We've arrived in Tucson!

Here at last!

We were so excited to touch down in Tucson and not need our coats. It's 67 degrees and sunny. My kids are going to be so jealous when they see a picture of the car we are renting. A Ford Mustang and, no doubt, the coolest car in the lot.
I have to warn Karen to hold onto her cookies when I take off; it's got power. We started our hunt at the Village Originals tent where we traditionally start off buying our copper and silver findings every year. We had good luck there and found out that they will not be offering metals in the future. Something we've never done before is venture off to the other tents in that shopping area. We found some nice sterling silver earrings that our customers will love. Karen stopped dead in her tracks with pure bliss in her eyes when we found Austrian crystals. She was so in awe she could've bathed herself in all the glitz and sparklies coming from that area. Many colors and shapes were to be had. Hold us back! After an exhausting couple of hours we decided we couldn't take anymore. Remember we started our day at 4:00 a.m.

We thought we'd do some grocery shopping before we headed back for the night. Low and behold, half way through the store we realized we were in an all organic store! We are a little slow at this point. The realization came when we couldn't find our Diet Coke! Tragic! We got the heck out of Dodge and stopped at the nearby Italian restaurant. The shrimp marinara and shrimp scampi were wonderful enough to propel us back to the condo and get unloaded. Our condo has six remotes. Remember this country girl has only had three stations to choose from most of her life. Operating this high-tech system was quite a challenge. Just get a station we recognize. Karen and I sorted through all the treasures and cut the strands to put them in plastic baggies. Needless to say, we didn't last long into the night; we were tucked in by 9:00 p.m.
Tootles for now, Kyla
