Yesterday was one of those days that makes blogging even better. Four bloggers and one wife met for food and fun. On the left is your truly. Next to me is Donna who the Wind Kisses, then Marsha who’s Always Write. Behind us you’ll find John (Journey with Johnbo) and on the far right, his lovely wife Lynn.
I’ve met fellow bloggers in a variety of places in the U.S. and one epic meeting on a boat on a canal in France. Although this was a more mundane location, it was just as much fun. I also had the best corned beef hash I’ve ever had in a restaurant (although not as good as mine) and the worst mocha. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful meeting. I know we’ll be seeing each other again!
Saturday I was on the road by 6:15 am heading down to Tucson to meet another fellow blogger (and another Lisa), from (https://peaceoflife.today/). Since we both like the outdoors and bird-watching, we met at Sweetwater Wetlands where we walked, chatted, and took photos. (The actual website is rather boring, so here’s a link to the Yelp site where you can read more about it or go to the website and scroll down for some more interesting information.)
After we were done there, my mission was to visit Seven Cups, a highly-touted tea house serving and selling only Chinese tea and tea accouterments. Unfortunately, they didn’t open until 11 am so we went with my second choice, The Scented Leaf where, for an additional cost, you can have CBD added to your tea! Yeah, that’s so not me but we did enjoy sipping our tea outside, watching people and traffic go by. After that, we made our way to Seven Cups where the seating area wasn’t open, browsed and bought tea, then had a delicious lunch next door at Tumerico, a vegan and vegetarian Latin restaurant. It was a great day.
But…on my way from a precious parking spot in downtown to The Scented Leaf, I passed the Rialto Theater which had…ta ha…doors!! Even when in somewhat of a hurry, you have to stop for doors.
This door wasn’t exactly fancy, but its redeeming feature was…
…a pretty cool mural next to it. Just FYI, no political meaning to this either way, just admiring the art.
Road trip today!! I’ll be taking the most boring drive in the US from Phoenix to Southern California for a week-long visit with our older daughter and her husband. I’ll have posts each day while I’m gone and I’ll respond to comments, but the only visiting I do will be there. I’ll make up for it when I get back, I promise, and you know there will be photos of the ocean, doors, flowers, and who knows what else. 🙂 Be safe and healthy while I’m gone and do talk to me because I miss each of you if you don’t.
This, that and the other thing
