I checked, and I can't find any place where dessert and desert happen at the same time. So I thought I'd highlight a little of both. Multiple times, we have gone to Arizona for Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminars. Of course, much of the state is desert, so it's really simple to take photos of …

Before we get going down some back-country roads, let me disagree with one of the quotes that Tina used in her post this week. Liberty is not a privilege, it is one of your God-given Rights. Let's return to those unforgettable words of the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that …

This week's challenge turns out to be more difficult than I had anticipated. I had lots of subjects in mind, but then thought a little harder. With all the very upsetting things happening in our Nation this year, I have decided that, for me, the most important "A" subject must be, America. At age 71, …

It seems counter-intuitive for a plant to be both soft and prickly at the same time. This Arizona cactus, at progressively-closer views shows two entirely different textures. Seen from relatively far-away, it looks soft, with rounded curves. Seen closer-up, the big spines look pretty dangerous, and the plant looks like you wouldn't want to get …
From February 13th through the 18th, hubby and I flew down to Arizona for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Phoenix. We attended the Seminar Tuesday and Wednesday, then did some sightseeing the rest of the time. Monday's flight was uneventful, and we arrived at our hotel in good time. Upon unpacking, however, hubby …

I am at the stage in my life (age 67) where New Years resolutions don't fit. This year, I have something wonderful to look forward to for the next few years-Liberty! With a new Republican Administration taking over in January, instead of worrying constantly about the tightening of the strait-jacket of Government constantly hemming in …
