Pictures of us while in Arizona
We've got SO many scenic pictures from our trip, and I can't decide which ones are blog worthy, so I pulled out the pictures of Paul & I (just a quick sampling). I promise, we're not vain, 98% of our photos do not have us in them!
julie at the chapel in sedona (first thing we stopped for after flying into phoenix, driving about 2 hours, while waiting on the hotel room to be ready - if we look a bit tired it's because we got up at 3:30am and had flown for many many hours!)

us, self portrait
goofy (it was really hot)
another self-portrait
is it sad that we only asked one person to take a *real* picture of us? our little video camera did well for these shots
didn't know i had caught my reflection in the mirror - kinda funny
and finally... one last picture...

Memorial Day weekend
We stayed home over the holiday weekend and worked around the house. Yes, all 3 days of it. It was pretty nice, but we worked hard!
Brick walkway along the driveway. What a project! About 120 bricks, two dozen bags of sand & gravel and viola! Pathway. Well, not to mention the 12+ hours it took us, but it was so worth it! We're still waiting on a good rain storm and another coating of sand, but it's done and it's so set in you can drive on it. Go Paul!
The driveway before:
And After! :)
Detail from the house looking down the driveway.
Of course an entry would not be complete without pictures of our growing things. The backyard!
Walking around side (garage) of house to the back - PLANTS
Patio plantings (zinnas & flat leaf parsley are slowly growing in the bed)
Garden growing quite nicely
Tomatoes! We have little tomatoes!
Beefstake
Patio
Roma
Heirloom yellow
We also have one called, "Mr. Stripy" (heirloom) it's growing a little slower
Squash - we have blooms!
Lettace (special kind from Paul's grandparents in Ohio)
Limes (inside) - they are growing like mad. We've got a key lime pie recipe ready!
More Northern Arizona pictures to come. They are still being uploaded (we've got over 550MB of pictures!)

Northern Arizona trip
We're back from our 5 day trip to Arizona. We started out by flying to Phoenix on the 18th and drove up to Sedona for our first night. Wow! Red rock country! It is an amazing site. I don't have pictures uploaded yet, but I plan to soon.
After Sedona we drove up to Flagstaff and used it as our base for the rest of the trip. It was HOT for May, but we had a great time. We spent one day at the Grand Canyon, one at Walnut Canyon and another around Sunset Crater.
Here's a couple of pictures:
Us at the Grand Canyon, Mather Point:
Beautiful California Condor & Ravens in flight (we saw 7 flying around the South Rim) The condor has a wingspan of 9-13 feet!
Car's thermo reading on our way to Phoenix to return home - 113 degrees - it did read up to 115.
Flagstaff, crossroads of the west.
More stories & pictures to come!
