Man's best friend

It seems as though the majority of our time this winter will be spent in the Greater Phoenix area. Our current house sit is in the North Mountain area. Our December one was in Peoria, with the lovely poodle, Fanci. Later we'll move to North Scottsdale, yet another Phoenix neighbourhood, to spend time with our new friend, Harley.

I find it fascinating that the Greater Phoenix area, with a current population of 4.3 million, covers 2,000 miles, one quarter of the size of my birth country, Wales, which has a population of just 3 million people. One of the things that impresses us about Phoenix is its great infrastructure, including the link roads around the city. We really do like it here!

Our homeowners, Val and Kathi, in Mexico

Our happy homeowners sent us this photo yesterday, of HER catch (the fish I mean, not the husband!)

The tres amigos, Shiloh, Jake, and Zena, are looking forward to them coming home. Today Greg and I ate more of the yellowtail fish that Val brought us earlier this week. That, and a fresh orange ... life is good!
