arizona zen arizona zen friday december 14 2012 montana peak hike despite some pretty strong winds we had a glorious hiking day on thursday montana peak about 1 5 hour drive sw of here this place is surrounded by mountains in every direction and we continue to be amazed at the diversity of terrain vegetation and rock formations a couple weeks ago we hiked near tombstone i forget the name of the hike and i kick myself for not having brought my camera as the rock formations there were fascinating it was like a natural sculpture park jed is busy turning literally out pieces on the lathe at the wood shop he cut down some trees in our yard and is using material from the trunk it s still pretty green which presents some challenges but he figures it s great for learning technique and honing his skills i ve taken on some new duties in the clay studio as i ve volunteered to do test samples for the glaze committee with the goal of adding some new glazes retire old ones and find new ways of getting great results with what we have it s become quite an addiction for me really and i was today i ve become known as the glaze queen quite an honor i suppose at least i ll take it that way i opted not to swim today as it was quite chilly yesterday was the first time we have felt the need to turn on our furnace this cold even a bit rainy snap is expected to last a few days then it should be back to the sunny days we came here for posted by layne cook at 7 53 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday december 6 2012 still playing in arizona today was another bright sunny day and i went on an 8 mile hike with the club yesterday i played racquetball i hadn t played in about 20 years but i m pleased with how it s coming back to me quite a workout one gets in an hour of play and a lot of fun above is a tall lidded box i made in the clay studio jed is in seattle taking care of some business and seeing friends and family i stayed here because of a class i had signed up for i ll pick him up from the airport tomorrow and i bet he ll be glad to see the sun again never knew i was such a sun chaser but it sure makes things pleasant around here posted by layne cook at 6 06 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday december 3 2012 hiking on the mexican border last thursday we crossed int mexico 3 times on a hike with the club we visited 3 of the monuments along the mexican american border the weather was perfect the vistas exciting and the hike altogether perfect it was also jed s 65th birthday and he was surprised to get a personalized birthday song from woo hoo valerie you had to be there anyway we are delighted to have him on medicare because it increases our fun and travel budget woo hoo posted by layne cook at 8 01 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday november 27 2012 a new season begins prayer flag totem at entry we re nearing the end of a fabulous summer in seattle and beginning to think about arizona it s fun to think about returning to our little house there and enjoying another great 3 months or so of hiking biking swimming socializing and taking advantage of the great facilities particularly the wood shop and the clay studio we have now outfitted the house with wifi and basic cable so we actually have more home entertainment possibilities than we do in seattle the house is available for rent from february 18 until the middle of april rates and availability are noted at right posted by layne cook at 6 03 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday january 25 2012 back in seattle this was my big accomplishment in the time we spent in arizona this fall i finished it just before we left and didn t have time to grout it we bought the green tiles i made almost all the others in the clay studio we thoroughly enjoyed our time in green valley this time jed biked with a hard core group on tuesdays and took swimming lessons he also made a couple great pieces of furniture in the wood shop a coffee table for seattle and a cabinet in which to store our sports equipment in az we both hiked on thursdays with the club and really enjoyed some of the hikes in the saguaro national park barely north of tucson where you see not only great saguaros but interesting rock formations i love the clay studio and spend maybe even too much time there we did manage to play tennis once and work out in the fitness rooms maybe 10 times didn t play pickle ball even once too much to do too little time we are making more friends and enjoying social time as well this was the first time that i could envision spending even more time here the only drawback to that plan is friends and family especially our new grandson wish az and seattle weren t so far apart speaking of that we made a leisurely road trip of it this time 8 days and it was a lot more pleasant than trying to make it in 3 days we drove no more than 6 hours each day and visited friends or explored by ourselves in palm springs l a big sur napa arcata eugene and lebanon and portland nice posted by layne cook at 6 54 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday october 14 2011 heading to arizona we re leaving sunday on a road trip that will take us through oregon utah colorado new mexico and finally to green valley we ve never taken this route before it s a bit of a detour into colorado but we look forward to seeing some new territory arizona is starting to cool down a bit now so we look forward to temperatures in the 80 s we plan to add cable service and a wireless modem to the house amenities this fall i adjusted the rental prices just a bit to cover that we re still trying to keep them below market value and give rental preference to friends and referrals of friends that has worked quite well thus far we re looking forward to all the activities available in green valley there are some house projects that await us but we should still have lots of time for fun and travel i ll try to post a few blog entries about any interesting things we discover posted by layne cook at 7 19 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels arizona green valley wednesday december 1 2010 bisbee and tombstone my mom and sisters visited for a week and we spent 2 days and a night in bisbee an old mining town in s e arizona we had a marvelous time the drive is an easy 2 25 hours and it s very scenic we stopped in tombstone for a quick look it s very touristy but the history is authentic and interesting in bisbee we stayed at the gym club suites which is an old ymca right in the heart of town and across from a public parking lot it has been converted into a charming hotel and the prices are very reasonable we had dinner at the cafe roka which is considered one of arizona s best restaurants and rightly so like much of bisbee it s only open thursday through sunday i had made reservations a few days prior to our visit on saturday we hiked around town a bit very interesting as there are many creative people who have personalized the old miners shacks with color yard art and funky fences then we drove past the open pit mine to bisbee breakfast club a must for every bisbee trip in our jed s and my opinion delightful as always we spent about an hour in the mining museum which tells the story of the mining process and the people who once populated this once thriving town we hired a walking historical tour guide michael who was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining and we checked out the galleries and shops on main street and in brewery gulch we did not go on the mine tour having run out of time but i highly recommend it all in all it was a wonderful time i love bisbee and i m happy to go there at least once a year tombstone bar girls barb and
