Fun with Allie & Brad

We took Brad and Allie to Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale for dinner. It opened its doors in 1958 and is decorated with one of my favorite colors, PINK! Allie and I decided we want a pink room filled with pink decor - with my pink couch and chair I'm on my way.

The menu is mainly ice cream...shakes, floats and sundaes with sandwiches such as BLT, burgers, turkey and tuna. They also have a light menu section with fruit and jello plates. What restaurant serves jello - love it!

You will also find through out the restaurant Family Circus by Bill Keane of Paradise Valley, AZ on their menu and in frames hung on the walls and placed on shelves.

We all had a good time - the ambiance was family fun.

After eating too much food we headed over to Scottsdale Lanes to bowl - which we decided none of us should try to be on a bowling league, but we had a blast!

Two hours later - I had a swollen thumb from it being jammed giving a high 5, the kids cell phones were dead, Tom's back was hurting, and everyone but Brad was exhausted - so off we went with an order of chili cheese fries to go. GOOD TIMES!!!!

Have An Open Heart

As I was sorting through pictures this morning I came across pictures of my seven-year-old granddaughter with girls that she met for the first time on a 2 day stay in Prescott. I was drawn to the smiles on their faces and the love in their eyes. They met, accepted each other, and acted as if they had been lifelong friends. Oh, how I had forgotten about the innocence of a child. The color of skin, the size of a body, the structure of a face does not matter. They are ready to accept and love unconditionally until we and society teach them differently. There was nothing but smiles and laughter as they danced, made beaded jewelry, and ate. They made sure that they all were a part of whatever they were participating in. They cared about each other's feelings and made sure that everyone was having fun and was happy. Why is it that we grow to become so obsessed with appearance and behavior of others that we miss seeing the light or the struggles in others? We're so q...

Fun At The Duce

The rain didn't stop us from having a great night at The Duce. The food was amazing, the DJ was fun, and I saw a lot of Arizona talent doing karaoke. One of the reasons I chose The Duce is because I love the ambiance. They have it set up with all the things that I grew up with...it's like a big playground for adults. The Duce is filled with ping pong tables, hula hoops, bean bag toss, punching bags, pull up bars, boxing ring, stationary bikes, foosball, karaoke, and a dance floor! There's also a little soda shop area if you want to grab a milk shake, and retail if you want something inspirational or vintage. Imagine a warehouse full of people of all ages having old school fun. Although we didn't get to enjoy the patio or order directly off the food truck due to the rain, it was a great night. After last night we decided it would be fun to do a family event there - the grandchildren would have a blast! Thanks again to everyone that came out in the rain, and to ...
