This post reminds me I need to take more pictures of my mom and I need to see the Desert before I go, lol. I never ever really card about it or wanted to see it until this post. Not sure why, but as I walk ab\round our little town I wonder how the people lived before us back in the day too. Must have connected with that statement.

My husband was hiking South Mountain yesterday as well. He was also in a small town in Texas the same time as you were. Interesting coincidences. But we need to change things around so I am in the same place as you and make it a Quilting experience instead of a business trip. My husband thinks he spoke to your Dad on the trail. :)<br />rhodaden@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1265792225518366402016-02-20T06:53:27.625-05:002016-02-20T06:53:27.625-05:00Nice!

My niece is in HS there too. <br />South Mt has a lot of antennas on it now, but the side you were on was the way I remember it 30+ yrs ago when they first moved to Awatuki (sp). When I was there this summer I too wondered what were the original settlers thinking livening here!???<br />Carolyn Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591809412054783126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-42307322206259352412016-02-20T06:00:34.054-05:002016-02-20T06:00:34.054-05:00Such a nice hike.

My family did Thanksgiving there many times and we kids (6 of us) would scramble around the boulders and hills and just have a blast. My Dad would bring along the little portable TV so he could watch his football games. Good times!!! Thanks for sharing. Arizona sunsets are the best!!!<br />SusanSUES CUSTOM QUILTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190968797206103474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-26694838952126164442016-02-19T17:45:49.408-05:002016-02-19T17:45:49.408-05:00I LOVE that photo of you Bon!

It should be enlarged and framed, kept and treasured. I miss my Dad every day. You are lucky to be able to hug him and just sit with him, even while stitching in front of the TV.

People that are well grounded (such as yourself) don't come by that grounding accidentally. I hope that you can enjoy your Dad's company for many more years to come. I was fortunate to have my father into his 93rd year. My wish for you is that you exceed that!
