Things I WON'T miss and WILL miss about Arizona

THINGS I WON'T MISS

1. The strong smell of the Dairy Barns and feed lots that are near the roads we traveled.
2. Jumping cactus that seemed to like to attach to me when walking in the desert.
3. Cheap wine
4. Interstate driving at peak hours
5. Intermittent WiFi reception
6. Arizona dentists
7. Short showers and lack of hot water ( we have that solved now)
8. Mesa Swap Meet or Market
9. Red necked prejudiced people that we ran into, who hated anyone who was not white and would pull a gun if they could get away with it.
10. Americans who believe that the Canadian Medicare system is flawed and lots of people die waiting for appendix surgery.
11. American political mentality. Such hate for who ever is in power vs the Canadian way where we might not agree with the party in power but we respect our leader.
12. The airplanes early in the morning but we did get used to it after awhile.

THINGS I WILL MISS

1. The new friends we made and the old friends with whom we got to spend time.
2. Playing canasta every day that I could at 11:45
3. Only seven miles to drive to shop
4. Waking up every day to clear skies and sun
5. Driving into Casa Grande and seeing small mountains on all sides
6. Looking out the window and seeing palm trees and cacti
7.In a Pear Tree ( my fav store)
8. Craft classes and learning new art ideas
9. Pub cheese
10. Freshly picked oranges  (the sweetest you have ever tasted but go bad quickly as no preservatives)
11. Craft and Yard sales somewhere within driving distance every week
12. Honey Dates
13. Artisan Bread and Buns from the Tues market
14. Being able to have the sun roof open on the car every day
15. Louie and Philip who did my pedicures for $20 and my gel nails for $35 and a fill for $15 and who also increase my knowledge of their hardships of their life in Viet Nam
16. Seeing Harvey enjoy his billiard mornings with his new friends.

So friends and relatives who read this blog...it is now done until the next time I get the urge to write about something important in my life... I think I may start a craft blog but not for awhile..I need a break. I now have 5 blogs that will be inactive.  I sure wish they just went away, as I find it hard just deleting them myself, as just a little of one's soul are in those written words.
Thank you for reading, thank you for your nice comments, thank you for understanding that they are just my words and may not be the way you think..but isn't it wonderful that we all are different.
