Sunday Sundries

April 12, 2015 by Barb 5 Comments

Hello, and welcome to Sunday Sundries! A little informal link-up where I share what I’m celebrating this week and invite you to share what you are celebrating.

Yesterday we went on a little excursion to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park near Payson, AZ.

To quote the brochure:

Tucked away in a tiny valley surrounded by a forest of pine trees, Tonto Natural Bridge State Park has been in the making for thousands of years. It is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. The bridge stands 183 feet high over a 400-foot long tunnel that measures 150 feet at its widest point.

A tiny creek flows over the top of the bridge …

… and water runs along between the rocks at the bottom—creating a cool and refreshing area to sit and take in the beautiful surroundings.

I can’t tell how much I enjoyed this road trip, even though there were a couple glitches … I mean, who forgets their running shoes when heading out, knowing full well there is going to be a bit of a hike involved? Perhaps the same person who’s been sick with a cold all week and has decided to blame her forgetfulness on a stuffy head?

Arghh … I’m celebrating the fact that my hubby decided to not get too irritated, and was really quite attentive. I did manage to take the entire the walk; flip-flops, headache, and sneezy nose aside … .

After a yummy lunch at Macky’s Grill in Payson we headed back home for a relaxing evening.

Today I’m not much worse for the wear, but I must get going … I have a pedicure I desperately need to get to!

So, are you celebrating anything this week?

    Nothing to really celebrate here this week, although the weather has been beautiful, so I guess I could celebrate that ;) Hope you’re feeling better.

    I hope the nature walk and those pretty wild flowers made your cold go away :). Have a great week, and thanks for the party.
