Whoa....look at that crazy amount of snow burying the Tahoe cabin. YIKES! Great to see they are having an awesome ski season around the lake! Photo from Pat.

The bathroom tile was completed last week!
We're happy with it! Now we can move items back in & function like a real bathroom (it's only been a year long process).:-/
We're not entirely finished either. We'll be ordering a corner cabinet (trying out the boxes to visualize the width & height) and we'll be painting the bathroom a blue/grey next week. Fitting mirrors & lights will be last (I think).

Orange juice & hot tea for me.
Can't shake this sore throat & cough. It's getting me down. :-(

Pretty sure I have more photos of Harley than any other thing or person on my blog. That's ok...we like this dog & don't mind it being about her. Maybe I should rename "Creative Living" to
"The Blog about the Dog". :-)

After touring Kartchner Kaverns we drove a little further to visit Tombstone. I wonder if these guys remembered me from October?
The famous OK Corral shootout...Doc Holiday & the Earp brothers against the McLaury brothers.
2 of the McClaury's & Billy Clanton didn't fair so well.
Bob Sr & I had our own little shootout with the tin men.
We both won. :-)
Tombstone was fun; walking the dirt main street, having lunch, and popping our heads in different saloons & shops. We drove home late afternoon & enjoyed the remaining evening and next morning with Pat & Bob before they left for CA. So glad they made the trip to AZ with enough days to tour 3 very cool holes & more.

Here is hole #3...a HUGE cave!
Kartchner Caverns is a place worth visiting. We took the 1 & 1/2 hour tour to see 2 of the impressive cave rooms. 3 large cavern rooms were discovered in 1967 by two college guys. Gary & Randy were out hiking and searching for caves in the area when they explored a sink hole.
That sink hole led to a whole new world! Above photo shows one of the main features in the Throne Room. This HUGE limestone column formed from dripping water that calcified!
Many small & large stalactites were hanging from the ceilings. These skinny ones are called soda straw stalactites. They are hollow inside & very fragile.
Amazing that those enormous & beautiful caves are inside these hills. And it's so fortunate that Gary & Randy (who had a love for caves) found them & protected them. They coordinated with the land owners to bring this discovery to the proper people & now its an educational state park.
