Trip to Visit the Folks

What's with the gap in blog posts? Well, we went to visit my parents in Prescott, Arizona - Arizona's Christmas City. thanks to our farm sitter who made it all possible!

My parents are in good health. While there Ken did nearly daily yoga ( I call it the yoga-thon) as my parents give him a class pass and he upgrades to unlimited. I hit the coffee shop two doors down to check and answer emails and other internet correspondence.  And we got to go to a contra dance - hurrah! We also went to Prescott's Christmas parade - always fun to see the cowboys and this year it was snowing. Our friend Loring was in the Christmas Carol float that won a prize!

We also took a side trip to Flagstaff where we went to tai chi classes, galleries, saw a Woody Allen film (they don't get to our area - Ken says they are considered foreign films in northwestern Wisconsin), local museums, and checked out ruins - next trip.   Our return to Prescott included some of Ken's favorite driving through Sedona and Jerome - we try to do that each visit.

Of course we visited natural food stores, and a CSA outlet in Flagstaff. My folks connected us with some Local young farmers and we got to visit their farm and compare challenges and successes - what a pleasure to tour their farm and chat with them.

And Ken cooked up a storm much to parent's delight. They froze some of the soup and are delighted to have ready meals in the freezer.
