Tom is on his way. He called a bit ago to tell me his first leg of the journey was done. He said his flight was rough although the weather didn't look too bad between here and Dallas. I'm glad I wasn't on that flight as I am not crazy about flying these days. Unfortunately so many places I want to go require a plane flight!
A few nights will be okay with Tom in Arizona then I will be ready for a visit from him. It will take some getting used to doing things like eating by myself and even watching TV. A lot of people watch TV when they are by themselves but I really only like to watch when I have someone to "share" it with. When I lived in my little beach cottage I had a television in my room that I probably turned on a hand full of times. I only liked to watch in the main room when others were around! Maybe this will help me work on some of those projects I was always going to get around to.
So I finally had some down time to look up some things about the Tuscon area regarding things we can do when I get there. There seemed to be a good bit of state parks in the south of Arizona but as I simultaneously went through them I discovered that about half of them will be closing in the next two to three months due to government cuts. What a disappointment! I am excited to see there are several hot air balloon companies. I tried that up in the mountains of NC and loved it so much that I feel like I have to try it again.
Okay, time to look up some more cool things to do in Arizona...
