Minnie,
Have a blast! I am so jealous! Half of my family lives in Phoenix, and I really am wishing I could be there right now, even with the heat.
Frizzy hair? Usually not me, till the humidity from the corn fields in Iowa sink in, then the straight hair starts doing wild things - thank goodness for the ponytail holders!!!!

Ditto here...
We don't 'do' summer in Ireland, just the odd day when everybody goes mental and fries themselves cos we never know when the sun will appear again.
Rain capital of the world, I reckon.
Soak it up, Minnie!

Living in the midwest and experiencing the 4 seasons is amazing....
I can't imagine living anywhere where you couldn't enjoy the colors
of fall, the crisp air of winter, the re-birth that spring brings and summers
hot (yes humid) days out at the pool......we really have it all here.....

I'm here!! Having soooo much fun. Met Cynay and her family for dinner before a meeting last night (hiya, hon!!) and now off to Sedona and the Grand Canyon overnight.
Some thoughts on the US so far - the people are warm and friendly, the food portions are enormous and I get paralysed by the amount of choice on offer. Oh, and for me, it's cheap. I definitely needed to bring that extra bag. (Hit the Victoria's Secret sale yesterday.)

Ok... Had the pleasure to meet Minnie last night at dinner....
Just as you would expect she is as beautiful on the outside as we have all come to know how beautiful she is on the inside. I love meeting people that you already know and love.

I agree,Patty. (We in NE Ohio (near Cleveland) get "your" weather a day later
) Just about the time I start getting bored, we are starting into the next season.I like to visit other places, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I'd miss the "real" trees,too! I find the changing seasons really tunes me into my HP sometimes when/as nothing else does.

If I want it, I can drive to it in about an hour. That happens about once a year. Otherwise, I get the rest, the gorgeous liquidambers that turn brilliant orange and red in the fall, the pecan in the back yard that comes back to life from May to October and EIGHT BEAUTIFUL MONTHS in the pool with NO HUMIDITY!!!!that's all for now
