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....

Confessions of a Tired Caterer; Burned to a Crisp

Recently, after 8 years of owning my own catering business, Tea 'n Mystery, I announced I was retiring on June 3. I am quite happy with my decision, but it has surprised so many people.....I am surprised. Of course, the ones that were the most surprised never actually worked alongside me...so they never actually experienced all the highs and lows of this business. Truly, I can say to you....unless you are in the ditch digging business...you have probably never worked that hard physically in your life! For a taste of what my days were like....read on...and maybe you will see why at 57, I am retiring and working my Plan B. Typical Day 1 of job: Lists, lists, and more lists. Products needed, serving supplies to retrieve from storage, paper products needed, decorations needed, etc...and then the shopping begins. 1. Restaurant supply for large quantity items 2. Costco for smaller quantities or certain cheeses, fruits, eggs, heavy cream, paper products 3. Party City for decor and or pap...

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...

Reinvent Yourself

Hello again! It has been awhile, right? 5 years to be exact. WHEW! A lot has happened.... but what you need to know is that I am HAPPY and probably HAPPIER than I have ever been, at least as far as I can remember.... You see, I am HAPPY because of many reasons, not the least of which is because I am quite comfortable in my own skin. Yes, I am older and yes, I am considered a Senior now. WOW! Who ever thinks about what that will feel like? Actually, for the most part, I feel the same. I am a little slower now, although my life is very busy and I make people tired just reading my Facebook posts of all the events I attend. But, I notice I tire more easily, and crave more down time than before. I actually look forward to those days when I personally have nothing in addition to my work plans. Speaking of my work, I will update you on my current passion....I am the Director of Community Services for a law firm, Haiman Hogue, PLLC.  That title means that I plan EVENTS! Wow....I have c...
