This morning I got a call from my mother to meet for breakfast at the Good Egg in Hilton Village. It was quite early, but I was already up and of course, diving into my new blogging efforts, so I said, "Sure!". My husband and I jumped in the car and took Tatum South to Lincoln through Paradise Valley and being that it is Saturday and early we had very little traffic so we were able to crawl the course with no complaints from other drivers. Being that we are both natives to the Valley we talked as we passed old homes on the mountain that we remember ever since we were kids passing on Sunday drives with our parents and mingled in were these soaring homes resiting on the mountains, but looking more like they were a part of the mountain than an obstruction to it. We wound around Tatum and went East on Lincoln, looking at the old La Posada (where great memories have been had) and saw the new structures being put up (I am still not convinced I'm thrilled with this new addition to the area), but still the new combined with the old seems to be working just fine. So many homes being reconstructed and older ones on those huge lots make you wonder the stories that unfolded from the families that lived there.
After breakfast I jumped in the car with my Mom as we headed to the Antique Stores and we took the route of Scottsdale Road, which I do drive daily, yet it is so lovely. Leaving Hilton Village we passed historic McCormick Ranch Lake (where I grew up/Chaparral High 86), commented on the old Chart House, approached Gainey Village and looked on as the landscapers on Doubletree were working away to make a new corner monument and floral arrangement. Just as beautiful of an area as I remember as a kid. The city of Scottsdale is like living in a permanent vacation locale. Don't get me wrong, not a HUGE fan of the triple digit weather, but todays course was one of fond memories and gratitude that I am in a profession promoting living in a community which I so adore and am in love with.
