Hiya Ruth!

->  HN> as Sabino Canyon, and the Caverns in Tucson.
->  HN> We tried to get into Karchner Caverns on our
-> 
-> We went in summer of 2000, shortly after they opened up. After seeing
-> some of the other caves/caverns, it wasn't all that impressive in our
-> opinions. YMMV.
-> 
I have a particular fondness for caves
so I'm sure I'd love to add it to my list
of caves that I have visited.
-> 
->  HN> last visit there but they were booked up. Bisbee
->  HN> is a nice visit too.
-> 
-> Bisbee is quite interesting, yes. It's got lots of neat shops to poke
-> around in. Ever been to Tombstone? We went, as tourists, our first week
-> end in AZ, when we wanted to get out of the hotel room (4 of us in one
-> room). Then we have been back qute a few times to visit friends and for
-> Steve to preach at the Baptist church there. He's also preached in
-> Bisbee, St. David's, Elfrida, Willcox and Sunsites.
->
Bisbee is nice, I had a friend who
lived there that wanted me to come
down and spend a few months doing
photography, but that was before
I retired and he's moved since then
to somewhere in upper Minnesota where
he's making harp guitars now.
 
-> -> -> Neither of us plays golf.
->  HN> ->
-> ->  HN> Tennis, Ping pong? swimming,
-> ->  HN> shuffleboard..there are LOTS
-> ->  HN> of choices! (grin)
-> 
-> -> Used to play first 2, can't now. Swimming is OK, could handle
-> -> shuffleboard probably. Visiting quilt shops/sewing stores (good sized
-> -> one at 35th Ave)--have to watch the $$ there that I don't over do.
(G)
-> 
->  HN> You can always find something
->  HN> you enjoy if you try!
-> 
-> Yes, and visiting 35th Ave was quite an adventure. It's a huge store and
-> they were moving to an even bigger location in the same plaza last year.
-> I picked up a number of goodies there. (G)
->
I tend to avoid stores if I can when 
on a trip. Coffee shops, small cafes,
and bookstores are another matter 
entirely!
 
-> -> -> We'd head to San Tan Valley to visit grand kids. There's also an
->  HN> olive
-> -> -> grove--www.QueenCreekOliveMill.com (working) right near Deborah
but
-> -> -> in Queen Creek (Maricopa vs Pinal county); we visited them last 
year.
-> -> -> Didn't get to then, but may some other time, The Pork Shop
-> -> -> (www.theporkshopaz.com) There's also Schnef Farms in the same
area.
-> 
->  HN> I looked up the San Tan Valley and it does
->  HN> not look that interesting, mostly suburbs
->  HN> and housing. California has a great big
-> 
-> No, not much appeal for you but we've got grandkids there. (G)
->
Nope. No grandkinds.
 
->  HN> olive growing area and we've stopped
->  HN> once or twice in that area...not a whole
->  HN> lot of "stuff" to see in an olive grove.
->  HN> Would be interesting to see em pressing
->  HN> for oil maybe. Now the Pork Shop on the
->  HN> other hand sounds like a place I'd love
->  HN> to visit!!
-> 
-> So I've given you a new place to check out. (G)
->
I never get tired of exploring!
 
-> ->  HN> Sounds interesting! See? LOTS to
-> ->  HN> see and do! No matter where you go!
-> 
-> -> I know, did you know about those 3?
-> 
->  HN> Nope.
->  HN>  But we manage to find lots of things
->  HN> to see and do when we go anywhere new!
-> 
-> Didn't think you knew about them but having spent some time right near
-> them (and visiting one), I figured you might be interested. We ran out
-> of time to visit the Pork Shop but will try to get over there the next
-> major trip we have to that area.
->
I've put it on the list! 
Chat with you soon!
