Spring in Arizona

Yes it is spring in some places. For Arizonians it usually starts in February. The trees and cactus are in bloom and the weather starts to be in the mid seventies. So far this year the temperature was a bit cool in January but it did warm up fast. We got about two days of rain which is a lot for Arizona. They do appreciate the rain though.
Punch and I had a great time in February. We went to Las Vegas to meet Renee and Pat. They were down in Vegas to celebrated Pat's 40th birthday. It was really great to see them and we had a good time visiting with them. Visists always seem to short when your enjoying each others company. Norm was down in Vegas too but we missed him since he had to leave on Saturday. He sure had a marvelous time if you go by the pictures he posted on Facebook. Hope to see him there next year. Compared to last year we stayed more at home and did less visiting. We did manage to go to Castle Rock for a ride and we did take in the Renaissance Festival again. It is really good fun and the turkey legs are yummy.
We finished playing Boccie on February 22nd and we came in first this year. We are having our supper on March 6th.
The puppies are fine and we have been going to a potluck supper every Wednesday near the doggy park now that doggy training is over and yes we did pass. Food is always a plenty and the company is great also. We have made really good friends and they sure will be missed after we leave but most of them are coming back next year. Punch and I are hoping to be back also if all goes well.Since we are staying a few weeks longer this year we got to see the Mesa Spirit Parade. It was really nice and people were having a good time. We will be leaving on March 9th but taking about three weeks to get to B. C. I'm sure that we will enjoy every minute of our trip back. I do have to add that for a day we opened our own Dog Grooming Shop. The brainstorm idea seem to be a great one at the time but by the end of the day the Shop was out of business and poor Muffin was to embarrass too go to the park. They do say that her hair will grow back but I do sure feel sorry for her till it does.
