Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 5

Well...Friday was a REALLY long day...jam packed with adventures! Ever been on a Pink Jeep Tour?  Well...after the MONSOON washed us out on Thursday night...we rebooked and went Friday morning. Had a wonderful breakfast in uptown Sedona and then met our tour guide and headed out! This was a 2 hour Canyon Tour and the views were spectacular as promised! Learned a lot about the land, the plants, the history...Sedona is named for Sedona Schnebly who was much beloved, the wife of Carl (T.C.) and they came out west at the urging of Carl's brother who was already farming in the area close to Flagstaff. Carl was hardworking, very successful, and they built a two story house. Soon Carl sought to open a Post Office and applied for a name. He chose Sedona's name and everyone was happy as she was known for her wonderful hospitality!

The weather was perfect but there were dark clouds looming...we found out that Sedona usually averages only 14 inches of rain annually, but had received half that since we were there!!! Who knew? Our guide also told us of the naming of the spectacular Red Rock Formations, and some other important sites that we should not miss. One of them being...The Chapel of the Holy Cross. So...we headed out to visit...beautiful, awe inspiring and we lit candles and prayed for lots of friends and family!

Then...off to Santa Fe. Okay...we only made it to Oak Creek Vista before a stop was needed. It was a beautiful spot, scenic outlook, and boasted an Indian Marketplace. There were many deals to be had...and yes, we did take advantage of them! But at the end, we got RAINED on again....so we ran to the car and headed out again.

On the road again...we then stopped for lunch and decided our course of action...but chose to stop again at the Meteor Crater site close to Winslow, Arizona. Thinking this a 30 minute detour....nooo...this is a ticketed site with a movie, guide, etc. and we wound up being there 1.5 hours. Now...it is 4:30....and we REALLY vow to keep going...

Long story short...we arrived at our B&B in Santa Fe at MIDNIGHT!!! After some GOOD red wine, we got some much needed rest and now have had a wonderful breakfast. Today: Plaza (5 blocks) and The Georgia O'Keefe Museum, good food, and great wine!!! Weather beautiful now...but...as you might guess...rain looming, especially for tonight.

Lesson for today: Need some rain in your area? Call Judy and Sheila...we bring it with us! Also...need some adventures in your dull, boring life? Give us a call...we can give you some ideas to liven up even the most boring drives on the planet!

All for now...I raise my Organic Green Ginger Tea (I am in Santa Fe) to you....

You Look MAAHHVELOUS!

As I begin my journey to my hairstylist for an overhaul (color, cut, style, etc), I can not help but smile with anticipation. This is a treat that everyone should experience as having a professional make you look your best is priceless! When you leave the salon, you are smiling, your confidence level is soaring, you feel you can take on the world...and truth be told, you can! Now...if we could just translate this into the business world....hmmm. Well...the good news is you can! By practicing 3 daily habits, you can transform yourself everyday at home. How? 1. Read the likes of John Maxwell (my personal favorite) as he is both uplifting and real about leadership:how to develop into one, grow, and mentor and foster others. 2. Daily devotion time: Pray, give thanks, and turn over your cares and concerns to God. After all, he formed you for a purpose. It is said that we all have everything inside us for our mission in life. We just need development. As a person undergoing that develop...

Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure: Home Stretch

Well...sad as we were to leave...we are also glad to be home safely! We left Lubbock by 10 this morning and were home safely a little after 4 today!  We chose the small town route...a scenic route...other than the Interstate and it was certainly more interesting viewing. I downloaded my pictures today and am very excited to report most are quite good and am going to print some picture books with my Creative Memories Consultant, Deb Ramsey. That way they are recorded for all time!!! My generous husband...for providing me this opportunity...and I were recapping the trip and how it has expanded my viewpoints on our America the Beautiful. Truly, we were in three of the most beautiful places in America for sure. The Grand Canyon...Sedona...and Santa Fe. All three different, but all three very special indeed. Then add in...The London Bridge, The Meteor Crater, Albuquerque, etc....and you have the best that the Southwest has to offer!!! I must admit...I was happy to see my Texas Sta...

Graduation Season

Well, it is Graduation Season now.... and we have been going to many graduation parties for our neighbors' children, our friends' children and grandchildren. This is a monumental day for any teenager, parent, or grandparent alike and there is nothing like that feeling! A feeling of accomplishment, a scary feeling of the unknown, excitement for the new life beginning, and prayers of thanksgiving for their lives. I remember this day like it was yesterday... Chad was excited, but probably not as excited as we were! Our only child graduating from High School with a College Scholarship and the world was going to be his oyster. It was pouring down rain that day, but nothing could dampen our spirits. We had a big party that weekend with family and friends, lots of food and drink, and of course, pictures to commemorate the day. As I look on him today, 10 years later, I am so very proud of the young man he is becoming. Hard lessons he has learned, and he has had more than his ...
