Touring around Phoenix

Today we did a trip to Cave Creek. I ended up buying a turquoise necklace at 60% off in Carefree - a little town next to it. We were looking for an ice cream parlour but never did find one. I ended up at Starbucks in Safeway to buy a regular coffee. I am the only coffee drinker here - well, after lunch anyway. John doesn't usually have coffee unless everyone is drinking coffee and socializing. I will finish the other half later tonite.

Yesterday we went to Jerome about 90 miles from here. It is a mining town (ghost town) actually. Quite interesting. We went to the Haunted House hamburger house. Excellent burgers. On our return to Phoenix we stopped at Sweet Tomatoes for supper. I love that place. Lots of salad, soup and a few light desserts. love it!

A little cool first thing in the morning: I was wearing my fleece and my quilted vest with my jacket!

It was a long walk up the steps but great hamburgers

Today as I said, we were at Cave Creek. We went mexican with food at this neat little restaurant. Very enjoyable

Lunch in Cave Creek on Wed
Tomorrow we are thinking of what we can do. Only tomorrow and Friday left as we leave Friday night. It's been a fast week. Weather is getting warmer and we are now going home. Wouldn't you know it. Oh well.
