Lots of football today, but I took time to grill a ribeye steak (bone-in) to compliment Verna’s baked potatoes and poached asparagus. What you see here is actually two meals since we split it and still had leftovers. Click on the image to enlarge.

My New Arizona Concealed Weapons Permit
After only a 38 day wait, my Arizona CCW permit arrived in the mail today. The DPS website says expect up to a 75 day approval cycle, so it arrived in about half that time. Verna’s permit did not arrive yet, so we’re still waiting on hers. We hope it shows up within the next few days.
Even though Arizona is a Constitutional Carry state, Verna and I got our CCW training so we can carry in the 32 other states that recognize Arizona CCW permits. There are also several perks within Arizona, like being able to carry in restaurants that serve alcohol and the background check to purchase firearms is waived for permit holders.
More Good Life in the Spa
Last week, Verna posted a picture of me enjoying the spa. Today, I returned the favor. Click on the image to enlarge.
Wildlife in Our Yard
We have seen several types of wildlife in our yard since moving to Arizona. We see quail, jackrabbits, cottontails, lizards and squirrels almost every day. Less frequently, however, we see javelina, coyotes and one time spotted a mule deer bounding across the back of the lot.

I snapped this photo of a single javelina visiting our back wash area at about 7:30 this morning. I previously posted about javelina in our area titled “Living with Javelina“.
Pasta PrimaVerna
Verna took some ideas from one of the Food Channel chefs and whipped up this wonderful chicken/zucchini/asparagus fettuccine Alfredo which we dubbed “Pasta PrimaVerna.” Excellent!
