I posed briefly with “Huey,” the Humane Society mascot at their booth on Saturday at the 19th Annual Fly-in and Classic Car Show. Good show with lots of classic cars and airplanes. Click on the link to see a slide show I prepared for the other blog. Click on Verna’s photo to enlarge.
This summer, the monsoons wreaked havoc with the road in front of our little house. It ran like a river at times and eroded much of the compact soil away, leaving sand, ruts and the sewer heads exposed.
Yesterday, a crew from the town came out and mostly fixed those problems with a water truck to dampen things down and a road grader to redistribute the new dirt brought in to fill in the roadway.
It looks fine now, but monsoons will come again. Click on the image to enlarge.
Bob and I went into town last week and played like we were tourists. I visited several of the little shops in the area and we had lunch at the best Mexican restaurant in town. I took lots of photos, one of which was the “Thanks for the rain” bronze sculpture at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum. The sculpture is by famous cowboy artist, Joe Beeler.

Guess who got to go to the dog park today and splash around in the water tub? Meeeee! Click on the Mama’s picture to make me big.
Just another beautiful Arizona sunset as seen from our courtyard. Enjoy! Click on the image to enlarge.
We officially retired from the aerospace mill four years ago. We traveled some after the big day, often coming to Arizona to see the sights and to build Verna’s Dream Home. The banner above contains a slideshow of some of the photos Verna took while on the road and also two astronomical events; the Great Annular Solar Eclipse of May 20, 2012 taken from Page, Arizona and the June 5, 2012 transit of Venus across the solar disc. Click on the banner and images to advance the show.
