Have I mentioned?

That we are going on a little vacation for the next week or so? Sure enough – my middle brother is getting married next weekend, so we are going out for that. We are looking forward to spending a week with family, enjoying weather a little warmer than we have here right now, and getting away from the daily grind, which, true to its name, has been really grinding both of us down a bit lately.

I get to do this, for only the second time in my life. Larry has never flown at all, so he is looking forward to his first flight. If our plane goes down in a spectacular blazing wreck, I apologize in advance to the girls, who will have to break down all those boxes in the spare room, and put them out for the recycling – I tried to get to it, but it looks like I won’t have time.

Going to the land of this – we don’t see a lot of cactus here in Upstate NY.I am really hoping the crabapple doesn’t bloom while we are gone, because seeing cactus will not make up for missing that.

We will get to go to this – the Ansel Adams exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum.I told my brother we are coming for the wedding, but really I am just using him and Jean as an excuse to go drool over Mr Adams’ work. We are going to Sedona too, but don’t tell them that – they will start to think the wedding is just a side trip for us.

It is a few days till we leave, and I have plans to get a recipe up tomorrow, and I will try to show off a few things while we are gone, but if those plans go awry, I will see you in 10 days or so. Hope you are really enjoying a beautiful spring wherever you are!

    Now see,
    That should be a challenge for you. A cactus garden in your parts!!! I hope you and Lar have a great time. And I like Ansel Adams too. His pictures are purdy. :)

    Okay – once I get past the fact that you have only flown ONE other time . . .

    Have a super time and I hope that you see your fill of Adams’ work. He is amazing!

    I absolutely *heart* Arizona. My husband and I lived there for a few short months almost 20 yrs ago, for some military training. Hope you and Larry have a wonderful time.

    RA – there are a couple kinds of cactus that are hardy here, but I am not that crazy about them. Got some on the house though! ;)

    Thanks MPM!

    Bizarre, I know Trisha – and the first time was only last year. We never go anywhere – real homebodies..

    Thanks Dawn – it really is beautiful there, though I would really miss the green if I had to lived there. I even like snow. Still going to be very nice to get out in the desert :)
