Thatcher, Arizona......

....one place where you can have one hick of a time!  Haha, thanks to my bro-in-law for coining that unforgettable phrase.  There's no place like home.  I love coming back to Thatcher to visit and all the memories it brings back.  I hadn't been back since last Christmas!  That's the longest it's ever been.....

We had a grand 'ol time.  Not to mention the weather was FAB...... sunny & fairly warm.  Our adventures included the following....

Delicious breadsticks at R&R Pizza, shredded beef tacos at Casa Manana, burros at La Casita

Drive through back country dirt roads.  Who knew there would still be cotton in December??

Frozen hot chocolates at DQ..... one of the few locations left that have them

Mom's famous tacos for Christmas Eve dinner

Christmas Day church

Trying out our new quillows (handmade by Mom) on Christmas morning

Hike to the top of one of the mesas

Beautiful view of Mt. Graham

Wouldn't be a trip to the Gila Valley w/out some excitement at Safford Bowl

And of course, stockpiling my supply of tortillas for the next few months
