After two trips to the DMV, a vehicle inspection, phone calls, emails to get a letter from Mazda USA and an emission test, our little car now has an Arizona licence plate! horray! What a process but so glad that's done.
We were off to Cave Creek for some gluten free crepes and great coffee for lunch. Nothing like a quiet view of the mountains with some great food. I had a savory chicken crepe and Craig went for a chocolate raspberry one. It was so cute and had a happy face on it in chocolate - but Craig downed it before I could get out the camera! It always seems like such a quiet place but they must be doing well since they are expanding in the new year into a larger location. We will definitely continue to be regular customers. Cave Creek and the Village Coffee Shoppe is usually one of our first stops after we get in but this time it took us six days before we got there!! Here's some neat shops - I'd bring a lot of things home if they would only fit in the suitcase! The lamps made with cactus skeletons are amazing, especially the floor ones that are full size.
Love the outdoor cactus pans below....in the right spot, they would look great!
Before I forget, it may be hot here during the day it's cool at night - about 60F or so or even less. They don't heat swimming pools here so they lose the heat and are not very warm for swimming. The pool is probably 65F. Craig was hot from working around the condo so he went for a swim. He told me he went in twice. Once to cool off and once to find his testicles!! LOL!! What a guy....
Well, even on vacation there are things to do and maintain. The windows are all washed now and there is a nice new back door light that will be great when we BBQ. The outside is low maintenance and our automatic sprinkler seems to be on enough to keep our cactus and aloe plants going. We didn't even have to rake our faux grass this time but it looks like friends may have done that recently.
Enjoy your day - we will!!
