....boring, yes, but beautiful and peaceful and nice to look at something besides concrete....we load up on corn nuts and diet coke (classy travelers that we are) and head out....on this trip we stayed with some of our Besties, the Villalovos, in their beautiful home in Trilogy way out north off Happy Valley Road....home to coyotes, mountain lions and even fox! A beautiful reminder of the Wild Wild West....
One day we took a drive to Prescott - so many good memories there when we were little and we had close friends that lived there and we would go to the Round Up Rodeo's
Love the flags around the old courthouse, the old Navajo sign and the wooden Indian. We shopped all around the antique stores....a beautiful day and we had a great lunch together.
You can't help but feel old when you see stuff you used to have in Antique stores....The prints with the little boys were the Northern Tissue Prints that my mom got for my brothers room and my sister and I had the girl prints......every little girl in AZ back in the 50's/60's had a squaw dress....mine was turquoise with silver rick rack....just like this one!
The next day the guys went in hot pursuit for Quail! Armed and dangerous they headed out to Bloody Basin....over the rocks and thru the brush and even 4 wheeling in our truck that has never seen a dirt road.....the bounty from 3 seasoned hunters on an all day hunt: 2 quail, 1 flat tire and one large rattlesnake
So while the cowboys were out in search of bounty; us cowgirls hit the wonderful and enchanting Glendale Antique stores - can't get enough of those places!
We ate at Ms. CeeCee's which was a repurpopsed cottage house where they served lunch in the living room and all the bedrooms and even the bathroom had items to purchase.....I just had to take a picture of the bathroom with the commode and all the stuff for sale in the bathtub....they make it easy! Also went to several other shops, Hobby Lobby and Michael's....my girlfriend is the undisputed 'Queen of Halloween' and I just follow her around and get amazed at her ability to create.....not only that but she is a fab cook....a little Martha Stewart in the Wild West!
