Saguaro National Park





















Yesterday was a "picture postcard" perfect day! Deep blue sky, sunshine
and temperatures in the 70's made a great day for a hike. Friends invited us along for a 3+ mile hike in the east part of the Saguaro National Park on several different loop trails. It was quite an adventure with several wrong turns - the map did not agree with the trail or the trail signs and the trail signs were hard to figure out. The desert scenery was beautiful - so many kinds of cactus! One huge jack-rabbit hopped across our path and the birds were singing. It was a wonderful day and everyone slept really good last night!

Enjoying Life

We are enjoying sunshine and warm afternoons here in Benson. However, it is in the 20's in the morning. Arriving at Valley Vista was like coming home - everyone welcomed us back and of course had to see Cookie! The staff here is outstanding and friendly. Tomorrow we are headed to Dennys early to wait in line for free Grand Slam breakfasts- at
least there is a Dennys in Benson and we are sure that all the retired people will be there with us. Anything free brings them all out! We have to post a picture of our new adorable granddaughter, Zoe and her friend!
