Pine is a very small mountain community that is mostly made up of second homes. However, it seems more and more people are choosing to live in the Pine/Strawberry, AZ, vicinity year round. Pine is about 10-15 miles North of Payson. The store has been opened about a year and has a wonderful selection of fabrics and accessories. The owner, BJ, does long arm quilting. The store offers quilting classes and quilters from Payson, Prescott, Mesa, Phoenix and Flagstaff drive to attend. Pine is about 1.5 hours South of Flagstaff when I use Lake Mary Road. It's a more scenic route than I-17.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP3Ap2zrov4mLkwxCQyIxOtO2wOaf2_wta_DD39CkrEVK5kTZgBqIuFtNZGR-72wZR8DlVcflwZZ3oPF3aC8u-KnAKjCau128TsOLxHwkmCcA0gj-0ow1p7UTbOAxtOScv98ks2vX9/s1600-h/Pine-quilt-store.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382815192398714226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP3Ap2zrov4mLkwxCQyIxOtO2wOaf2_wta_DD39CkrEVK5kTZgBqIuFtNZGR-72wZR8DlVcflwZZ3oPF3aC8u-KnAKjCau128TsOLxHwkmCcA0gj-0ow1p7UTbOAxtOScv98ks2vX9/s400/Pine-quilt-store.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Marriannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06890098622096908368noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436274096260268692.post-85593565425018468282009-09-18T07:28:00.000-07:002009-09-18T07:30:59.093-07:009-11-09 - Flagstaff City Hall<div align="center">You can't see the sea of miniature flags on the ground to the left of the flag poles but they were there.

Can you believe an Elvis cookie jar? And a whole shelf of Elvis "stuff" to go with it? And today I am being treated to non-stop Elvis movies. That man had a voice and the looks to go with it. I don't care if he got overweight when he got older, and that he probably didn't do all that he should have done to take care of himself; I still love his music. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370802075645695506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip0Z-Yg1y25R4a2lH9ZvBGxuTu66O491P9wDZ5DibkMGR3iHKoZ9rmaFdYbblulyc3S5wddaYAxwaOdan7cpq90WVu8X0DW3NO0Xn3iib-3sncPYatG855Cuh8xM_xZtQ53WMFRPWh/s400/elvis-8-15-09.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div>Marriannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06890098622096908368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436274096260268692.post-66120508449888572522009-06-14T13:37:00.001-07:002009-06-14T13:41:46.114-07:00365/85 - Cute pugs<div align="center">Chris and Deb Navarro have the cutest pugs.

We left her house about 9am and went to the local Sal. Army store to browse around. Then to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles to renew her handicap placard (which is still in my car here in Flagstaff). Then I went to McDonald's for a egg biscuit and their $1 large ice tea (my new favorite vs. diet soda). After that, I drove to the Interior Fabrics store in Scottsdale and got some beaded trim.

He is also requesting physical therapy once a week outside the home since the in-home is finished. The last thing I asked for is a referral for a hearing aid for Mom. We'll see what happens. But she is doing pretty well. While I was there we walked to McDonald's and Walgreens one day. We got manicures another day. And we did several things on Friday before the doctor visit.

However, it seems she wants to let go and move on. She won't talk about it but the feeling is there when I'm with her. I expect a phone call one of these days but in the meantime, I'm leaning on my faith and prayer to get me through this season.<br /><div></div>Marriannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06890098622096908368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436274096260268692.post-52115859675545279072009-05-31T19:59:00.000-07:002009-05-31T20:02:45.747-07:00365/75 - Flagstaff IrisWhile making the rounds of yard sales yesterday, I found some absolutely lovely blooming iris plants in two different gardens. Took this with the Canon 50D zoom lens. I took others with the macro lens, too. Look at the transparent quality of this flower. I promised the lady I would make her some prints. She deserves it. Wish I could capture the entire back garden.
