back in the 'ville

we are back... a great trip! I will post about the fun trip with Sweet Anna, awesome visits with people, driving 1200 miles, two cross country flights, redwood trees, the fighting elephant seals, the clam-cracking sea gull, the beauty of the CA coast, the millions of cacti in the cactus forest in AZ, going from sea level in La Holla, CA to 4050 ft on a desert mountain and then back to sea level in the desert in about an hour and a half in far south eastern CA on the way to Tucson, driving real fast in the desert, and AZ - where the wild, wild west is still alive and well... all that and a pic or two later. Right now, I'm just getting reorganized after being gone from the 'ville for all but two weeks since June 8! okay, back to work!
