"ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE"

The introduction of THE TEAPOT: My daughter and her husband bought an historic home in the downtown Phoenix area. They re-modeled per the rules of phoenix on historic homes and got their Licenses to run a Coffee Shop and a Kid-Friendly Resturant.  https://www.facebook.com/theteapot.us/ Dad and I are so PROUD of their accomplishments! Then came the Wedding: They decided to hold their wedding and reception at The Teapot!  Jon's Real London Bus transported the Wedding Party to THE TEAPOT.  The gals and the guys.  Time to reflect! Happy Day! Leyland yes was in the Wedding Party! Little ham he is for photos! LOL! Wedding Practice. Raelynn took my Wedding Dress and had it altered by my request! WOW! Loved it! THE TEAPOT has a little English twist to their Menu! Yes GRANDMA makes and bakes the SCONES!

August is here with even more Monsoon Storms. Phoenix had one of those Dust Storms called, "Haboob"!  A haboob ( Arabic :  هَبوب ‎  habūb  "blasting/drafting") is a type of intense  dust storm  carried on an atmospheric gravity current . Haboobs occur regularly in  arid  regions throughout the world. They have been observed in the  Sahara desert  (typically  Sudan , where they were named and described), as well as across the  Arabian Peninsula , throughout  Kuwait , and in the most arid regions of  Iraq . [1]  African haboobs result from the northward summer shift of the inter-tropical front into  North Africa , bringing moisture from the  Gulf of Guinea . Haboob  winds  in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Kuwait, and North America are frequently created by the collapse of a  thunderstorm , while haboobs in Australia may be frequently associated with  cold fronts . The deserts ...

"YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH "  1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)  3. Add 5  4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator. 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1760 .. If you haven't, add 1759. 6.  Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number . The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week). The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!) Nothing better than some TIRAMISU with your coffee! Picture from one of my Cook Books.
