seeing more sights in Arizona

Olive Mill Restaurant (and farm actually) is located about a mile from where we're staying, and their
reputation as a unique place draws a whole lot of people.  We were late in getting there, maybe 1:30 PM, and the parking lot was pretty full of people, most eating lunch, but many just buying Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a variety of other olive presentations.

The shelves are stacked with numerous EVOO options, although the bottom shelf was empty, probably because old folks don't like bending down that far.  Our lunch was delicious, and Lonna wants to replicate their garlic balsamic dressing so she can have it at home.  I enjoyed a HopKey IPA and then we checked out all their retail goods.

Great Clips was a  half-mile away and since we were both ready for a clipping, I checked their website and found the wait time was "0" minutes.  Well, Lonna got in right away but I had a short wait, but no matter, we got what we came for.  You'll notice the finished product on the left looks pretty much the same as the model haircut on the right, and both parties seem happy about it.

So then it was on to a neighborhood we had read about - where we discovered the view to be very nice.  Imagine stepping out your front door every day and being able to see that mountain not too far away.

The back yard features a similar view from poolside.  We don't have that in our rental, but oh well.  It's not worth 15 grand.
