4th of July

Hello everyone and I hope you are all looking forward to a July 4th celebration! I am ecstatic to have Friday off. We are driving to Prescott, which is about 2 hours north and much cooler - in fact, it is at the same altitude as KF! Prescott has a fairly (in)famous rodeo celebration over several days which we plan to attend that evening, and I am so excited! Haven't seen a rodeo around the 4th since Klamath (anybody remember Ross Dollarhide?) Anyway, the first rodeo I attended in Phoenix was INSIDE AN ARENA. Sooooooo wrong. Summer has landed with a heavy fist here so we are looking forward to just getting outa here to a higher altitude and the sight of trees other than palm, if even for a day! I do hope you all are enjoying your summer. And Gail, what a great place to live -- as you say, no need to look elsewhere for beauty or nice weather!!!

Best wishes,
Mary

Hey Mary,
Great seeing your posting. It made my day when I say it. A Rodeo-WOW that has been a long time since I have been to one of those. I think the last one was Red Bluff CA! Keep coming back to post more, I love reading them.
Hugs,
Suzie
