Reconnecting

We loved the drive from Yuma to the Tucson area.  Traffic was light and the sky was big.  In less than four hours we arrived at Bill and Sandy's home and Kirby backed in to their yard and we hooked up to power.  We decided that since the yard was so level we would just leave the truck hitched up as we will be moving on today.

We tried to decide when was the last time that we saw each other and came to the conclusion that it was about 14 years ago.  But, you know, when you are friends, you are always friends so we just picked up where we left off all those years ago and had a blast.  We also decided that not one of us had aged a day!

We had our dinner outdoors as the weather was so awesome.  I feel sorry for our northern friends who continue to have cold and snow.

Here they are looking just like they did all those years ago.  I love these guys and am so glad they invited us to come stay with them.  Freckles, their Corgi-Cattle Dog did not welcome Jake into her yard but she did not stop him either and they enjoyed sniffing each other.  They rescued her just a few months ago and she is a great little girl.

I have always known that Sandy is very talented and crafty but this time I got to witness it myself, get tours and samples to look at.  Sandy and her mother, who lives in a small house on the back of the property, do Scrapbooking - and in a big way.  They go to retreats, take online classes and Sandy also teaches it.  I was so impressed with her talent and with her studio.  She also knows how to make paper which is something I would like to do one day.

We will be moving on in a bit to our next stop - Catalina State Park.
