Even More Photos at the Air Museum

I took about 540 photos at the Air Museum so feel lucky I can't post them all.

Michael took about 450 also.

Larry Mills and Frances Tanaka Visit to Tombstone and the Pima County Air and Space Museum

What a great time we had.

Not much time for rest.

Larry and Frances arrived on Wednesday afternoon and we went swimming before a great feast for dinner.

The next morning off to the Sonoran Desert Museum (did not post more pictures of the Museum as it was gray and rainy that day) where we took a docent tour. We did not know there was such an animal but we all learned quite a bit on the tour. It was worthwhile. And of course we had another big dinner with wines, etc. that evening.

Friday we visited Tombstone and for the first time went to the re-enactment at the OK Corral.
Not great but OK - at least it didn't rain on us that day. The temperature in Tucson was 63 degrees - the last time it was 63 degrees on May 23rd was in 1919. We were better dressed than the day before for the weather but with the wind and rain it was pretty chilly a times. No reenactment of our time with the Veseth's when it sleeted, rained and snowed here. On the way home we stopped at El Charro Cafee and were treated to dinner and drinks by our guests.

Saturday off to the Pima County Air and Space Museum which was wonderful. We all wished we had left earlier in the day as we could have spent more time there. Larry was my instrument instructor and a great person to go to the museum with as he knew almost every airplane and it's history.

Sunday after lox and eggs prepared by Michael our friends headed back to Phoenix to catch their plane to Seattle. It was so quiet after they left!

Now we are preparing to leave here on Sunday, June 1st.

Tucson Photo Ops

Michael's cousins, George and Marj, and I all went downtown Tucson today just to take pictures around the Barrio, the Artisans area and the Visitor's Center complex.

Hope you enjoy some of the ones I chose to post.

We started at 9 am and by 10:30 am it was getting a wee bit warm to continue so we went shopping at the Artisan's Center and then for lunch in the shade.

Had a lovely morning exploring the area.

And for those of you who are interested Michael has been promoted for one day. If you are curious the link is below today 's photographs :http://wineeconomist.com/2008/05/18/senior-research-assistant/

Visiting with our friends

Our friends, John and Guelda Messina, came to visit us here in Tucson for several days.

Not a dull moment, not much relaxing in the sun.

We visited Tombstone one day, Tubac, Tumacacori and San Xavier the next day, walked around the neighborhood and of course ate well and drank well.

Played Quiddler - won't say who won.

Had a wonderful visit! Very sad to see them leave this morning.

We've been busy taking golf lesson, playing 3 games so far, seeing friends, having my Mother and Clem visit, going to open houses, eating, making jewelry, hitting tennis balls and so on.

Life here is still good. It is now in the 90s most days but the evenings still cool off a great deal.
