Happy Monday - it'll soon be over and we're on our way to Friday again!
The kids only have 2 days of school this week. Woohoo! I'm over lunches and backpacks and homework for a while.
My ogre's back is much better. After 3 months of suffering, he's finally doing some physical therapy - Dana Jean - including hamstring stretches - neither of us knew how important that was. And the therapist told him how I should massage his muscles, so the lucky guy gets a massage from me every night. I'm happy to do it, though - he's not so cranky now, and he's feeling like he might be OK after all. Chronic pain sufferers have a hard life.
Y'all be good today!

Yay! Marsha's back! You were missed. Do you have a nice tan? Did you get to see that great big rose plant you were talking about?

Thank you to Flake and DanaJean, for keeping everything running smoothly!

2 more weeks of school for the kids. They are getting very anxious! Not much happening here today, normal chores and then either I dig in to the living room closet or my china. The living room is getting lots of attention this week because hubby offered to shampoo and there is no way I'm turning that down! I hate running that thing.

Have a happy Monday everyone. Sending big hugs and positive vibes to all!

Thanks! I do have a tan that is going to fade rapidly if the rain here keeps up. ;-D I didn't get to Tombstone to see the rose bush but did go to Sedona for a couple days, Meteor Crater, Winslow, AZ (mentioned in the Eagles song Take it Easy), and the Petrified National Forest and then just hung out at my place the second week after my cousin went back home. By the end of the last week I was actually getting bored so bought some yarn and made a scarf in 90+ degree weather but sitting on my patio with the sun umbrella up for shade. :smile: Here's my obligatory Standin' on the Corner in Winslow, AZ photo.

Loved the Meteor Crater. Not only that, but being alone in the desert at night, no lights for miles, and the sky ablaze with stars. You never see it in the city because of the light occlusion.

Is it true that Winslow plays the Eagles song at the corner?

(Going to a different song, I am sure that they hide it up in Telluride.)

Happy new week for everyone!! Welcome back Ms Mod. Great picture Mod. Sounds you had great time.
Been so hot here today. The temperature was almost 30C/86F an hour ago. But now it's getting colder to the evening. For tomorrow forecast
says rain. Been a lazy day for me. I've sunbathed, reading and relaxed. Tomorrow I'll try to wash my car if it's not raining of course.

Take care of you and be well. Please stay safe too.

(((all need or not)))

We didn't stay long--just long enough to do the photo op as we had a long day ahead of us, but they were playing Eagles songs (sounded like it was coming from the building on the opposite corner :smile2:) not just Take It Easy. The wind was howling that day and it was only in the '60s which made it a little less inviting to linger at Meteor Crater. It was hard to grasp the scope of how huge it is although looking down through the binoculars(?) at the replica of the astronaut helped put it in perspective. I think the altitude helps, too, although the lack of light has more to do with having the stars be so prominent and feeling much more like you can reach out and touch them. The daytime sky has that same quality to it for me, i.e. that the clouds seem so much closer. Maybe it's just me. :smile: The wind was wicked at the Petrified Forest, too, but I'm glad we took the time to go there. The drive back down State Route 77 was really pretty. The range of terrain (I think there's a better word but my brain is apparently still on vacation) in Arizona would probably surprise most people--or at least most of the ones I know--who think that Arizona is nothing but desert. Driving down 77 was almost like being in Maine (except the mountains are much higher) because there were "real" trees as far as the eye could see but driving up I-10 and then SR17 to 89 from Tucson to Sedona was desert and then red rock country and then in the Flagstaff area we could see snow on the mountain tops.
