SNOWY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

 

 

 

I returned home from Valntinaville...Santa came, and Papa and I took V to the park for run-around time!

 

 

I flew from Oakland to San Diego to change planes to get to Tucson.  Well there is 1 separate terminal for SWA which has only 2 gates: 1 and 1A.  Of course that is where we pulled up.  Not a bad flight, but I had to go out and to the main Terminal for the bulk of SWA flights, and back through security.  The line for checking in was way to the central doors!  Oh wow!, but then I had Pre TSA Check so it went very quickly; also, they opened up more space for security checks---finally!  So on we go to Tucson, start to decsend, then go back up and around for a bit.  The pilot came on and said  "We have to land in Phoenix to get gas.  There is a lot of congestion at the airport, and we don't have enough gas to keep circling."  It was heavy clouds and rain and bumpy.  So add another hour.  I left on a 9:20am flight, and got home in the dark.  Just happy to be home!

At 10:30pm last night it began to snow... and for quite a while by the looks of it this morning.  So I have to share some of the pix with you.  Starting with last night out back, and one that Rodney took. 

 
A new day, a new Year, a new Desert!

WINTER WONDERLAND
AIRZONA STYLE
 
Palm trees, wave, are you listening?
In the pool, water's glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight.
Living in a Tucson Wonderland.

Gone away is the blizzard.
Here to stay is the lizard.
A warm sunny day, we like it that way,
Living in a Tucson Wonderland.

In the desert we will have a picnic,
Cactus, sand, rattlesnakes and sun.
Christmas dinner is an old tradition,
It's pinto beans and tacos by the ton.

Later on,we'll perspire,
As the temperature rises higher.
A warm sunny day, we like it that way,
Living in a Tucson Wonderland.

In the desert we don't shovel snow, man,
There's no ice to make us slip and slide.
All the houses here are air conditioned.
So we can get cold when we are inside.

Later on, if we're wishing
We can golf or go fishing.
A warm sunny day, we like it that way,
Living in a Tucson Wonderland
So,  Enjoy our pix, and Blessings for a Joyful, Abundant, and Healthy 2015!!!!   Peju of the Desert
