Phoenix Heat

What did the past 10 days hold for me?

-Drove 8 extra hours to watch the sun set over the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
-Got partially lost looking for a campground that didn't exist.
-Camped out in a casino parking lot to get kicked out 10 minutes later.
-Slept in the back of the Pathfinder in the adjacent gas station parking lot from the Casino.
-Woke up drenched in wonderful sweat from the 105 degree weather.
-Saw Durango.
-Drove past the 4-corners (after debating that the 15.00 entrance fee was not worth a walk up)
-Went on a 2 hour hourseback ride.
-Antique stopping
-a night of natural hot springs
-Caught the biggest fish (out of 15 men and me)
-Read a Severe Mercy to my darling while floating on the lake.
-Spent my mornings reading and praying with my darling.
-Saw Colorado from The Overlook, 9000 feet high.
-Went hiking.
-Got lost hiking.
-Got really really lost hiking.
-Found the trail back hiking and laughed about it.
-Went on a Pagosa Springs date.
-Read a book while my darling golfed next to me.
-Cried with happiness when I we stopped back in Durango and I had Starbucks again for the first time in 10 days.
-drove to Las Vegas
-Realized we don't own a credit card and therefore couldn't get a hotel.
-Found a great campground.
-Bought 8 dollar flip-flops after my feet nearly fell off walking the strip.
-Survived Las Vegas: alcohol-free, gambling-free, and still single.
-Slept in 115 degree heat
-Drove home

A few new additions to my Etsy shop:





Burglar

Help! Someone broke into my house! But, they didn't take anything. In fact, they left something....
-A beautiful Sunflower bouquet and a card of warm fuzzies. How nice.

Bills


Since I worked all day, I asked Eric if he could stop over and drop of my gas bill payment. This is what he did so he wouldn't forget. Silly.

I feel the same way

Kitchen Dreams

Vintage want #1...
A VINTAGE FRIDGE
Photobucket
Where to get your own:
1.  The Big Chill - They make new retro-style fridges that will only cost you $3000....!

2.  Craigslist - where you can find ones like this.  Needs some work, but there is endless amounts of info online on how to restore old fridges.

3. Salvage yards- I know here in Phoenix we have a few salvage shops that have broken, old fridges.
