when stephanie was in town, we met up with brenda and becky in downtown phoenix.
we grabbed coffee at jobot, then walked over to the sunflower fields.
afterwards, we went downtown to see where brenda worked.
becky took the photos of me.

laundry detergent
i like doing laundry.
i like ironing.
i can use it as an excuse to knit and watch the television.
well, you can’t knit and iron, but you get the idea.
anyway, i made my own detergent the other day using a recipe that ashley posted.
it was pretty easy, and once made, i poured it into my old laundry detergent container with the pour spout.
the nice part is saving money, and using the individual ingredients for other uses.
next i’ll be making homemade dishwasher detergent once my old store bought runs out.

club awesome trip: jerome post four
this is the post about out of africa.
i got to hold this little girl. her spikes actually are rather soft. just for show.
this one’s spikes are real though.
big kitty yawn
they had this lady little in a large pen where you could feed her for a fee. and pet her.
the tiger splash time was a little different because t was so cold.
they had toys and hoses and played with the cats like big kitties.
big kitties that could eat you.
we went on a safari and our driver miles stopped several times to give the animals treats.
this is boom boom. rescued from a hunt.
we got to pet and feed zebra.
by the way, they are black with white stripes.
a big treat was the giraffe-he was super wrinkly-miles said he was part sharpei.

club awesome trip: jerome post three
it was so beautiful up in jerome.
it snowed the first night. just a dusting.
the only bummer about my trip was that a rock fell from the face of the hill where i parked, dented my hood, and set off the alarm.
we had a gorgeous patio connected to two of our rooms.

the little town of jerome is pretty rad if you’ve never been there.
it sits on a hill and the main drag is lined with shops, bars, restaurants, and galleries.
it’s a bit quirky.
alyssa, bree, and i grabbed a snack at quince.
had a sampler plate with mushroom nachos, stuffed potato wedges, and quesadillas.
and a piece of pecan pie laced with bourbon.
