It certainly has been a while since I have written anything. Retirement is busy!! I loaded all these pictures, and they are backwards in time. OOPs. You get to hear the most recent adventures and look at them perhaps upside down because there is no rotate on this stupid site and although they are right side up in my gallery for some reason as I write they are wrong. Perhaps when I publish this all will be good and they will appear right side up and you can ignore the above rant!!
Well this is me a couple friends after our hike celebrating by eating Rice Krispy treats that another friend who couldn't make it because she got sick made for the trip. We just had to send the picture to her to let her know how much we enjoyed!!
The route for our hike was not long, but it was up and down and climbing over rocks and beautiful!!
Horses along the way scared the shit out of one of us as we rounded the corner not paying attention to the obvious sounds of their hooves on the rocks. Who talks that much on hike that they cannot hear that noise. After that 1st encounter there were 4 other groups of riders. What amazed me was that on this skinny, rough trail that people were riding these majestic animals quite expertly I might add. If I were atop of one of these it would have been certain death. To me this didn't seem like a trail ride.
The rock formations at Chiricahua National Monument were impressive. I didn't stop at the visitor to get a better understanding of these formations but will next time we go there and we will go there!!
Dick and I got to be honorary Canadians at the Canada party. At this resort they have a party sometime during the season for each state or place where people come from. Sometimes they have to combine states because there are not enough residence to justify a party. Anyhow it was great fun and fun to make fun of the accent.
While in Colorado I cracked and collected many shiny rocks. I finally did something with them. There was this old ugly tray that came with the house, and I painted it and arranged the rocks then poured resin over the whole thing and let it harden. I have no use for this thing, but it is pretty cool looking. It weighs a ton and would most definitely break your foot if you dropped it on it.
Glenn and Cathy (our yearly visiting friends) Came out for 2 weeks and we had so many adventures 4 wheeling, collecting more rocks, eating good food together, hiking and enjoying the warm Arizonia weather. They are from Wisconsin so they especially enjoyed.
Another beautiful sunset view from our porch.
Who doesn't love a good-looking dead tree!!
The diner close by has so many fun things outside for photo ops! The food is pretty dang good too!
The Crested Saguaro Hike will never disappoint our visitors. We have seen so many of these now that we know what we are looking for. So very different they all are and so super cool.
We drove up to the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere thinking that this rough road must go to something super cool. The view was the super cool. I do believe there had to have been something else that brought people up this road but there was nothing there, but a wide-open views which were amazing.
Glenn and Cathy stayed in our previous home next to our new home. It was kind of crazy to see what we lived in for years next to where we will live for the winters
Don't really know what this next picture is but looked cool when I took it I bet.
Our little princess Harriet visited with her parents and fun was had. Never enough time with this little cutie! We plan on visited Pennsylvania for a more extended visit this summer to spend more time.
We may have a drinking problem!!
Margaritas in Mexico!
This is funky fairy garden along a little hike. A tree with all kinds of funky things hanging on it that people put there.
Just another walk about in the desert 🏜
