My good friend Nancy and I traveled out into the edge of the desert to have lunch with our good friend Betsy--we're all piano teachers.
The 3 of us: using the camera timer.

This couple, Betsy and her husband Stan, are both wonderful artists--Betsy at the piano, and Stan at several mediums: pencil, charcoal, oil, and acrylic. He's in several museums and galleries.
Here are some of his pencil drawings.
Exquisite! Their home's walls are literally covered with his artwork.
Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra.
This is the drawing for which he just recently won a prize at an art show.
Stan just had open heart surgery 5 months ago, then got pneumonia, then just last week had a cancerous growth removed from his neck. The poor dears are going through it, but I think Stan looks just wonderful for all he's been through. And Betsy is as chipper as ever.
Sun Lakes Retirement Community is quite the place to live!!
Very nice. There are several thousand homes here quite close together, two golf courses, and three clubhouses--only one with the restaurant, a banquet/concert hall, and a lovely library with very tall shelves and leather furniture like an old country manor.
Very nice.
The terrace next to the Clubhouse restaurant.
The view of the golf course from our luncheon table.
It rained a torrent for about 15 minutes.
