This past Christmas we bought a GPS knowing that we were going to take a cross-country trip down through Tennessee and then eventually west to Arizona and we wanted to be able to find our way home. If you have a GPS you have to give it a name because you find yourself talking back to it after it gives you instructions. Since ours came talking in a female voice (could have been changed) she needed a female name and in honor of the famous aviatrix who seemed to be able to find her way most of the time we named it Amelia.
With Phoenix now being the fifth largest city in the nation we have found Amelia to be a good traveling companion. There is logic to their system of streets here but the confusing thing is that once they name a street it sticks all the way across the city. The problem is that there may be big gaps in it caused by washes where flood waters go and where the street will never be connected. So getting to the same street over yonder at times can be tricky. Amelia also comes in handy to find the closest grocery, etc. Also of course the Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop, Deer Valley airport, and all those other good places.
It has been warm here with most days so far in the 90's and 60's in the evenings. Perfect for morning and evening walks around the neighborhood. The effort put into the Fletcher Homes area where Tracey and Anjan live have nice green spaces built in and the main streets are broad with beautiful landscaping along the streets and bicycle paths along most. Below is the main street into Tracey and Anjan's area.

Below here is part of the green space built into the area which provides a nice area for walking.
So far Rohan seems to like his grandparents. We know that his grandma (Manju) Charkrabarty and grandma and grandpa Ritzman love him a lot. Activities so far pretty much center around feeding him, holding him, diapers, etc. He is a good baby and is starting to take interest in his surroundings.
All for today.
