Day 29 Mon. Oct. 13, 2008

How wonderful life is. Last night we slept in a beautiful spacious bedroom, complements of George Berkner, a friend since college. It feels so good to adhere to an attitude of laziness and staying under the covers as long as I wish, not getting up to worry about doing how many miles on my bike today. The sun outside the bathroom window showed its brilliance through those thick glass brick walls, which provide natural light into the entire room. We have had the pleasure of being here before, but the experience is always so sociable, warm and inviting.

George possesses great taste in decorating colors. His paintings, prints and figurines all amplify a well designed home, illustrating the desert surroundings. Yes, I shall treasure another restful and compacted, eventful days here in Paradise Valley.

Part of today was spent on the phone, making preparations for a fundraiser at
Ruby Tuesdays patio in the Paradise Valley Mall, a few miles from here. Robert, a friend of George, Pam and George went out for breakfast, while I stayed to catch up on writing this blog. George cooked dinner for us and after dinner, Otto, another friend of George, stopped over to welcome us. We have met Otto several times before and it is always good to see both Robert and Otto again.

This was to be our only relaxing day.
