Today Larry said, "Let's go someplace we haven't been before!" So I said, "Sure." We combed the paper for current happenings and looked through our Tucson Passport book of 2'fers. We finally came up with the highly recommended park in Oro Valley called Tohono Chul. We had a little trouble getting out the door. A football game was on and I noticed that the realtor next door was holding an open house. I went over to check it out. The realtor is a cousin of a neighbor I know and was very friendly. The house is in good shape if any of my readers want to buy close to Moss Lady. A remodeling specialist came by to give the realtor an idea about one improvement she was thinking of. I beat him to it and suggested a no cost way to solve the problem. I did get him to give me an estimate on what it would cost to convert our tub into a walk-in shower. It seemed reasonable. We may do that next year. Larry says no more projects this year. That's fine with me. We had a pleasant drive over to the park. I was surprised at how beautiful the landscape was. You have heard me talk about Sabino Canyon and Saguaro East. This park had more varieties of cacti planted more densely. Either things were planted that way or this park land has more natural water coming through it. At any rate, we enjoyed walking along the paths, then looking at the art gallery there. We plan to return in the spring when more cacti are blooming. The park is across the road from Whole Foods, so we went there afterward to get things for dinner. The afternoon turned out well and we did do something new for a change.
