Peak references like this are one of the many things I love about Alexis Hall’s books.

It’s National Dog Day! I sadly can’t have a dog right now but Lucy is my favorite coworker and she fills that hole a little.

You know, having a cookbook section in the Donner Memorial Museum gift shop is a little on the nose. 😬

We usually just call them emotionally immature parents. There’s a book, if you’re interested.

We regrettably did not stick around for the worm races. We’ll never know who the top worm is…

50 years ago my dad marched in the Philadelphia Bicentennial parade and then the next day marched in the DC Bicentennial parade on the 4th. He’s the sousaphone player on the far right.

Finished my 2000 piece puzzle! It was too big for my puzzle board so it got the luxury of taking up space on my table. And it doesn’t *look* big because I had to use the .5 lens to make it fit in the frame lol.

This phrasing keeps cracking me up. It’s like what someone would say to a peeping tom lol

I always forget I took this picture. It’s one of my favorites.

A saguaro is slightly out of focus in the background. Cholla cactus are in focus in the foreground.

Got to visit my beautiful grandma’s memorial site yesterday. Her ashes are buried under this massive saguaro. It’s such a lovely spot.

Kiddo and I are playing a game where we give each other prompts to draw with our eyes closed. She told me to draw an Inside Out character and I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed this hard.

Hidden Valley Inn was a Tucson staple from the ‘50s until ‘95 when it burned down. An old west themed restaurant and as a kid I was obsessed with the miniature dioramas of the circus and a few others I can’t remember. Such a loss.
