Mesa madness

We're enjoying the peacefulness that is Mesa. Sister Rose and hubs will head back to Kingman this afternoon after a week long visit and this morning is busy with packing up and changing sheets and taking inventory of depleted food and sundries. While mom is at church Rose briefs us on the health issues affecting mom. Nothing serious at the moment but at 80 something, has potential.

Breakfast was a buffet of blueberry English muffins and crumpets with imported jams. A gift from the Pats. Rose and I got identical gift boxes just prior to leaving so we both thought it would be lovely to share with the family. It was and we're still enjoying the English delicacies.

I've brought more food. Not one but two quiches. These were made for Christmas morning but were not eaten. They were easily warmed up and served with salsa and chopped cilantro. A wonderful lunch. No muss no fuss.

This afternoon has an important itinerary of football games and maybe a little shopping. Diet cokes have been added to the list. If not for the need of this very important beverage we may not leave the comfort of the couch.

Our internal clocks are off as is common when we travel. AZ is an hour ahead and we've not had a normal bedtime in weeks. Compounded this morning by the hotel clock that was set one hour ahead of AZ time. A full two hours ahead of CA time. Tonight we'll stay here at moms as Rose and hubs will be home. I look forward to unpacking, putting my feet up and reading the Bon appetite mag I threw in my bag. Meatballs are on the cover. "5 amazing recipes". I think I'll find out what is so amazing.
