mother was more of an annoyance than the kids... when they'd kick or scream she'd say, "Do you want a spanking? I'll do it right here." Repeatedly.

"Do it, already, lady... or shut up. The kids are fine." ;-)
