Let me introduce you to my Arizona kids, Lara and Em. They're the reason I'm always so anxious to visit Arizona. Other than when Lara was in college I was never separated from her and had never lived away from Em after he came on the scene almost nine years ago, until, of course, my return to Texas in late 2010. I had a grand time on my desert visit and this pic was taken after my good walk with my good friends featured in the previous post. While I was out having a little camera fun they were getting their faces painted at a picnic. Em's cardinal (Phoenix Cardinals, you know) is a very showy piece of art and he got many envious stares while we were stuffing Red Devil pizza down our throats in celebration of Lara's birthday.
I hope to return to my usual blogging schedule in a few days. A vacation means some extra work upon return and I'm preparing for a big family reunion this weekend, the first for our family in 11 years. I'm planning on meeting a bunch of folks I've never seen before!

Aww! You will have a wonderful party, I'm sure:-)
What a wonderful shot.
Well, I'd say those two are very good reasons for coming back to Arizona. Have fun at that family reunion. Meeting some relatives for the first time should be fun.
Love seeing your daughter and grandson, Kathy. Glad you are back safe and sound. The family reunion sounds like a ton of work and also much fun.
They're beautiful, Kathy! You should be very proud of them. Enjoy your family reunion.
Nice you get to go and see all.
Be safe. Bring back lots of pictures.
We had a great time with you here... It's always too short of a visit. Your room is always ready for you. Xoxo, L.
So worth coming home for!!!
