So you want to play in the snow

See Arizona

We try to make a get-away to the snow at least once every winter – even if only for an afternoon, it’s something that we don’t get to do a lot of in Phoenix. And now that it’s been raining in Phoenix off and on for a couple of days, it might be a great [...]

Autumn Sunset in Arizona

See Arizona

    This picture was taken from 75th Ave and Rose Garden Ln (just north of Loop 101), from my car, while waiting for the light to change.

Lifestyle

31 Flavors of Fun!

See Arizona

Way to go, Fletcher Heights 31 Flavors! OK, admit it – you were one of the (what seemed like) hundreds of people I saw last night at Baskin Robbins’ 31-cent scoop night, weren’t you? I brought my two boys for a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of rainbow sherbet, and what looked like it [...]

Arizona Sights & Wonders: Canyon Lake Day-trip

East Valley

As a near-native – I’ve lived here since I was 5 years old – I’ve taken for granted many of the sights and wonders that Arizona has to offer.  I can’t count the number of times I’ve been to the Grand Canyon, and have also visited many, many other fantastic places in the state.  A [...]
