What a beautiful sunny day. It started out in the 40's but has quickly warmed up to somewhere in the mid to upper 60's. This is the weather we came to Arizona for.
This being the first part of the month I am still doing my monthly chores which includes running the engine, generator, checking the batteries, etc. It is hard to belieive we have been here for 3 months already but we have. Soon we will be heading to Alaska (only 2 1/2 months away).
Yesterday we went to Picacho Peak which to hike to the top. The path we took is about 3 1/2 miles long from base to peak. Picacho Peak is at an elevation of 1500 feet and is the site of the western most battle of the civil war. The actual battle was fought about 1/2 mile away from the peak in a valley. Currently the actual battle site is on private property and therefore you can't visit it. The park is a great park with some wonderful views of the surrounding valley. We didn't hike all the way to the top. We did hike about 3 miles of the trail but toward the end for some of the path you need to use cables to help you along. When we reached the cable portion we decided that was far enough for this trip. By the time w got back to the car I can honestly say we were both tired. We went to a pizza place in one of the nearby towns for dinner. The pizza was OK. It was not like we have back in St. Louis but it was well done and tasty.
Today Jeannie, the park manager asked me if I would like to cater the Valentine Dinner. This is a tempting request. I guess I will need to put together a menu and a cost estimate and then discuss it with them to see if we can come to a consensus. I will keep you posted incase anyone wants to come to Valentine Dinner.
Well I need to get bus on recipes for the Soup Class this Wed. Have a blessed day.
