~busy fun in the sun weekend~

this weekend was a busy one.....
Andy, a friend of mine left the snow & cold of NY state...
to enjoy the sun poolside....among other AZ delights...
the pups didnt really know what to think of that noise he kept making.....but i thought it was rather nice...... =)

of course ....
saturday we did the drive up into the mountains to Sedona.....
i always luv the reaction when visitors see the RedRocks for the first time......
after exiting the hwy...
you take that corner ......
& BAM!
beauty.....
never fails.....
u tell people about the Red Rocks.....
but until they see them.....it doesnt really make sense....

Afterwards we took the detour over the mnts back home....
thru jerome.....
always a nice drive...=)
there was snow ....quite a bit actually....
not really what Andy left NY to see.....but i thought it was beautiful......
after getting back into town....removed all the redrock dust...& got ready to meet Amy (see below) but her kids were sick....
so..we did the next best thing...
we went to the taste of Thai instead.....YUM!....
Andy ate FIRE....& i had a delicious sweet-n-sour chix.....

Sunday ....we arranged to see Amy...
a friend of Andy's at the Scottish highland games.....
& for the record....before we go any further...
can I just say how f'in hot a man in a kilt is?.....
((more delicious pics on my flickr site...(see above))
RAWR!
ok....anyway......Amy & Andy had a chance to catch up after 16 yrs... kewl =)...
& afterwards...we went out for delicious Mexican food @ cafe Bario (best guacamole made at the table I have EVAH had) on 16th street just south of Thomas......

Monday.....
after sleeping til noon ....LOL
......um...yeah....not me...Andy......
people....I have told u about that bed!...
I of course being the hostess w/ the mostess.....
gave Andy my room.....(w/ Bella & Zoe....(traitors!)...
while i was on the couch....(w/ korkor....)....
so...natually ...I was not seduced into a coma from that bed.......lol
anywho....I digress.....
when we finally got rollin.....
we took the cameras out back...
played w/ the pups & my collection of ducks in the pool......
later we tried to capture the sunset.....
(u can see from the pics...Andy's camera was permanently attached to his face the whole time he was here....)
& took the pups for a walk before taking Andy to the airport for his trip back to the frozen tundra of NY.....

all in all ....a nice weekend.....
