Time to go home. What a fun week!!!
On The Way 
omg, you should have stayed in arizona!
We’re so glad you’re home safe! You’re among those who light up the gray skies of Oregon. Looks like you had a stellar time! Is the Chihully show still in DBG or did he leave the glass yuccas behind as a parting gift?
The show was over–darn it–but there were these three left in the front of the garden–a wonderful place. I found I quite like the desert…
