I enjoyed safe travel and was treated like a Princess :-) while visiting with two friends and an adorable Brittany named Lizzi. We visited a quilt shop in Green Valley..Heart and Hand...where I found some tiny scissors allowed on airplanes and also some black fabric to use in the dog quilt I making. We also enjoyed delightful pedicures and a beautiful hike up into the Santa Rita mountains where we put those same pampered feet to good use. The weather was perfect!

My Lead Hikers :-)
View of Mt Wrightson which is at a 9453 ft elevation.
We hiked from the 5500 ft level to the 7080 ft Saddle and went about 6.5 miles.
No blisters for me in my Nikes but I slipped and slid the whole way. Note: proper hiking boots are apparently a needed safety item!
More challenges with the canines made it hard to leave home but my DH did a wonderful job helping everyone back to health and comfort. I came home to happier dogs.
While traveling, I enjoyed stitching on my Blackbird Sings embroidery. The last couple of days I finished putting the borders on the dog quilt and making the backing for it. It is loaded on the longarm where I hope to start quilting it today.
quilt pics next week :-)

Beautiful pics and glad you enjoyed Tucson and safe travels to get there. I made a quick trip to Tucson last Thursday as well.
ReplyDeleteGlad you did not hurt yourself. I bought a pair of hiking boots last year. I wear them all the time when I am working outside and in the garden. They really help keep my ankles from twisting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat looking place.
Glad you had a good time and came home to healthy happy dogs! We are leaving for Phoenix at the end of the week for a week of baseball!Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! Last year worked with a turtle count project and one of the professors had Brittany's that were trained to sniff out the turtles...very cool!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful and rejuvinating trip. Hiking boots, huh? Who would've thunk it? *s*
ReplyDeleteOh look at that sunshine - looks like a wonderful trip, I'm enjoying your pics! Yes, hiking boots would be a good thing to have.
