The Wild Wild West

I'm baaack! And needless to say fun was had by all...all three of us. Just me, Brenda and Phoebe also known as the Pheblet. Phoebe is Brenda's new 9 week puppy that came along for the ride. Here she is in the lap of luxury (Brenda's) while I drive to Scottsdale. This girls getaway was scheduled a long time ago before Phoebe came to be so we had to take her with us. And although the Hilton is a very gracious and accommodating Hotel, we had to smuggle her in, which was hysterical. Brenda hid her in a very big tote bag and the poor phoebs head stuck out half the time. Phoebe is a Klee Kai puppy and a very spoiled one too, but If I had a baby, I'd do the same exact spoiling...



Lots and lots of Cactus to greet us along the way and the gorgeous Red Rock of Sedona....



For those of you who are not familiar to Sedona, it is kinda known for it's Spiritual and Tranquil feel. Apparently is sits in just the right Vortex...don't ask, I don't get it either, but there IS something about this place that calms and soothes. We were surrounded by this...



and this...


We even ate at the Love Cafe and dined on a Abby Hoffman Breakfast Bagel...Phoebe ate eggs too!

We made our way to Prescott, or as the locals call is...Preskit and I absolutely loved it...more my style. The best part about the city is the old town and the square. It literally had that Mayberry feel to it. It is monsoon season so it rained and stopped and rained and stopped...all the time the sun shining through. We strolled in and out of Antique stores and ended up in an authentic bar/saloon from 1864. We also ran into some characters from that era too.




Me and Teddy Roosevelt in the town square




This is called Flash Street Theater. Who knew I had to leave Cali to see this...lol



All in all, we had a great time .Coming home we hit thunder and lighting storms, dust storms and 100+ degree temps, but us 3 gals stuck it out like Bedouins...lol My next adventure, Hawaii in 2 1/2 weeks....I'm excited...I'm Just Sayin'

Just a little note to let you know what's up and where I be. I know you worry your little blogs off If you don't hear from me (insert sarcasm) on a weekly basis.

Although the Fair is still going on, Raquel, our FFA and Small's part is done. Smalls placed 4th in Market and didn't place at all in Show, which is fine because.....wait for it.......Raquel was awarded another College Scholarship at an award ceremony. Every bit helps right?

Eric and I went to the beach yesterday and it was a beautiful day, although, I forgot the camera but trust me, it was wonderful. Especially when the dolphins swam by and play with the surfers and that one seal body surfed with a couple of people...yup, woulda coulda shoulda taken a pic.

Been busy creating tea candle holders outta shot glasses...ehh...we don't drink much anyways, (insert levity) so no ones gonna miss em'.




And now I'm gone to Scottsdale and staying in the lap of luxury here cuz the company pays for it...Brenda's company that is. I will be meeting up with an old friend from High School who wound up in the surrounding area, living on a reservation. And then, we will be traveling to here
for a few days of business, well, not me but Brenda's biz...my business is being the best friend ever...but I think she won. Oh yeah, I'll take a lot of pic (insert determination) because my camera's already in the car.....

See you when I get back (insert goodbye wave)
