Hi Jersey. Thought you said you were 25 last week? You should never admit to knowing any of my old sayings, that will give the game away.

Hiya Frank. Er............ I read about it in an old book about sayings.

Yep horrid day today, closed the blinds at seven 'cos I'd had enough. Trouble is we were spoiled last week, I even had thoughts of putting the patio furniture out.

We live about an hour an & half drive from Sedona & they had little snow this winter, so not much skiing going on. It certainly is beautiful up there, a visit to Slide Rock Park is a must, especially in the summer. We found a great restaurant that served awesome fish & chips, we went back last time when we were up there. It was all dark inside, so we went into the hotel entrance & asked when they opened. They said they had skipped out on the lease, there one day, gone the next, with no word.

lucky you living so close to Sedona.we stayed with some friends in Scottsdale which i also liked a lot,enjoyed it more than Houston but not been here long enough yet to judge it fairly yet though not a lot of scenery going on!Loved the flowering cacti,however one young lady i was chatting to said she'd love to go to England to see all the lovely gardens cos she misses the green

We always take our visitors to Sedona, it's a must & the closest thing to English greenery around these parts!!! We're hopefully going to Slide Rock Park this summer for my hubby's birthday. We've been a few times, but the one time when it was warm enough to float down Slide Rock River, we had our son with us, so it was out of the question. So we'll be leaving him with his Nana & going to have some fun all by ourselves, we can't wait!!!
