Christmas in Arizona

Yesterday we left the snowy Northwest and traveled to Arizona for a week with Husband's mom.

There's something so good about getting away from the usual surroundings, seeing the colors of the desert, and reconnecting with family stories. And then there's the enjoyment of watching the hummingbirds at the feeder, sleeping in in the mornings, and waking up to the delicious prospect of a whole day without someone else controlling one's schedule, crises walking in the office door to be solved, and committee meetings to attend.

This is good.
