Today was the day we found pelicans in the desert! Upon waking in the morning and having a lovely breakfast at the hotel we made some plans for the day. None of which included pelicans in the desert! That was my surprise and delight for the day. At the end of the day, we needed […]
And we are off to destinations known… Arizona here we come. The first stop is Phoenix than on to Fort Lauderdale. We arrived early at the Victoria airport and with time for a meal and a nap. No rush… no fuss and the same in Seattle. Arrived in Phoenix at midnight, rented a car and […]
We started the morning in Nogales, headed to Patagonia and then life took an unexpected detour. Let’s back up a bit. On Saturday (today is Monday) Rob was concerned about some containers that were coming in and was fretting about maybe coming home early. So, we booked a flight home for Tuesday as the containers […]
We left Casa Grande and headed on down the road to Nogales, AZ and arrived this evening to watch the sunset from the hot tub. Our first stop was Picacho Peak State Park which we have stopped at before. As the park attendant was taking a look at our park pass I could see out […]
Spending the day in the Verde Valley was like coming home. We visited all the wonderful places that we’ve been to before so this post won’t be very long as I’ve already written about them. Most importantly it was Rob’s 67th birthday. Looking good!! We packed up the car this morning and heading for Montezuma […]

Here is a short snippet from the Prescott website: Though a smaller sized lake at 15 acres, there are many ways to […]
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be travelling stress free? The trip from Victoria to Phoenix was nothing short of miraculous. Flight left at 1:25 pm boarding at 1 pm. We got to the airport in plenty of time and found a parking spot in a crowded lot close to […]
I’ve finished planting my garden, deciding where veggies should go in what raised bed based on crop rotation and this year I’m even taking into account what plants grow better with others (companion planting).
