vacation pics

take-off from winnipeg was exciting - especially with the thought of a warm weather destination! ... check out the winding red river at the top of the pic and all that snow covering the land ... it was a really good flight - both ways ... no turbulence, plus westjet ran absolutely on time - even a little early! can't beat that!!

as you can see, we did have good weather ... it was only after we left arizona that they got this terrible storm - lots of rain and wind ... and it was only when i was safely home in our condo that the snow started (and hasn't stopped!) ... i thank the Lord for His kindness in keeping me safe during my little vacation ...

doesn't this scene, taken on south mountain, look like a painting! ... i love the desert scapes ... soon the hills will be in bloom, because of the rain they are getting ...

i was able to visit with an old friend, who took me on some hikes (plus she lent me her bike and we rode around her neighbourhood too! ya!) ... that is me on the boulder trail at canyon lake ... i think i was smiling most of my AZ time ... i was so glad to be outside, enjoying a snowfree holiday ....

i couldn't get enough of the desert landscape ... i don't know what it is about it, but i truly love it!


while i was gone, leo and i chatted everyday  ... it was so good to keep in touch like that, i didn't worry about him ... and after a week, i was ready to go home and share all my pictures with him (which i've now done, i plugged a memory stick into the tv and we watched them like that!)

my last pic in arizona ... what a wonderful break ... the Lord is so kind to His children - and all the people said "Amen!"
