Happy Saturday Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker 
Any fun plans for the weekend?  Nothing exciting here. Still no news from the DSHS so I'm taking no news as good news. 😊

Meeting friends for brunch today at PV Pie and Wine - don't think you've been there.  Great food.  And later tomorrow watching a little golf in FL and grilling up fish tacos with a friend.   You?
