• Red Rocks Recap

    Blogposts from "Return to the Red Rocks" are complete. This post provides an outline of where we went, what we saw and links to posts associated with each stop.

  • Relaxing in Ridgedale

    Typically the final weeks of our AZ trips are spent in MO where we can relax by the fire. Although cooler in March, temps are way better than Wisconsin's!

  • A Solemn Day in OKC

    We usually just pass through OK on our way home, but this time we stopped to see an excellent memorial to an event that I remember like it was yesterday.

  • Along Oak Creek Canyon

    Sedona in mid-February has fewer tourists, crisp fresh air, and plenty of sunshine. I am grateful for every visit to gaze upon its splendid red rocks.

  • Some Highlights of Sedona

    Sedona's mild mid-February temps and abundant sunshine meet our requirements for escaping winter. And then there are the excellent views!

  • One of Seven Natural Wonders

    Gazing out into the Grand Canyon in mid-February is not ideal, but the sun shined brightly and traces of snow were beautiful on the red rock.

  • A Postcard Around Every Corner

    This post is loaded with pretty pictures of the magnificent red rocks of Sedona, AZ. Every time we visit, we find our new favorite viewpoint.

  • At Home in Phoenix

    This is the only post from Phoenix this time, but it's a good one – if you like quilts, fiber art, musical instruments, and hot-air balloons.

  • All Around Tucson

    This post covers walks in the desert, an otter-copter, a night out, a mission renovation that's finally done, and another gorgeous sunset.

  • Our Casita in the Desert

    We begin our AZ stay in Tucson in an Airbnb in the desert amongst the cactus and birds. We were close and yet so far from the city madness.

  • Return to the Red Rocks 2024

    It’s time to return to snowbird status! We have a great line-up of accommodations for a couple months of warmer temperatures to explore AZ!
