Land of the Endless Sun

I live in part of the country where the sun shines constantly. I don't really know how the weather man keeps his job! 'Tomorrow's forecast is sunny and warm, highs in the 90's to low 100's'! duh!
But on rare occasions we have a few monsoonal type clouds which do make for a wonderful sunrise, but usually in the summer, its sunsets. Last nite for example, not a bad looking sky, taken from the road on our way home! Actually pretty awesome, worthy of a phone call to my skywatcher friend Neal. Of course he's in Arizona and not able to appreciate this sky! More'n likely he's enjoying the stars overhead Pinetop!

The swim towels have been gathered and being washed, the dishwasher is running with a full load of breakfast dishes (again) and the house is quiet, and I'm in nostalgia-land. As I have seen my mother do countless times through the years, when the family and friends have left for their other destinations, I am now doing! How odd, 30 years later I am doing for my grown children and soon to be grandchildren as she has done for me and my children, creating memories, that I hope too will carry into my grandchildren and great grandchildren. As I see in my mind's eye (don't you love that phrase) my mother doing, what we call, puttering. the picking up and reassembling the house which has been home for this short time.
We have enjoyed a brief visit from my extended family. And as always, too quick and too short, but how we savor our times together. Brett and Emily, thank you for coming and sharing your life with us! and oh yeah Trerex! how do you spell his name!? Photoging, swimming, laughing and of course eating!! Great times!!
We love you and look forward to our next time together! And Em, we are waiting for your blog!
