Antiquing today in Tucson

Today we went antiquing in Tucson, we went to 2 different malls, the second one the Copper Country Antique Mall was just incredible. Found some gorgeous jewelry there, we could have bought lots and lots, but didn't.

We had a nice visit with our neighbours here in the park, they live in Qualicum, they were the ones who suggested we come to stay here, and we stayed and chatted outside on their deck in the warm air for ages and ages.

Tomorrow there is coffee in the clubhouse, a fashion line of clothing is sponsoring it, and then after that the Ceramics room is having a show of their wares that they all made while they were staying here this winter.

We had a wooden cupboard nearly come off in Di's hand yesterday, so today Lary unscrewed it and took it over to the woodworking shop, they glued it back together, the glue had dried out in the heat. And there is a second one that needs almost the same type of repair tomorrow, perhaps even a bit more damage, so Lary will make another visit there. They have the glue and the clamps, and in this type of heat it all dries very quickly thank heavens.

Don't want to take a wrecked trailer back to the Okanagan to trade it in. We actually have the A/C on in the late afternoons, in the evening after sundown it cools off, but late afternoons it is still blisteringly hot. Truck read 90 degrees in the sunshine today on the way home. Weatherman says that the temps are way over seasonal, and that this weekend they will go down 20 degrees or so. Should be interesting.

We leave here next Wednesday, to go over to Pilot Knob on the CA/AZ border for a couple of days or so.
