Enjoying the lazy, hazy days of Summer. Now, thru mid-August, we're trying to stay cool and enjoy our family and friends. We're heading to Scottsdale for a Paul McCartney Concert, then heading home to await our 4th of July Big Bang Event and son John's Birthday in August.

We've got house guests now and until we leave, but we'll be leaving home by mid-August for our place in the Adirondacks especially to see Fall

Watch for more updates thoughout the 3rd Quarter.

Real Bucket List item for me and my family. Got belated birthday gift for my wife's birthday. We, as well as our son John and my sister-in-law Eve, enjoyed it all.  Checkout my photo album for each photo and album, or view my video.

My video includes 2 hours and 12 minutes of my still photos and live video, enjoy

Time to enjoy Family and home, especially in the Outback.

Temps now heading for 100, and we're loving it all.

Adding more memories of our Summer sightings and home adventures over the coming months.

Summer ends for most on Labor Day Weekend, but in Tucson the heat remains.  We're enjoying life .. fun out and about.

Besides spending time at home, we're busy with our medical exams and spending time dining out.​

Early years are spent with school and work, and then it's building a home and family. As with most people, life is spent creating a life and maintaining it all.

As time passed, we tried to improve and setup our lifestyle to make the most of our home life.  We also did lots of traveling and entertaining too. Now, with age and health, we've slowed down and are spending most of our time between our 2 homes.

​Lots of memories with friends and family

The Golden Years is the time when we get to relax and enjoy it all.  Hey, we're retired now and spending our effort doing what we enjoy the most

Monsoon Season begins mid-June and lasts thru September.

Although we all love it when it rains, we really don't get that much .. only about 11 inches all year.

However, Tucson is the "Lightning Capital" and the thunderstorms are magnificent.

​We're enjoying lots of wind now, but little rain.

Nestled high in the mountains above Tucson, we enjoy Summer all year long. Despite living in a desert, our temps rarely rise above 100 .. with very little humidity or rain.

We dine out on occasion, but really prefer the peace and quiet of home and family.

We, and our companion Mr Lucky, especially enjoy seeing our gardens bloom and the feel of  the cool summer breezes.  Since we don't have Daylight Savings time, we enjoy the sun now until 8pm.

Checkout some views of our world.

Tucson's weather is basically Summer, all year long. And so, we love the great outdoors, spending as much time out as we can.

Paulina, Lucky and I enjoy it all .. especially our gardens and the Wildlife.

Even thou most days are very similar, we look forward to each day and enjoy it. 

Paulina spends untold hours watering and caring for the gardens, and keeping the bird baths full.

Since we both enjoy photography, we've got lots and lots of fun photos of our life and times.

We and our wildlife neighbors make the best of our peak Summer heat.  While mornings and evening are enjoyable, we all take to the shade during the sweltering afternoons.

I especially enjoy sitting out back and watching the wildlife .. lots of birds chirping and sipping from our pool.

I, too, enjoy cooling down in the pool and relaxing out.

Strolling around around our grounds is best done in the morning, while it's still cool. Temp's are only about 75.

Visability is usually 10 miles, and our humidity is almost non-existent.

Although it's still fun to be out and around Tucson, there really is no place like home. Dress is casual, meals are simple but we enjoy the peace and serenity of our home times.

Home and especially our gardens, now allows us to enjoy the simple life.

Paulina, Lucky and I spend most of our days out and about. Besides all the wildlife and beautiful weather, we enjoy lots of coffee time and seeing all the flowers and spring bloom.

Smelling the Jasmine, and other dessert freelances as well as listening to the melodic sounds of the birds provides for lots of peace and serenity.

Even our daily meals are more fun in the Outback. So, between our pool and BBQ's, we try to spend as much time as possible being out.

The warm temps, blue skies, beautiful sights, starry nights and simple life provide for the "best of times".

We'll be adding lots and lots more photos of our life and times.

Poem's are made by fools like me, but I've got art and music.

Mother's Day and I've had the best .. my Mom and my Wife (and mother to our son John and Mr Lucky, our companion).

Life is a journey, and I've had the best. Paulina and I try to do it better every day. And now, we're still working on it all .. home and family.

This weekend I created a photo parade to reflect on our life and times. As usual, we're enjoying home and family.
