Kiss and Pink at the Fair
After recovering from our Phoenix trip, Saturday found Michael and I hitting the Cowlitz County Fair for entertainment and lunch. Michael, native of Portland, was given a real awakening to the caliber of locals and rednecks that run in the Longview/Kelso area - or at least those who hang at the fair. We wandered, we ate gyro sandwiches (very good - lots of veggies), listened to a Kiss wannabe band, visited with friends Sally and Janel, then made our way home. My favorite sight of the day? An older lady strutting around in a pink outfit topped with a bright pink fuzzy cowboy hat!!
An Updated Me!
It's summer and I just couldn't help myself! Last Thursday I hit the hair salon and had them cut my do into a chunky bob. The ends were dry and my hair in general seemed to be lacking style. Love my new cut, although the bangs are a bit short; thankfully my hair grows quickly!

Arizona Chapter Ten - Food
Food involves a big part of any vacation taken. Our highlights include:
The Good
Swap Meet Sno Cone - The heat was unbearable and the large cups of flavored ice hit the spot;
Wildflower Bread Company in Sedona - Yummy sandwiches including orzo or fruit salad with yogurt dressing;
Joe's Crab Shack - Our last stop before flying back home. It was very tasty and will be a new spot for us at home;
Camelback Fruit Water - Ice cold water mixed with cucumber, or pineapple, or strawberries hit the spot when we were lounging at the pool.
Subway - After spending two hours driving around Phoenix Saturday night in search of a meal, we were very happy to stumble upon Subway ten minutes before they closed. Damn those sandwiches tasted divine!
The Average
Denny's - Breakfast pit stop; nothing memorable other than my wheat pancakes packed with pecans and topped with bananas;
Ruby Tuesday - Slow service, unmemorable food, and a garden salad buffet which took me back to Wendy's in the eighties;
Boston Market - Rotisserie chicken was good but you can get something pretty close from Fred Meyer's;
The Ugly
Church's Chicken - Did not meet my expectations nor Michael's memory of delectable chicken; was actually very dry, a homeless toothless man was inside begging for a meal, and I had to fend off a stranger trying to strike up a conversation while Michael was in the restroom;
Circle K Breakfast - A sausage and biscuit brick eaten on the way to Sedona, which deserves no other comment.

Chapter Nine - Sedona
It took longer than we thought but when we reached Sedona, it was breathtaking. Both of us had been there before but not for many, many years. Our first stop was for lunch at the Wildflower Bread Company, including sandwiches on nutty bread which was so delicious! We then hit a few tourist shops before taking endless pictures of the fabulous red rock.
