SKP Saguaro Co-Op, Benson, AZ: Nov 18, 2007-Feb 9, 2008
When we last wrote we were pretty sure we would not be visiting California. Our plans, however, are nothing if not fluid, and that turned out to be not the case (as you can tell by our subject line). We discussed with Gayle (Doug's dad) his plans to move to Albuquerque & he felt it would not be happening until at least early April. He agreed that it would be fine for us to wander around southern AZ & CA, keeping in touch in case there were any new developments (more on that later). We planned to return to Tucson in mid-April to help with the move at that time.
Our last few weeks at Benson were notable for a visit to Gayle's house by Doug's daughter Erin & her husband Bryan, followed the next weekend by a visit by Doug's brother Rodger. We drove up each weekend and had great visits with all of them. We also got up early (for us -- 6am!) 3 mornings in a row to view the conjunction of Mars & Jupiter. There was a quilt show in Benson that we went to & enjoyed, and Paul Martin, an Escapee Freethinker musician who was visiting the Co-Op for a month, gave an impromptu concert at our casita.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 7:53 PM
