Gosh, a whole week has passed already, during which we have zipped around a zillion places in Scottsdale, with the Texas Ranger planning our outings. He has done such a great job, with the help of Linda, and we have been everywhere, done everything, eaten everything - all in the company of two extremely fabulous friends! They fell madly in love with Booger (everyone has) & he's been photographed muchly....we went to Rawhide, a cowboy town/entertainment place where they have gunfights & all sorts of wild west activities - Booger got in on the act & was snapped with the sheriff's finger up his l'il nose! We've been to several restaurants with different themes I.e The Cheese Factory, where they had about probably 50 different kinds of cheesecake. A cowboy style restaurant which was decorated with neckties hanging from the ceilings, thousands of ties! Apparently they have collected these by simply cutting off the ties of men arriving at the restaurant for a meal. This place also decorated the restrooms with depictions of the rear ends of cattle!! Hahaha, we found that to be hilarious! We also went to a real Mexican restaurant which has been there for about 50 years. The food was authentic Mexican as was everything there, including a Mariachi band which came over to our table to sing happy birthday to Capt.Awesome (Wayne), who they renamed Panchito - that's gonna stick, methinks....I like it! Keren's birthday the day before Wayne's was also great fun - the Rangers took us to a special restaurant called Chantilly, which was like stepping into an English country garden - everything was pretty & dainty, & we each got to choose a beautiful cup & saucer for our tea, which we drank with the pinky finger up in the air! Genuine! We then continued on to the site of the last standing missile site where we went on a tour to see an actual missile in its underground silo, along with the whole underground set up for the potential release of a missile that, if fired, could have changed the face of the earth. There were many sites like this thru out the USA in the period of the 1960s to 1980s, deterrents to the Russians, but thank the Lord they were never used, but always on standby. It's now Saturday, 28July, & we're back in Vegas in Mark's home until Monday morning, so we're chilling today & going to see Cirque de Soleil tonight. Catch up with you soon, but will post more photos on Facebook as we go along.
