[slideshow] I remember the first time I saw Castle Hot Springs Resort. My husband and I were on a Sunday drive as a newlywed couple. He knew where we were going and I was just along for the ride, enjoying the scenery. We were rambling along on a decently maintained dirt road about 15 miles [...]

MIRAZOZO and more
The Architects-of-Air are back with a new creation: MIRAZOZO. When you step inside the inflatable colored chambers of red, green and blue, you instantly leave the cares of the outside world behind. MIRAZOZO is similar to AMOCOCO (that I also blogged about last year) but this structure seemed slightly more angular and has these amazing [...]

Farmers’ Market frenzy
When you live in the Valley of the Sun January-April is a glorious time. Not only is the temperature near-perfect but it’s Farmers’ Market season. No matter where you live in the Valley, chances are you are not too far from a market at least one day of the week. One market that I frequent [...]
The Copper Chopper
There she was…glistening in the setting sun like a supermodel with cameras flashing. I approached her, having read so much about her, and now she was in front of me. She was even more beautiful in person. I felt like I knew her, because I had closely followed her rise to celebrity status. It was [...]

I have received several ideas via email this week that I would like to share with parents or any couple that would like a romantic (and unique) getaway. [...]
They’re back….
Mylan and I were channel surfing last night and saw a commercial for a new reality show called “Infested!” on Animal Planet. This particular episode will feature the horrors of living with a scorpion infestation. I looked at Mylan and said, “We haven’t seen one of those for a while.” I should know better. It [...]
Bye Bye Birdies
It always seems like we have to complete a major project when my husband and I have some time off. Last year we completed an overhaul of our master bedroom and installed a wooden floor. This year we decided that it was time to sell off our flock of lovebirds. Now we had been gradually [...]
There’s gold in them hills
Because my husband’s new hobby is lapidary (which is actually not a new hobby, but one resurrected from his youth), we decided to take a day of our holiday vacation to go rock hunting. We consulted the book Gem Trails of Arizona and found what seemed like an abundant site of minerals outside of Wickenburg. [...]
