I am glad you enjoyed the evening and now my post too. Thank you. (we haven't got a "next"). Yet. :)<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Thank you very much Michaela,<br />I am proud of the U.S. and all it's many many treasures. I've been to every state but a couple and I've barely touched on all there is. I hope you come back someday too. I would LOVE to see Sweden also (and Norway and Denmark and..)i've only been as far north as Holland. Someday...<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Tracy, <br />I remember that year, wildflowers were going off all over California. We were trying to make it to all the spots, Anza Borrego, Carrizo Plain, Figuroa Mountain... how awesome you were in Death Valley! Did you get some photos? I bet they were gorgeous.

They turned out so well :) <br /><br />Impromptu adventures are the best - spontaneity is definitely a key to happiness :) <br /><br />My friends and I went camping in Death Valley a few years ago when it rained so much that for the first time in over a hundred years there were wildflowers growing in Death Valley - so we all packed up our gear and headed out. It was a blast!<br /><br />It sounds like you had a wonderful New Year's Eve, Lori. Here's to hoping that 2010 is wonderful as well :)Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-3779148897738291182010-01-05T13:48:08.968-08:002010-01-05T13:48:08.968-08:00Oh Lori, I really envy you for living in the US, I...Oh Lori, I really envy you for living in the US, I do.
