Tucson As we drove south the saguaros grew taller and the mountains dustier. The road to Tucson was hot and gave us the feeling we were in a Western movie. We listened to Johnny Cash and watched thousands of starlings in murmuration. At sunset we found a quiet spot surrounded by mountain ranges on everyContinue reading “Arizona Pt. 3”

Arizona Pt. 2
Mesa & Thanksgiving. Our first evening in Mesa was a treat. Our friends made us cocktails, fresh pesto from basil in their garden, homemade bread, and let us take real showers. We were pampered and well taken care of. I felt spoiled every morning waking up to coffee on the porch and good conversation withContinue reading “Arizona Pt. 2”

Sedona The long two-way road that cuts through the desert is where I belong. The wide open spaces, the tall mesas, and the saguaros and red sand- my happy place.

Megan & Meeko
Meeko and I came together almost three years ago in 2019. She had been abandoned with her brother Finn at a gas station in Missouri. Their behavior and condition suggested previous abuse. It was Valentines Day during a horrible ice storm. We couldn’t resist going to find them to make sure they were warm. SheContinue reading “Megan & Meeko”
Arkansas
Prairie Creek, Arkansas Our first camping trip. Arkansas- the natural state. The description is in the name. The drive was quick and beautiful. Our first true test in the van had finally arrived.
