Arizona is beautiful this time of year. Not scorching hot (like when we've moved her into her dorm and apartment in August) but not cold either. It's perfect.
Although Arizona isn't a state I would want to live in permanently because of the extreme heat, there are things that I enjoy each time I visit. Here are just a few...
Desert scenery...
One of my favorite stores (we don't have these in CA, and maybe that's a good thing!)...
Temperatures like these...
QT gas stations. Drinks are only .69 cents and QT has the biggest variety of soft drinks of any gas station ever. I always feel like a kid in a candy store...
But the best thing in Arizona is this beauty...
Sitting in an Arizona State rocker at Cracker Barrel this morning. ASU's mascot is Sparky the Sundevil. She's showing us Sparky's pitchfork.
It's hard to believe, but my little girl is now officially a college senior!

Have a great time in Arizona, and enjoy all those good things! (Especially Courtney!)
We took a trip to Arizona (Phoenix/Scottsdale) one year...December. I loved it, warm during the day and cool enough for a sweater in the evening. I love the desert scenery...not sure I'd like it year round but its a great place to visit!
Linda, I know you are so proud of your daughter. It is wonderful to be included in their lives... a precious gift.
AZ is a great place to visit. Beautiful in a very different way. And, yep, the Hobby Lobby thing is a love/hate place! LOL!
I went to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area one time with my sister. Her husband was there on business and I got to go along to keep her company during the day.
It really is beautiful!
I love Hobby Lobby. There isn't one in my town, but there are several very close by. They have the neatest things and always have great sales.
Love those rocking chairs at CB. Our CB has OU chairs. :)
Enjoy!!!!
Welcome to Arizona! That's fun that your daughter wants you to check things out. I love the weather here. I'll get used to the rest. Have fun and y'all come back again, ya hear!
What a great daughter you have, Linda. Arizona looks beautiful, and I'm sure you're having a fun time.
Hugs,
Donna
Time flies when your having fun! Lovely daughter Linda, hope you had a good visit. Love Di ♥
That is really nice that she values your opinion - even now that she is a Senior. As for AZ, I've been their a couple of times and loved it. I can't say much for the heat - but the natural beauty is amazing. My parents love to RV to Yuma and that area!
