I miss Phoenix, AZ!

Here is when pink is not a pretty color! We're in the middle of an ice storm now. I should have stayed an extra week in Phoenix!
Bob and I decided to take a mini vacation this past weekend. We decided on Phoenix because having lived there before for over 10 years, I know that we could be guaranteed with some good weather and some good golf courses!
But sadly enough, when we arrived in Phoenix, it was actually cloudy and drizzling! On our first night, we had dinner with 10 other friends at the Pink Pepper restaurant. It was great to see some old friends again and to catch up. And it was also great that owner of the restaurant provided us with some free appetizers! The owner's daughter - Tiffany, plays on the FUTURES Tour and I see both of them frequently on tour.
On Saturday, after a yummy breakfast at the Orange Table, we headed out to Mirabel Country Club to play golf with Kiersten. Kiersten and I were traveling together during a mini tour in China in the summer of 2005. Kiersten was paired up with Bob in the pro-am and that's how Bob and I met. And the rest is history...! :-)
Mirabel was such a pretty golf course! The desert was green, the freshly grilled shrimp sandwich on #8 tee-box was fantastic, and the restroom facilities on the golf course had fancy tiles and mosaic glass windows!Sunday evening, being the eve of Chinese New Year (Year of the Ox), Bob and I went out for some noodles. Long noodles for long life, so they say! I ended up getting some Japanese udon noodles - which are kinda stubby and not so long. So hopefully it's the thought that counts :-)
On Monday, after our quick round of golf at Karsten Golf Course, we headed over to In-and-Out burger. Yes, we finally got to eat our cheese burgers! During our last trip into Phoenix a couple of years ago, it was a failed attempt and we weren't going to be disappointed again this time!
With our full belly, we proceeded to the airport and while checking in our luggage, the Southwest personnel mentioned that there was an ice storm going through Tulsa. The airport at Oklahoma City was already closed. We were thankful that our flight departed and arrived without a glitch. But what a huge difference in scenery from Phoenix! It was dark and gloomy when we arrived in Tulsa and I could see ice forming on the front of the wings when we were arriving at our gate. There were quite a few canceled flights that night.
And brrr... talk about COLD! And this morning, we had freezing rain and there is just so much ice everywhere!!!
