🐝 Weekly Roundup - Issue No. 34

🌺 Hey There!
How in the world is it May already?!
So much is happening this month! Over here, we’ve got one graduating from high school and the other returning from his sophomore year at college. That also means some celebrating is in order, and I’m looking very forward to that!
It’s also Cinco de Mayo on Monday and Mother’s Day is the following weekend (Sunday, May 11th). In next week’s issue, I’ll be sharing local places to treat the moms in your life, but this is your sign to order your flowers and get those cards in the mail. 😉
Now let’s get into it, 🐝 cause…
The more you know, the more you go!

PATIO TOUR: MR. LUCKY’S 19TH HOLE

🌵 This is probably one of those places that you’ve driven by 100 times but didn’t even know it existed… Meet the neighborhood’s best kept secret!

FOR THE ❤️ OF DOGS
🦆 Meet Felicity — This Lucky Duck is lucky to be alive!
Felicity was found curled up in a ball on the side of a busy 4-lane highway. This 5-year-old Pomeranian has proven she’s as brave as she is sweet. Now thriving in her foster home, Felicity is a gentle, affectionate cuddlebug who gets along beautifully with kids and other dogs. She’s crate trained, uses the dog door like a pro, and even has full run of the house without a hitch—she’s that trustworthy.
Calm, well-mannered, and full of love, Felicity is ready for her forever family. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a tender heart and a resilient spirit, Felicity is waiting for you
Adoption donation includes vaccinations, neuter, microchip, collar, leash & toys.

5-SECOND FACTS ⏱️

SAGUARO CACTUS IN BLOOM
🌵 Nothing stops me in my tracks quite like stumbling upon a cactus in full bloom. It’s absolutely breathtaking to be surprised by these happy bursts of color. In fact, the blossom of the giant Saguaro Cactus was designated as the Arizona State Flower in 1931. I’d tell you to keep an eye out, but you won’t need to — these blooms practically jump right out at you, dancing on display, during the months of May & June.

THIS & THAT 📌
🕵️♀️ I was doing a little research about all the construction going on and see that Aldi is coming to Jackrabbit Crossings (Indian School & Jackrabbit) and Sprouts is coming to the southeast corner of Verrado Way & Roosevelt Street! There’s also a Home Depot going in near Costco! See all the “coming soon” projects/stores and the map here!
🌺 Speaking of new stores… I’ll be at Goodyear Civic Square (“GSQ”) on Wednesday, May 7th from 5-6 PM for the big reveal about which new business is coming to Goodyear! I absolutely love GSQ — can’t wait to see what’s next!

🍓 I’m blaming it on the wind, but wow, my sinuses are tweaked. I’ve had to rely on my trusty bag of tricks to get me thru the day lately. If you’re feeling it too, here are my favorite got-to get-well goodies: Immune Support (Raspberry is my fave!), Nasal Spray (ooooh weeee, it’s got a kick!), and this allergy medicine (yes, children’s liquid) from Costco (note: it’s only $7 if you buy it at Costco).*
