back in the saddle in tucson

i've been crazy busy since i got back and it's not letting up for the weekend. i'm going to a Sweet Sixteen party tonight up in Oracle, and tomorrow night some other friends are hosting their 21st annual Corn Roast....they buy about 10 bushels of corn and roast them in a pit fire in their yard along with green chilis. it's awesome!

here are some pix from my trip, there will be more later. right now i am baking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for tonight, so my posting will be a little spotty as i have to tend to the oven.
