RIGHT NOW
Hubby is in his happy place- aka the AZ desert
Thing 1 is sleeping- as he doesn’t start work until noon
Thing 2 is on the east coast- prepping for a relocation move
Which leaves just me and the cat…who is pouting because his preferred human is out-of-town (boy will that feline be upset when a 4 day visit turns into forever)
I’m loving…that the first travel adventure of the year went off without a hitch.
After a few years of trial and error- we originally agreed not to leave for AZ until after the MLK holiday weekend. Getting there any earlier and the weather can be hit or miss....overcast/windy without the "just right" warm winter sun that we snowbirds crave.
We found ourselves rethinking things- as cabin fever hit us pretty hard in December-and we decided to take a chance that the mild winter CO was having-was extending to the desert SW.
A gamble that paid off indeed!
For me the trip would include---
Wrapping up some unfinished business..
As we returned Sammy to New Mexico
recognizing that we just aren't meant to own vehicles that
involve ongoing tinkering.
Sunset cocktails and siestas
When the sunset potential is "meh" at best...you just make it a double
and catch a pre-dinner snooze
Coffee and cross stitch
After we returned the Sammy- we decided to go "tow-less"...
which worked out great- I had no where to go and all day to get there..
leaving me with plenty of time to stich the day away
Checking in with our furry friends
Be it Gracie- of Fountain Hills
or Pinky of Meadview...
It was wonderful to catch up with them and their lovely humans
(Cousin A and the Zs )
Lended a helping hand ...
from supervising flooring projects
to encouraging Vegas shenanigans
There were treats to be savored..
Iconic views to be enjoyed
cultures to be celebrated
and friendships to be deepened..
May we all slow down...
I'm feeling...Nourished! Which is good- as that is indeed the theme for this year, isn't it?
Until Next time
and take in the views
and find a way to
soak in the warmth of a life well lived..
