I was very slowly getting ambitious enough to fix some blueberry pancakes for brunch when I opened my email and saw a note from our dear friend Mary. She and her the friend Melanie (whom she's staying with) had come over to Fountain Hills to see the fountain and walk around the lake. She saw how close we are to Fountain Hills and wondered if we could come join them for lunch.
We knew that Fountain Hills was having a street fair this weekend and parking would be a bear. Mary checked on line for a restaurant that might have parking and also would be dog friendly as Melanie had their Golden Retriever with her. They found Phil's Family Restaurant that fulfilled all the requirements. Sure enough, they had parking right in front reserved for their customers. And Mary and Melanie had found a table right on the front porch.
What a delight to: 1. Put a face to someone we have heard Mary talk about - Good to meet you, Melanie! And of course, Phoebe, her beautiful dog. 2. Have a chance to get caught up with a good friend for a little bit. (We'll get in a longer visit this summer when we are all back in Washington State.)
We returned to the RV Park for naps and an evening of watching Professional Bull Riding in Kansas City and the Oscars. Since we had a big lunch, we had what the Mennonites call "faspa," a light supper of WSU's Cougar Gold cheese and Brother Patrick's venison summer sausage. It was another lovely day here in paradise.
