Oh well

I'm trying this again.  I had this almost done when I hit a key and it all disappeared.  So here we go again.  Had two pieces of chocolate so I'm ready to type non stop.
Since there is nothing going on at the park and we're just waiting for the dentist we decided to do some sight seeing.
Yesterday started out around 11 am after Ron dropped off his library books at the bookmobile.  First it was south to Tubac, 60 km north of Mexico.  I know that cause that's what's on the road sign.  That's how the road signs are marked down there.
Ron got his AZ red dirt dyed tee shirts and I picked up a bracelet.  If you've never been there it's a very nice artist colony with different levels of artisans on display.  Then on south to the spice store south of Tumacacori but, not being a spice authority I didn't know what to buy but they did have a hot sauce Ron likes but he figured we could get it cheaper in Tucson.
Then to Bon Wit women's dress store in Green Valley.  They had some beautiful tops and peddle pushers that would have been perfect BUT they didn't have a shirt the correct size for me.  Plenty of bottoms but no tops.  What a bummer, I was prepared to let Ron buy.  Oh Well, There will be another time.  On to WalMart to pick up some things we need to summerize the RV and then to Manuels for a nice Mexican meal.  We hadn't been there in quite awhile.  Our last trip wasn't up to their usual standards.  This time was better.
Today was a late start because I woke up not feeling well but it did pass and off we went to the Mission San Xavier del bac for the only time this season.  In spite of the heavy winds and dust clouds the Mission was still beautiful.  The inside of the church has had more restoration work done since last year and the colors on the ceiling are gorgeous,  we can't imagine the time and work put into such beauty originally.

After a quick trip to the gift shop and sales tax free purchases off we went for more adventures.
A stop at Fry's on Irvington for Ron's special hot sauce was without fruitation.  We couldn't believe there wasn't any so now we have to decide if we're going back to the spice store.  Thanks to our GPS we ventured farther north to Park Place Mall and a stop at Coach for a new summer purse, a coke and french fries at the food court plus a stop at Verizon for a quick lesson on how to make the time appear on the front of our phones.  Next stop north to the Catalina Mtns and Williams Sonoma.  After a quick purchase of an omelet pan we saw on email this morning a nice slow relaxing walk around the rest of the mall.  It's a beautiful outdoor mall with grass and trees in the center court.  Even saw an orange tree.  Walked by Tiffany's, Brooks Bros, Coach, Coldwater Creek and a number of other stores that didn't make an impression on old me.
Came back home and tried out the omelet pan for supper.  It works just like it's supposed to and made excellent omelets for us both.
Looking forward to cooler weather, rain and maybe snow in the mountains tonight and tomorrow.  Stay tuned to see if we're snowed in.

  1. Busy, busy people. Trying to get it all in before you leave for the season? We are planning a trip to Apache Junction and the Apache Trail before we leave here. Maybe Monday and Tuesday. Time is running short. How are the dentist appointments going?
