We lazed around, drinking coffee, showering, catching up and talking about kids and grandkids. Promptly at 11:00 (Dell is in charge of scheduling, so there is a certain punctuality) we loaded up the red Ford Taurus and headed for Scottsdale. We met our friends from Omaha, Jan and Frank Hrasky who spend the first three months of the year in Fountain Hills, AZ, at the First Watch Restaurant. This is a chain operation out of Sarasota Florida, of which there is one in Omaha. Great breakfast/lunch food, including today’s eggs, potatoes and toast, sausage biscuit and gravy, waffles and eggs, and a special sandwich, the BLT&E, which is a BLT with an over-hard cooked egg on each half. I think I have now found my new go-to sandwich!
We really enjoyed catching up with Frank and Jan, as we rarely see them in Omaha - but always see them when we visit Dell and Karen. After lunch we bid farewell and head to our favorite store in Scottsdale, Copenhagen Furniture. This store is huge, chock full of Modern and Scandinavian design furniture. We spend over an hour wandering, daydreaming, and getting ideas for stuff we probably never will buy or make but giving us great dreams.
Then back to Anthem in time for a nap, some reading and afternoon cocktails of Aberfeldy Scotch Whisky and Dirty Vodka Martinis. Promptly at 6:00 (Dell again) he puts the hamburgers on the grill and we enjoy the burgers and a salad. Then Dell and I climb into the hot tub spa for a wonderful warm float - kind of looks like a couple of onions pickling in sauce.
We then spend the rest of the evening watching the Democratic returns on this Super Tuesday, retiring at our normal 9:30. We are an unexciting and predictable bunch, but the weather was perfect all day and we had a very restful time.
