i'm home ....

well i didn't go to arizona to diet!!!!  my goodness, i was taken out to so many restaurants that i thought they would tag me with one of those heavy stickers at the airport!!!

it was so nice to just go outside and see flowers and palm trees swaying, rather than the bleak whiteness of snow .... i took my coffee outside every morning and enjoyed the novelty of no snow and warmth ... it never gets old for me!!!

the sunsets are always wonderful there ... i took this picture from my cousins deck ...

and the flowers and cactus are everywhere ... the above arrangements was right by my cousins walkway ...

but 2 weeks did seem like a long time to be away ...  it WAS good to be home again (even though i brought a cold & cough home with me) ... i think leo and buddy missed me ... i know i missed them and just my routine at the condo ...

i'm thankful for safety and for the many blessings that the Lord brought my way ... now the everyday feels special all over again!!!

winter vacation

leo is sending me away for a winter vacation - again ... i feel like the most spoiled of women sometimes ... he assures me that he will manage - and we do have all our 'helps' in place ...

so i shall once again be a very scarce blog bud ... blessings on you guys, as i go in search of palm trees and desert flowers ...
