Special things

Gems from Karyn's house.


My favorite salt and shaker peppers

Little Wing with sea glass

Yes, it's the REAL McCoy!














My photo candy!


What is it about old stuff that draws me in? Like a moth to a flame. I can't get enough! Farm equipment, old and rusty - I could lay in the tall grass for hours on end and listen to its stories of days gone by!

Canyon de Chelly






Named Tsegi by the Indians and pronounced day-shay-yee, it is where the borders of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico all join together. Where the ancient inhabitants made their homes. Traversing along the sheer cliffs, its hard to believe that it was possible! Even watching the mountain goats climbing around made me nervous!

2010 Summer Vacation

July 1, 2010 and we're hitting the open road again! Why didn't someone remind me that Canada is tooooo far! Even over 3 weeks, it a long way to go. But what a great time to get out of the perpetual Tucson heat wave. We get no reprieve. Thunder clouds looming they refuse to give that soft sweet rain the parched earth is begging for. I can't wait, in the mean time, I'm going north. Canyon de Chelly - first destination. On the road to Show Low our mouths were watering looking at the beautiful watermellons so we stopped to indulge in some beautiful fresh local grown vegies and fruits for the trip. Also couldn't resist the vintage Thunderbird Motel sign. Their all over the state of Arizona and all so cool!


Better get back on the road!
