We did get the monsoon winds last evening (and the pool, which was sparkly clean until then, definitely needs to be cleaned out again today) but of course no rain.  Apparently Mom got all of that, reporting that 3" fell there yesterday.

Because of the dangers of low (or non-existent) visibility from dust storms they were advising folks to stay off the roads, so Lisa wisely waited it out in Scottsdale. When she arrived here last evening we got a recap of her past week with Chas, Jeff, and Jeff's girlfriend Danielle (who is apparently "perfect for him".) The four of them stayed at Lake Powell during the week, but traveled the circuit doing all the 'usual' stuff (Antelope Canyon, the North Rim, Bryce, Zion, etc.) All of these are places which Lisa has already visited (some more than once), some of which Chas and Jeff had already seen, but NONE of which Danielle had experienced. She was born and raised on the East Coast, and before this had never been out here to the Southwest - so it was quite the trip for her.

At Antelope Canyon Lisa handed her phone to a tourist and asked him/her (she can't remember) to take a group photo.  This is what she got... and I promise I did NOT crop it!
