Here we go- you may notice a theme.
Welcome to Arizona- Feb 1st.
 |
| Road food, JUST for road food! |
 |
| Janet's short stay in Tucson included Peruvian food. |
 |
| Downtown Abbey comes to an end. Through the tears, I had scones and cucumber sandwiches with my brother and his lovely wife. |
 |
| Dessert was coconut bars, cheesecake and a French tart. And I thought I'd lose weight in Arizona...ha! |
 |
| Looks like high-end exotic chocolates. At least to me. |
Headed to Ohio for son-in-law's promotion-
 |
| Buying for Steve's promotion, Abby and I went to a huge international food market for... "what are we here for, again?" "Oh, that's right- cigars, aged whiskey,.... ooo, a aisle of hot sauce- Marines love hot sauce." |
 |
| Hey- where did this cutie come from?? Where's your brother? Not a great trip for pictures but captured this one! |
 |
| If you eat alone, chicken curry and roasted peppers by a outdoor fireplace is a great idea. |
 |
| And since it was Bill's birthday- I had a really gourmet root beer float for dessert. |
Stayed in a friend's guest house near the University just in time for the 4th largest book festival in the US. Thank you, Pam- it was awesome.
 |
| University District- walk to cool restaurants. Green tamales with scrambled eggs- wow and yum! |
 |
| My brother is a kid at heart. A really smart, kind and responsible...kid. |
 |
| Mom came down to Tucson. We had Easter together but I left before her 88th birthday. Looking good, Mom. |
 |
| Holidays- all about pie for breakfast the next day! |
 |
| I love this picture of my folks (on the right) with their skiing friends. Good memories of the '80s. Shirley now lives in Albuquerque and I stayed with her. |
 |
| NM- land of hot springs. This one in Jimez is great |
On the road to Colorado- it snowed as soon as I crossed the border. March 31st.
 |
| Local woman makes amazing burritos! Pueblo-good food, good friends. Thank Ron and Jeanine |
 |
| In Fort Collins with some of the wonderful men in my life, Richard Baker and his grandsons (I'm their honorary grandma). |
 |
| And some amazing Cajun food in Fort Collins.....it's all about the food. |
Home to South Dakota!
Where I...
 |
| Spread out some of the books bought on this trip- I know—it's an illnesses. But between the book festival and the great used bookstores in Tucson... |
 | ||
Surveyed some of my original art finds... another weakness.
After cramming a month's worth of appointments and meetings into two weeks,
|
 |
| this greeted me. |
So I ....
 |
| packed up the goodies I bought on the winter road trip for the kiddos, |
 |
| did a little bit of this..... |
 |
| and a little bit of that... |
And back on the road again!
Off to Bismarck, Seattle, then east to the coast and NJ in June.
The show goes on and on.
I am smiling smiling as I scroll through these :-) I love seeing photos of JIM - yes, you look like siblings! Richard is highly honored to make it into your blog and we are thrilled to share grandparenting with you....because we love you! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Kathryn! We are so looking forward to getting to see you again soon. We had such a good time in FoCo with you. As far as "what the traveling is all about". You are doing what some write about, but their take is: .......if I had my life to live over, I would .......eat more chocolate and ice cream.......etc. etc. WELL, by golly, you are DOING it, not just wistfully sighing about it!!! and you are doing it with friends. May your love of life be contagious as you criss-cross the U.S. Safe travels, once again. Oh, and Donna said I should repeat a comment I made to her, to wit: " I really like not only her content, but how she formats it and adds in photos". Your blog is fun to read, dear. Richard
