| - The Beautiful Carin and I accompanied the adorable DeeDee Anne to the park this morning, and what a nice day in the park!
We really do love this place and there isn't a week goes by that I don't get over here!
Sometimes to take Deedee for a stroll (just to be clear...I always make sure that I pick up after her...we are very conscientious about our "leave behinds"), sometimes it's for one of the many events in the park (Culinary festival next week...oh the eating and eating...ahhhh), sometimes to go to the library or SMOCA or the performing arts center (under reconstruction right now, but a really nice venue and I'm sure even better when they finish remodeling), or one of the great little spots that adjoin the park (AZ88, Orange Table, etc.). How's that for a world class run on sentence?
There is always something interesting and pleasant going on in the park and this morning was typical...a couple of photo shoots in progress, young couples with their kids enjoying the morning, lots of people with their dogs, a couple of musicians (one guitar and one flute...different ends of the park, so that was good).
The ponds are delightful, with ducks and swans (and the big lake has been cleaned so it doesn't smell...nice touch!).
This place is really a serene oasis, and Scottsdale's "front lawn (BTW, McCormick-Stillman is the "back yard", you know, the one down the block owned by the guy who has the train set in the garden).
Scottsdale really does a great job keeping this park up, and it's a great place to relax and recharge.
