After spending several days in Kentucky for Sonny's Memorial Service, its good to be back home on the ranch. We arrived yesterday at noon. I had a quick lunch and set off on a hike. There were big clouds with sky peaking through. Sun was hitting the mountains in small patches. The views in every direction were magnificent!
I left home in Kentucky when I was 18, to go to college in Florida. I moved to Tucson just after college graduation in 1979, to go to work at Ernst and Ernst. Papa and I married in January 2001. Since then, Papa and I have lived in Dallas, Sarasota, and back to southern Arizona in 2003. While in Kentucky this past week, I was reminded of a big part of the reason I left... better weather and a larger sense of place in Arizona. I enjoy seeing the sky and seeing for miles in every direction. Mountains are a bonus! The sunsets are too. Last night's sunset was breathtaking!
