Friends Fly In

Our friends, Laurie and Wayne, bought a home outside Phoenix a year ago.  Still living and working in the Puyallup area, they fly down occasionally to enjoy their new home with a pool.  They arrived yesterday, with fellow friends Carol and Gordon in tow.  We met them mid afternoon and enjoyed, for the most part, a wonderful afternoon in the sun and in the pool. 

The only downer was that Laurie, on putting on her swimsuit, was bitten by a small scorpion.  The scorpion had crawled into her suit as it was stored in her dresser drawer.  The bite hurt but no other complications were evident as Laurie continued to be her celebratory self.
