Work Day??

Well today was my meeting day, so we had to get up early and travel to Phoenix. The rush hour traffic is something else here. It's like all of GP is on the road right with you, add to that a little highway construction and a couple of accidents and you have a regular big city experience. Six or eight lanes of traffic in each direction, 65 mph and multi-level overpass. The GPS was great, took us right to the office. At the Stantec office they had a conference room and call set up for me, it was great. They were expecting me and even the receptionist was aware of who I was; very accommodating. At the end of the call Diana went over the provincial cabinet changes, as it is a provincial board & our minister changed. I learned that Frank Oberle got a big promotion and is now a minister in the Stelmach govt. Well done Minister Oberle! Marg came along & as it was a 4 hour phone call, she went shopping to Arizonza Mills centre. They are all outlet stores, including a Saxs 5th Ave. Marg said it was a mile around all the stores, let alone the walking thru them. She was like a kid in a candy store, but when she picked me up, she was all in. Great job navigating Marg, but then again it was an outlet mall - LOL! I think she got some good deals & certainly enjoyed herself. I worked thru lunch, so on our way back we stopped at Souper Salad & it was great. By the name you know the gist of their offering, but there was almost everything you can imagine in those 2 areas. It was a nice day, but not hot like yesterday, only about 72F. By evening it clouded up and we had lots of thunder and a pretty good rainstorm. I guess even that cactus needs some moisture. Busy day tomorrow, inter-park pool tournament & we have to check out a place where the Proulx's may stay in Feb. Chomiks called to say they are coming over on Saturday from Lake Havasau with their motorhome.
