Southwest Christmas

We were not at all sure what to expect of Christmas in the Southwest. Here are some images of the season down here.

The Three Amigos?

Merry Christmas to all of you.  May the New Year be full of new adventures!!

Cold weather in Tucson

A few days ago it was COLD, COLD, COLD here in Tucson!!!!   Temps in the early morning were about 30 degrees, which apparently is about as cold as it gets here. If you listened to the weather people on TV you might think that the world was going to end.  Here are some of the things they said:

"Be sure to dress in bundles"  [they don't quite the idea of "bundling up"]
"Warm up your car this morning"
"Be careful out there"  [we're not sure exactly what you're supposed to be careful of???]

In any case, the sun came out and daytime temps were in the high 50s - sunny and warm for Breckenridge!!

More Desert Creatures

We went back to the Desert Museum with our friends the Stuarts.  Apparently, you see new critters each time you go.  Here are some more photos of desert critters.
