| Way to go, Gail! I'm glad you'll be there (would Tucson be Tucson without you to be there and post photos and report on it??), and I'll look forward to seeing you there. Here's to your good health, always!

Jim and I drove 17 hours through an ice storm and hazardous conditions, then onto the desert and finally to Tucson, yesterday. We arrived at our hotel at 11 at night, pretty much zombies!
Still, we were here, magical Tucson!
After unloading the car and settling in, we hit the bed and slept soundly.
This morning, Thursday Feb 11th started with breakfast with friends, looking at minerals, and then on to getting ready for my presentation at the Pueblo Inn later in the day.

Thank you.

Well, thank you both! I couldn't stay awake long enough to finish posting last night. It was the Russian Vodka shot that was passed around by Ludmila last evening that did me in!
