A lovely sunny day. Was delighted to hear from Frank. The GPS is great. Just plugged in his address and let the car do the driving. He and his lady Patty are renting a fabulous adobe in Phoenix. Quite far from Mesa but I have all the time in the world right. We went to a lovely place for lunch. Frank is quite a character and friendly. Talks to everybody. From there we went into Scottsdale to see another school chum Danny Rooney. Haven't seen hime since high school. He has been living in Las Vegas and recently came to Arizona. He flips houses so we went to see the current one. It is a simple 3 bedroom bungalow and he has done a lovely job updating it. Hope he makes lots of money on the flip.
Found my way back to the hotel but stopped first and got the oil changed at a Firestone place. Felt better that it is a nationally know shop to have some reputation. So should be good for another 5,000.
Wednesday Feb 3 Phoenix
Met with Carol again in the morning. I had researched many quilt shops to go explore so that was our game plan. The first place we met at was far east Mesa closer to Carol's neck of the woods. When I got there Carol was waiting but the shop was no longer there. Thanks internet. Abyway off to the next one. Nothing of any note. We went to several more. Saw some lovely fabrics and it is pretty easy to resist purchasing that (have plenty at home). We attempted another place in the north only to discover the building wasn't even there. We were close to a big shopping centre and stopped for lunch. Good food. We went looking for a 2nd hand store but no luck in finding that either. Had a lovely day with Carol. We said out goodbyes and will meet again in Sundre. I checked out a couple more 2nd hand stores and came back to the hotel.
