This weekend we had another little XOC get together- Elsie, Brabs and Wlfeyes drove down from Phoenix to visit me (and Annie!). We had a great time-friday
night we ordered pizza, talked about Xena quite a lot, and well, some of us embibed in some alcohol (the some who did not were Annie and Elsie). 
Apparently
I was "hilarious" (whatever!!!)
Thankfully, no photos were taken that evening.
Saturday (thank the gods I wasn't too hungover!) we went to the San Xavier Mission, which is a 200+ year old Spanish Mission/church out in the desert. "The White Dove in the Desert."
Here are some pics from that day:
San Xavier Mission
Group Shot! (from L to R- Annie, me, Wlfy, Brabs, Elsie)
Annie and me in the "candle room"
the "candle room" -statues and candles everywhere!
Annie
Desert cactus in bloom
The ceiling inside the main building
the inside of the mission:
more inside the Mission...(you can see Elsie on the right, looking up, and Wlfy in the background on the left with the backpack on)
In honor of Wlfy (even if it is actually a coyote!)
Saturday afternoon Wlfy and Brabs showed Annie a few self defense moves, which was really cool (and funny as hell) to watch! I think it's awesome for Annie to have the interaction from all of our various friends- each one brings something different. It's fun to watch them all bring out a different side to her.
Wlfy also enjoyed chasing Annie around all weekend, sending her into fits of giggles just by threatening to tickle her!
here is Annie "beating up" Wlfy:
Saturday night had an awesome (but late) spaghetti dinner with salad and garlic bread, and we tried to watch Harry Potter (and brainwash brabs into becoming a fan, muah ha ha) but alas, we were all tired and couldnt make it even to the Halloween Ball!
(next time tho sis! you WILL give into the dark lord- I mean,
dark side)
Elsie and I stayed up into the wee hours having some of those deep conversations that one can only have with Else!
Sunday we had french toast and sausage (made by myself and Annie), and had some more just goofing around time, talking, cleaning up, and then sadly, they had to leave!

Wlfy and Annie
Brabs at my computer! looking rather mischevious...what were you posting, sis??
Elsie on my porch
and last but not least, Gryffy my cat, sleeping in the same exact position he had been the entire weekend
