I'm so happy to announce that Doug went back to work today with a new company, doing more of what he has wanted to do for a long time and with high hopes. Now that I have the house and my desk back I'm using this time to get myself back in gear too.
Well, actually I'm celebrating by having a large hot chai at my favorite Starbucks. Getting back in writer mode. I have been busy and am happy to announce my new Web site for my research and writing business: Please visit here.
Tomorrow is the 100th Birthday for Arizona the 48th State. We went to the celebration at the state capitol on Saturday. Here's a few of my favorite photos:
Street art.
Rescued wildlife.
Youth corp and the Civil War
Low riders and vintage cars.
Bi-Plane Flyover
Gunfights in the tradition of the Old West
Older transportation.
Costumes.
Chinese Cultural Center
Spanish Village - Dia de los muertes.
As we were leaving Jesse McGuire played "The Star-Spangled Banner" Most everybody
stopped: bikers, African-Americans, Latinos, children, adults, cowboys, musicians,
Caucasians, police, vendors. . .
It was AMAZING!
Congratulations to Doug on his new job!! Heading over to check out your website now!
