Well, I was visiting Mom in AZ last week--what a very fun time.
We started with a trip to Arizona for just Frank and I...my sister Kim got married in the Snowflake Arizona Temple last Saturday, and that was a happy day.
Then, Frank returned to brave the Real World as both mom and dad in our family for the week, while I stayed to play with my mom.
One night was a comedy show at a local theater, it was pretty funny. It was called "Harlie's Angels," a spoof of Charlie's Angels, you remember with Farah Fawcett and the others in the 70's. Every time one of them would say "We're Harlie's Angels," they would strike the pose of the silouhette, you know how one stands sideways with her hands posed to karate-chop someone, the right one has a gun pointing...
Another night was horseback riding, I'll have to get the photos out of Mom's camera. A far cry from my friend Marilee's horse experiences in
Canada right now, but it was beautiful scenery riding up the canyon, and cool temps with a breeze. (Notice the color-coordinated shirts...we didn't want to get lost, of course. kidding :) )
Can't say I could sleep in, since they don't do Daylight Savings Time in AZ...the sun gets 
up before 5 a.m.! But I took early cool walks in the sunshine, and temps later in the day were perfect: 85 degrees.
The electricity went out one evening so we took the golf cart around the neighborhood and golf courses. I counted rabbits. 93 of them-- also a deer.
Now I'm back, and I'm supposed to hit the ground running. Wow, at 6 a.m. my body still thinks it's 3 a.m. Why are my eyes not opening, again?
(It is SOOOOOOOOOOO hard to get back to work after a vacation...)
I appreciate sunshine, warm temps, and states that actually have summer. Plus Mom's house is so neat and tidy. An elusive goal I've always had.
Well, time to grocery shop, get gas, try to find the floor and countertops in my not-so-tidy place! Have a great week!

I love it Kari! It's fun isn't it? Sounds like a fun week with your mom, what fun! Oh, and thanks for the mention.....
It is always soooo hard to come back from a vacation! especially when you've had such fun family time. Charlie's Angels was my favorite show as a kid! I always wanted to be Kelly. Ahhh... memories. Good luck getting back to reality this week!
What a fun time to spend with your mom. Frank's a good sport, isn't he?
I love the picture of you and your mom on the horses (in matching shirts of course!).
