Last Saturday, I spent a wonderful evening with my good friends Julie and Dave at their new house. They are still doing quite a bit of work to the house, but Dave's favorite room, the wine cellar is ready to enjoy. And so we did! We had wine and light bites in the wine cellar and to adjust to the cooler air in this temperature controlled room, we donned sweaters and jackets that Dave has carefully stored in the room for such occasions.
In addition to their collection of wines, Julie and Dave have added some artifacts and books to the room, many of them souvenirs from their extensive travels.
After watching the sunset, I whipped up a pasta dish for our dinner. I love to cook and Julie's large kitchen is a pleasure to work in.
By the way, Julie and Dave said they should have enough work done on the house by July to have time to begin posting to their blogs again.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. Today I'm contemplating some future space travel.

What a gorgeous home, and a gorgeous site! I thought it was strange that someone would be wearing a padded vest in Phoenix on May 31! Sounds like a wonderful time.
I was wondering why he was wearing a quilted vest in Phoenix in late May!
Looks very nice and I know that must have been a tasty dinner because you make such delicious gourmet meals.
BTW, did you get my email?
Your dish looks fantastic. What a view!
What a view they have! I love the look of that pasta - lots of tasty bits in there, Sharon!
I can see why this is Dave's favourite room!
Wine cellar done? Maybe the house is complete.
Looks like a beautiful home on a great site. They must have a wonderful view of the Valley of the Sun.
Hello David! Your home is stunning (and I'm famished so I wouldn't mind eating that plate! :-))
Ok, not the plate. You know what I mean!
A nicely organized wine cellar, and what a view outside!
I'm happy to have a peek. Their old house was awfully nice - hard to imagine what would be better. Hope we get to visit ourselves one day.
Hi ot Julie and Dave. Hope that you folks don't get frostbite from staying too long in that cool wine cellar!
Quite a cozy home and a wonderful view. When friends, food, drinks and view meet, what a treat!
