Adventure 821: Day 44/Tucson/2023

Black clouds, strong wind, and driving rain kept us inside for the day. We read, napped, sat by the fire, peeked out the window, and counted the drops that dove and fluttered off the roof like the doves that usually inhabit the space. So, not much in the way of adventure happened today except for dinner out at Scordato's, a pizzeria nearby. The dough was excellent, but I found myself feeling sad about leaving our pizza oven behind when we move. It's on the list of things about to change. Mostly, I've not been grasping at the things we'll leave behind. Rather, I'm looking forward to the new experiences we'll have when we get there. But I have to tell you, our pizza is pretty good. Tomorrow, life changes. Liz is heading back to California, hopefully with her sister in tow. Her sister, Jane, had planned on driving from Silver City, NM to join Liz for a little sister getaway. Unfortunately, an untimely snowstorm hit New Mexico  today. The morning will tell if the snow is impassable. Liz will leave regardless. It's been quite lovely to have her and our other buddies down here with us these few days. In other good news, our daughter, Libby, arrives tomorrow for a two day stay. She's on her way to have a "girls" weekend with her cousin, Stephanie in Phoenix. We'll drive Libby to Phoenix Saturday afternoon.  It will be fun to see her, even for a short stay. So as usual, life is good, especially today.

We decided comfort food and cold ones would scare the dark clouds away.
Oh, and we'll have pizza for breakfast, just like a bunch of college kids.


The desert is beautiful even in the dark light.


Can't wait to hug my favorite daughter.
