Exclusive Beach Resort?...or Community Pool

Here are a few photos of our community pool. Now if this doesn't convince some of you folks to come and visit, I don't know what will. Seriously. The dry heat is really not that bad. It cooled down to 106 today and was really quite pleasant. (I never thought I'd be saying that.)

Our community has two pools. This one is a couple of blocks down the street and has a sandy beach. The other is only a few houses down and is a little cozier. I think we have been swimming 12 times in the 8 days that we've been here. It almost seems like vacation...minus the horrible hours and 30 minute commute.

Dusk at the pool...Perfect for a romantic getaway, or a desperate search for missing swim goggles.

Where we live

So, maybe it's just the area we live in- but Arizona is a lot more beautiful than I ever imagined. There are so many flowers everywhere- I took a picture of these on our walk by the lake across from our house.

Sunset on the lake, who knew- palm trees in AZ?!

I wish our home was one of the ones in the background. The people that live on the lake can just hop in
their boats and "drive" down to the grocery store. Maybe then the kids would want to come with me.
But, it gets better than that because one of the grocery stores here has FREE babysitting. Can you believe that?

A night shot of the place we are renting.

The only complaint I can think of about AZ is that our friends and family aren't here- so please come visit, SOON! ;)
