The Long Road to Bisbee

We traveled south along the Coronado Trail,

headed to Bisbee for a couple of days.

It was a beautiful drive,

as we were able to see

various parts of our great state.

Golden Fall Leaves

A gorgeous view

Jailed in Clifton, Arizona, where Mom used to live (in Clifton, not in jail)

The prisoners look too happy inside the jail caves.

Grinning on the Train

All Aboard!

Choo-choo Dancing

We visited Great-grandma's grave in Safford.

If You Give a Cael a Camera...



"It makes music and sings."

Listening to Mom's new IPod

Cael Incognito






Rock on!

Cael's First Pet

Cael brought home a goldfish from the Navajo County Fair. Aunt Sarah assured me that the fish was better than the rabbit he could have won, so I warmed up to the idea of a pet. We purchased a "new home" for OJ (short for Orange Juice, since it was orange), food, decorations for the home, and a net to get him out for cleaning time. Against my better judgement, knowing the short life span of aquatic pets, I became attached to little OJ, as did Cael, of course. We enjoyed OJ for ten whole days, and then, alas, he floated up to the top of heaven, leaving an empty bowl and a sad boy behind. Thank you for being Cael's first pet, OJ. We will fondly remember you.

Sick Cael

Cael wasn't feeling well. He wanted to be with me, so he came into the bathroom area with his pillow and blanket and fell asleep. "Mom, my coughs make me sick," he would say.
