May 26, 2019 – Phoenix
Spent the day at the Desert Botanical Garden.
Dale Chihuly installation
Organ Pipe Cactus
I was so taken by the Saguaro Cactus. (suh·waa·row). Saw miles and miles of them driving down to Phoenix.
Artichoke
Had lunch with my ole pal Michael and his wife Vera. It had been years – can’t let that happen again.
BLM -0-
Off to Vegas. Arnie has wanted to play in The World Series of Poker for years. Check it off the bucket list ? No, he says because I didn’t finish in the money.🥺
Had a great dinner at one of our favorites.
2 nights at the Rio – he won’t tell me the cost
Valley of Fire State Park – Overton, NV
The oldest and largest State Park in Nevada.
sidenote: The outside Mars scenes from Total Recall, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, were almost totally shot from Valley of Fire.
Cracker Barrel – St. George, Utah -0-
Don’t you love the desert? Mesmerizing! Great photos. Watch out for rattlesnakes; their fond of Dazey girls. 😳
The nature is AWESOME! Especially the tall weird green thing! TEXT me if you are going to get out this way!!
