Breaking News:
Girlfriends meet up for art retreat in the One Red Chair Studio. Location different this year but

Enjoying Arizona...

which, because it knew we were coming, gave us sun, but not too much; breeze, but not too substantial; warmth, just the right amount, and the color "sky," the blue one not the gray.
