Goodbye to Tucson

Hey y'all! I am back home in Louisiana. Homer is an excellent host. Even though we've hung around each other on two previous occasions, this was the first time we got to spend a lot of time together one-on-one.

Homer is an extremely warm hearted soul. It was fun to immerse myself in his world and hangout with his fun buds. Let me tell you, those Tucson boys sure fall for a Southern drawl! I smiled so much this weekend as the locals were all very friendly to me.

It was fun to observe all of Homer's pets too. Henny Penny is delightful. His cast of cats (Mama Cat, Joey, Snowball, and Puff) were entertaining to watch. Joey and Mama Cat are very well mannered. Snowball has lightening quick reflexes. What can I say about Homer's most charismatic pet Puff? Well... Puff tried his darnedest to be good during my entire stay, but he could not hold out any longer. Puff sure lived up to his bad kitty reputation on my last night in Tucson.

During this trip, I got an unexpected bonus. A friend of mine (John) was able to meet up for competitive games of tennis and show me around Phoenix before I flew back home. This was the first time John and I met in person after being Internet buds for the last seven years.

I had so much fun in the warm sunshine of Arizona, that I was sad hugging everyone "goodbye". Perhaps sometime this Summer I can make another trip back. Thanks Homer, Tucson, and John for making this trip very memorable.
