Adventure 907: Tucson Winter Two/15

Tonight is the last night of a great week with Judy's sister Karen (Also known as Klink). We walked in the desert, ate much good food, played a few card games, volunteered at Cross Street, went to church, enjoyed the company of some good friends (David and Ginny Kral; Ed and Deb Drouin), enjoyed a concert in the park, checked everyday on the newly hatched humming birds, completed two puzzles, made some wire sculptures, and generally enjoyed our time together. We've been trying to convince Karen to stay a few more days, but she says she didn't want to start smelling like fish. We'll have to be satisfied with good weather, good times, and the ever present knowledge that life is good, especially today.

More rare than a unicorn, Miss Karen won every hand in the first game of Hollywood Gin. Judy threatened to make her sleep in the garage.

Our good friends, the Drouin's, are here for the week. We enjoyed a nice dinner at their Air B&B.

We walked a little bit in the desert. Here, the sisters are checking out a bird nest nestled in the prickly arms of a Cholla cactus.

We enjoyed some live music at Catalina State Park, played by a group known as Eric Schaeffer and the rest of the trouble makers.

Here the sisters are communing with  the saguaros.

Karen requested a wire sculpture of her and Rod dancing.

Of course, every Tucson visitor needs to enjoy a Sonoran Hotdog.

I think she liked it.

One morning, Karen whipped up this breakfast pizza.

And we lunched at our favorite taco truck, Nene's.

Finally, we had to align Karen's chakras. Like the Beach Boys used to say, "Good, good, good vibrations."
