Pickin' Wildflowers...

Tonight me and Emmy are in Phoenix. We arrived yesterday about 10:30 or so, after leaving work at the canyon. We checked into our hotel and immediately booted up the computers to access the world wide web. :) We decided that neither of us could spend any long amount of time in the sticks. We miss civilization entirely too much. So we arrived and began checking our email. I had 12 new messages. :)

This morning, after sleeping late, off we went to the Fiesta Mall, where I window-shopped. We came back to the hotel and went swimming! Ahh... water! The temperature topped out at 110 today in Phoenix. Emmy added a new Nextel phone to her collection.

After swimming, and watching some TV (who knew that fuel prices had risen so much?), we got dressed and left for the Grapevine, a karaoke bar/restaurant. YAY! Emmy sang about a half dozen songs, including "Crazy" (Patsy Cline), "Pour Me" (Trick Pony), and "You Light Up My Life" (LeAnn Rhimes). Together we sang "Mama He's Crazy" (The Judds), "Sin Wagon" (Dixie Chicks), "Does He Love You" (Reba McIntire & Linda Davis) and "Somedays You Gotta Dance" (Dixie Chicks). I sang "You Were Mine" (Dixie Chicks) all by myself. I think everyone was impressed with how we sang... and everyone in there was so good.

We just got back to the hotel room and tomorrow we're going to the Arizona State University library, then up to Sedona and finally back to the canyon.

I get to go home though... over the 4th and I'm so excited. I get to go home for about 4 days and I absolutely cannot wait. Emmy's birthday is the 25th of July and then after that Robert is coming out to visit. And then it's home for good. :)

Goodnight all -- condolences to Bradley, who lost a member of his family today. Love you Bradley!
