Condo from the river


I even took a picture of my complex from the river while kayaking. Rindy and I are trying to find a day to rent jet ski's and I'm looking forward to that.

Kayaking


I finally had time to do something fun. I went kayaking with a group from the Riviera Baptist Church that I'm going to. It was fun!

Preparing for the monsoon




I didn't realize Arizona had monsoon season until after I moved here:-) They do from June - Sept. I guess it's a good idea to cut back all your trees for the big winds that come through. The complex had a crew come and it took about two weeks but they trimmed the palm trees way back. Here is a before and after shot so you can see what I mean. See how much smaller they seem now - not the same exact trees but you get the idea.

Cute end table and phone stand




Entryway table and end table




TV, console and end table for the condo


I needed a new TV console and TV, but when I went looking for something inexpensive (like Walmart) I just couldn't find anything I liked. So I went to a furniture store and found some really beautiful pieces - called Sunny Design. It is oak with tile enlays. I ended up buying a lot more than I intended too, but it's so pretty that I figured I might as well get the matching pieces. The TV I did find at Target for a decent price.
