Last days, last looks ...

And ... time's up!  Today we're packing.  I did the last load of laundry and I've got the dishwasher running.

Last week was sort of trying.  Monday both Wendell & I had senior moments.  Not good.  Let's just say that that particular Monday was extremely Monday-ish!  Then on Tuesday night some low-life stole our entire TuffBox out of the bed of the truck.  (Of course we have $500 deductible so it's on us ...)  There was just a lot of miscellaneous stuff in there but my biggest disappointment was loosing two items I had just purchased in Tubac the week prior!  ARGH!  Wendell biggest loss was his tool box full of hand tools.  That will be greatly missed if we have some sort of mishap on the way home.  It was sort of funny filling out the police report; the officer wanted to know exactly what was in there and he was very thorough!  We came up with as much as we could off the top of our heads but of course now we're remembering stuff we failed to report.  Just not a good week.  We're putting that behind us but hoping that's not some sort of portend of things to come ... we have quite a drive ahead of us.

Thought I'd put some pictures on here of what we did the past week or so.  Then I might add some pictures of the interior of this lovely condo.  It's been a great place to stay!





These pictures were taken at Tubac ... that was a lovely day. It's a real "touristy" town but very interesting with the old Persidio, art galleries, shops and restaurants.
This was a lovely phenomenon we saw in the dessert. It wasn't quite a rainbow but all the colors of the rainbow were there in one spot.
Met my brother Don and his wife, Nancy, last week for lunch in Patagonia at The Velvet Elvis.  Really good place to eat, and here's a picture of the name sake ...


On the way home from Patagonia we went by this really neat wood corral ...
Just last Saturday we finally got over to Bisbee for their weekly farmer's market.  We sure wish we had checked it out earlier!  They have lots of tents in a great area and the music (group pictured here under a tree) was excellent.  We just may come back and stay in Bisbee next year ...


On the grounds of Ft. Huachuca they have regular "burns" where they burn the grasses and underbrush.  They did this one late last week.  We had wanted to go back through Garden Canyon but when we saw they were burning there we decided to not return.  It would have looked and smelled unpleasant ...  That's miles from us but looks like it's closer.

Well, that's all from AZ for this year.  Wish us luck on our journey home!
