95 years old and still has a grip on all the ladies...

I was invited to share in Gabes Great Uncle's 95th birthday party... 95 years old and the man is out, in a 110 degrees dancing to the Mariachi music, not missing a beat. He was roping in the ladies to dance with him, once he grabbed hold, you were his for the remainder of the canción. It was such a nice afternoon, I heard a love song start to play and the expression in Gabes Grandma's face looked so enamored, that I asked if she shared this song with her husband and she said yes, it was their song. It's amazing what a song can hold for two people, it brings her a memory of her husband and the time they shared together,and though her husband has passed, she will have little reminders like this love song to touch her heart again. I enjoyed the afternoon of dancing, laughter, good food and great company as it ended; I am reminded of how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life. Thanks again Jesse for inviting me to meet your family, they are all so kind and welcoming, now I see where you get it from ♥

A little visit from Noahbug ♥

Although Noah is only gone for two months, we felt a mid summers visit was in order. We sure miss him, seeing him for a couple days really helped. We had a rough start, but after the little snag, we were able to work through and enjoy the weekend with the family. Xona is a little resort style staycation we found a couple years ago, they always offer the best rates. Every time we go, I feel like we are the only ones there, it's nice when your with a large group. That evening we introduced Grimaldi's Pizzeria to everyone, I think they have the best pizza and salad by far in the Valley. Grimaldi's also has a great atmosphere and you can't beat the price; Plus on your birthday, if you sign up on their website, you get a free large pizza. After dinner we took a walk around the Scottsdale Quarters, a nice place to enjoy the evening and some shopping. It was so nice to spend the weekend together, we had such a great time, Noah is so blessed to have such an amazing family that loves him... to the moon and back ♥
