Easter Vacation in AZ

By airplane and automobile we all converged on Arizona for Easter Vacation. Our hosts were terrific as usual and we all had a wonderful time. We visited with an Aunt & Uncle, and many many cousins. We also toured a late 1800's mining operation, rode horses in a private rodeo arena, went to the Phoenix Zoo, shopped at World Wide Sportsman, swam, took lots of pictures and ate everything in sight. In short we had a GREAT time. Thanks to all of our VERY generous hosts.

Notable Quotes

"Civilization ends when the pampered beneficiaries of the hard work of the now dead have the luxury of ignoring how hard it was — and is — to build shelter from the elements, to erect public buildings from scrub, to grow food and sprout farms from sage. Our contemporary criminals are protected from the elemental struggle and so have the indulgence to gnaw away at civilization’s veneer — and we, in our conspiratorial silence about them, likewise forgot that to keep still about the destruction of the work of others is to be complicit in it."
~Victor Davis Hanson

"The only man who makes no mistake is the man who does nothing."
~Theodore Roosevelt
