New News Part 1

Below are some other random pictures from our July Arizona trip. I do hope you enjoy my commentary. :) I think these are enough to satisfy ones appetite for our vacation photos. :) If you thirst for more, let me know. lol

*NOTE: You can click on any of my images to enjoy a larger view. This may be particularly helpful to find Yurtle the Turtle in the photo below. * :)

It may be hard for you to tell, but those small (ish) turtles in the front there...one of them made it home with me. I like to refer to him as Yurtle. Yurtle, the turtle. :)

Man, I wish that some of these large pots could have come home with us. :( Another time perhaps. :)

My mom, Beth, and Cassidy in Tubac, AZ scopin' out some pottery to take home with us. I heart Tubac. :) I have to go there every time I visit my sister. This time around I didn't quite satisfy my personal desire for Mexican pottery, but I didn't come home empty handed either. And I did get some Mexican pottery--just not the style I was after. There is a certain style that I must say--I heart it the most. :) lol

A few photos of my niece, Cassidy. We went to see my little sister, Beth and her fam, in Arizona in July. My mom and I had not seen them since Cassidy was fresh out of the oven, and Brad had never seen her. It was so great to see her and see what a terrific job her parents are doing with her. She was so well-behaved and such a happy child. She loves to color in her coloring book and wants you to color too. She also likes to "read" her books and have you sit in her very own special chair with her (The chair--really not meant for an adult's behind if you know what I mean. lol Of course we all humored her though). I hope you enjoy the pictures below as much as I do. :)

My lil' sister, Beth and my niece, Cassidy. Very stinkin' cute!

One of my favorite outdoor shots I got while we vacationed in AZ this summer.
