Tucson, Day 2

Soni flew in last night!

Rozann came over and we visited until

it was time for her to go pick her up.

I woke up this morning and did a workout

and then made a big bowl of oatmeal.

Took a quick shower and got cleaned up.

By that time, Sondra had come over to 

Nancy's and then Mom drove over,

so everybody ended up over here

for a nice visit in my little living room.

Then we headed over to M&D's.

Dad was finishing their taxes, so we "helped"

and then he headed off to the post office

and we sat around and knit little 

kitchen scrubbies and visited.

Moved outside to the pretty back yard.

And then decided to go shopping

and out to lunch.

Nancy took us to this really neat little neighborhood.

Every house had this awesome courtyard

behind these beautiful doors.

There were lots of balconies,

cool windows,

the whole place was really beautiful!

I loved this place's outside lights.

Very industrial but so cool!

Then we walked over to a little market

and walked through some really eclectic little

shops while waiting for Michelle and the boys.

Once they got there we ordered a whole

variety of really yummy mexican tacos

and quesadillas and aqua frescas (fruit juices).

The boys got to share one.

They were so darling!

And then we walked on down the street

to an entire complex made of shipping containers!

There were shops and offices and restaurants...

it was really creative!

We did some browsing and then took a little sit down

while Sondra and Nancy went through a couple

more shops and then they went and got the car.

All of Tucson is in bloom!

A beautiful tree we saw on the way home.

We each went to our respective houses

and took a little rest. Mom and Sondra made a

big pot of spaghetti sauce and brought it over 

to Nancy's house and we had a lovely dinner

out in their ramada in the back yard.

There was much story telling and laughing

and more stories and more laughing...

It was GREAT!

And now we are all heading off to bed.

We are calling ourselves the Q-Tips.

And perhaps someday I will learn to

take a decent selfie.

But I'm not holding my breath.
