Quick trip to Tucson

Denise invited me to accompany her on a quick trip to Tucson to visit her sister Betty and husband Dale. So we left yesterday afternoon and hit a couple quilt stores on the way and then arrived at Betty and Dales house. They hosted us when we visited Vermont a few years back so it was nice to see them again and see the house they were talking about buying at that point in a little town southeast of Tucson called Green Valley.

This is Betty and Dale and Denise out on their patio overlooking the wash where they see lots of wild life. It's been neat for them to experience the desert which is so different from their beautiful Vermont.

I took this photo looking the other way of their view of the mountains south of Tucson, lots of snow on them so it was so pretty.

They had a nice dinner waiting for us to arrive and we enjoyed visiting in the evening with them. We got up the next morning and went to some garage sales, and then took off for our return trip via a couple more quilt stores !

Was neat for me to see this area and how it has built up. Had a nice ride home thru Florence since there was alot traffic messes on the interstate.... and we had to try these cupcakes after lunch. Denise is looking to create the perfect cupcake recipe so we sampled this special bakeries cupcakes, and decided they were not in the running, they were so pretty but they'd used Almond flavoring in everything so even the chocolate tasted like almond...not what you expect if you are wanting chocolate! But we arrived home safe and sound and enjoyed a fun 24 hour trip !
