Traveling to Spooky Jerome AZ
Monday, March 8th, 2010Traveling to Spooky Jerome, Arizona
A few miles and up the hillside – a very steep hillside/mountain – from Clarkdale and Cottonwood, Arizona is the historic town of Jerome, Arizona. The fact that residents pride themselves on their probable insanity is based on the location of the former mental asylum and the fact that the town is perched precariously on hillsides. Ironically, you drive through “Deception Gulch” to reach Jerome.

Busy in Bisbee AZ – Shopping!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Bisbee is quite the artists’ colony and gives a shopper many opportunities to find that perfect gift. We were looking for a pottery casserole with lid. Although we didn’t find that, both my husband and I had the exact same reaction to a gorgeous, red pottery bowl – We had to have it!
