Plaid around the house.
Dogs in plaid from Tumblr
Most of my ornaments are packed away in boxes.
I decided that even for the two weeks we are still here in Arizona,
I would create a little Christmas tabletop.
Just enough of a reminder to bring us of the joy of season.
Yesterday while Jim and I had gone out to do some errands,
we saw a dog
running down the sidewalk beside a busy highway.
We stopped and I went over to her,
she was so excited, wiggling her whole body and laying down
for a tummy rub.
I always have a leash and a collar in the car. {Probably from Cookie or Pebbles}
She had a collar but no ID.
We drove around the neighbourhood with her comfortably
resting in the back seat, finding no one that knew of her.
We took her to our homeowner association office,
they took her photo, did a scatter email to all the
residents and one of the girls was taking this
sweet, sweet golden retriever
home with her for the night.
I will call first thing in the morning to see if she found a home.
I will post an update.
11:30 update: human owner reunited with her dog!
Jim and I have been coming back to Arizona each
Fall and Winter Season
for the past 10 years.
We have made some wonderful friends, had great fun,
gone on many road trips, picnicked, hiked and truly enjoyed our time here.
We decided this summer that we wanted to do more traveling,
explore new countries, see how the rest of the
world lives.
We sold our home here in 4 hours, we turn over the keys today.
Luckily, our friends gave us their home just down the street to
use until we leave for Panama on January 4th.
Instead of just staying a month, now we have a chance to really
enjoy our time there.
We will be spending 3 months.
We are excited on this new phase in our life.
Who knows in which country we will end up in for our
winter months.
It was a sunny and cool day yesterday,
perfect
for a drive to Tucson,
south on the Pinal Pioneer Highway.
Past the Cactus Garden, into the Oro Valley at
3500'.
Spent some time looking at a few stores before heading home.
It was a good day.
When I was growing up, my mom would tell
me that I should marry a man with wheels instead of legs.
I always want to be on the go, to see new things, take a drive,
do things, go places.
After all these years and a fair bit of travel behind me,
I am still the same.
Today we are heading down to Tucson for a drive.
Camera in hand, new sights to see.
New memories to make.
They should tell you when you are born,
"Have a suitcase heart, be ready to travel"
