We are enjoying our third winter in Mesa and finding new things to discover. We took a drive to Anthem, AZ which is north of Phoenix and out to Cave Creek where we took a nice little 3.5 mile hike in the desert. It is beautiful in the desert. They have not had enough rain so the desert is not blooming yet. The trails are pretty dusty, in fact our legs were covered in dust. Duke, being lower to the ground was breathing in the dust so he needed extra water! It wasn’t too hot but the first half of the trail was uphill so I was very happy to realize we made it to the top and were on the downhill side!
Keep walking! And, never look up
Saguaro Cactus' everywhere

The weather here has been even better than in years past so I have been frequenting the pool most days.
Spring Training starts next Tuesday although Paul and I have been working most of this week. Paul is a supervisor for the stands and this year I am going to be in charge of a stand! Not my first choice but it should be fun. I have a small booth that in a 9×12 area we cook burgers, hot dogs and sell as much beer as we can get! I have two taps and several kinds of beer in bottles. I am going to be in charge of 5 people! They better watch out! Actually, I told them at orientation that FUN is all I am interested in! We are in left field which is the party zone so I am expecting to sell lots of beer and having a good time! Batter UP!!!
