Mark’s Cycling & Hiking Blog

 

I was encouraged by a friend to accompany her to a section of Tucson I’d not previously visited.  We wandered in and out of various buildings, each containing an eclectic selection of antiques and novelty houseware. One place had a stack of wood doors from gosh, I don’t know, the 1930’s? Who would buy that? Many comparable items.

And so, our cold snap ended….

….it’s been an amazing run of days stretching now into December.  

Christmas displays are popping up including the continuation of….

….this famous fellow who stands for most of the year, enduring several costume changes. Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc…

This one says it all. Pretty funny!

A Pilgrams hat kept this Halloween skeleton in service.  I think the hat is called a capotain. 

Thanksgiving morning as I stop by Sabino Canyon to find the parking lots packed. Out of town visitors love coming here for the hiking or riding the tram up SC Road.

I was invited to attend Thanksgiving dinner in Chandler.  It’s on the southeast side of Phoenix and a convenient drive.  It was a beautiful setting and we dined outside!  I’m certain I’ve never eaten outside for Thanksgiving and it was quite pleasant. I was one of twenty. I got my ass kicked at ping pong by the family champ but the table was like playing on a mattress and so, the “home field” advantage was too much for me to overcome, lol.
