I have been blessed to take two trips to Scottsdale AZ with my friend Sharon and these are photos of our journey as well as of their home in Scottsdale. We drove through Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, California and, of course, Washington. It was a wonderful trip and we were BUSY bees to say the least.  I got to do and see some wonderful things. We bought fresh dates from a date farm on the way home and fresh Pistachios from California. YUM! The weather was in the 80's and 90's most of the time we were there and it was a wonderful second summer!! It was a false reality and had to end unfortunately as we came home to cool temps but the day we got home, the Lord blessed us with sun here too! YAY!!!! My photos don't do the house justice, and it is only in the beginning stages, as there is much decorating yet to do. But it is fun to have these photos and then to compare them to later photos after the work has been done. Sharon and Gary's home is 5600 sq ft and has 4 bedrooms, 6 baths, a great room, den, gourmet kitchen, exercise room, game room, bar, media room, wine room, all gathered around the center courtyard that has no roof, so you can sit out and enjoy the open environment. Floors are all Travertine except bedrooms with carpet. All counters are gorgeous granite. Backyard will house a gorgeous pool with waterfall, flagstone patio with built in grill, fridge and sink., cabana with misting system and fan. What a beautiful home.
