Another local business in Goodyear - West Valley Vision Center I was at West Valley Vision Center this morning for my annual eye exam and, given my recent focus on local businesses in Goodyear, thought it was a perfect day to blog about this one.   West Valley Vision Center has been in business since 1962.  I believe the doctor who originally owned the practice retired a few years ago and one of the other doctors is now the owner.  In any case, this year, 2012, they’re celebrating 50 years of service in the West Valley.  I’ve been a patient there since moving to Arizona in 2007.   The Optometrists at West Valley Vision Center provide everything from exams to detect and treat eye disease, prescribing corrective lenses, diagnosing and treating red eye problems and infections, allergies, g... 12/13/2012

In Goodyear Arizona, where to work out is not a problem. You’re looking around in the West Valley and you’re thinking about buying a home in Goodyear, but you’re not quite sure.  If such things are as important to you as they are to me, the thing that might sway you towards Goodyear is the fact that there are great choices of places to work out, both indoors and out.  When I was purchasing my home six years ago I had to check out the local YMCA because it was one of the only places to work out at that time.  I knew that there were other places being built but, in the meantime, would I have a decent place to go?  I tried the ‘Y and was really happy with the facilities and the programs offered.  It was in the perfect location for the houses in Palm Valley that we were thinking of purchasi... 12/08/2012

It's definitely "Why We Live Here Season" in Arizona.  The day started with our usual walk with our two dogs to our favorite coffee shop, Sugar 'N Spice, in Goodyear, Arizona.  It was the usual gorgeous sunny morning with a slight chill in the air but plenty warm enough to enjoy sitting out on the patio with the dogs.  The four of us share a cinnamon bun which we think are the best cinnamon buns in the world.  By the time we walk back home one layer of clothing has to come off already.  As soon as that sun gets high enough in the sky, the temperature rises.  We have to make a quick stop to pick up some more Christmas lights to finish this year's display.  Ever since moving here six years ago my husband loves putting up Christmas lights because he can do it in shorts in warm weather.  On... 11/25/2012
