Where has this month gone?

I cannot believe it is the end of February already!  Where has this month gone?  Oh yeah, to the doctor appointments!  Now I remember!!!

Last Sunday Ric was here for a day.  He was on a business trip to Mesa, but came down here for the day.  We really enjoyed seeing him.  Niece Claudia and husband Larry drove over from Casa Grande as well.  Of course the weather showed off for them...cold, cloudy and tried to rain!  It is suppose to do the same thing this weekend.  Glad I don't work anymore and have to count on the weekends. 

Speaking of cold, the last deep freeze we had here in Tucson has done in a lot of our plants in the area.  All the beautiful palm trees look dead,dead, dead; the Saguro cactus aren't fairing much better.  The local agriculture people are saying not to do anything with them yet; they may survive and come back, but I have my doubts.  My bouganvilla; and all 4 citrus tree's we planted last spring are dead.  I had them covered, but apparently that didn't do any good.  DARN...and I babied them, feeding them and making sure they had enough water to survive the hot heat of summer.  Oh well...at least I tried. 

We met Gary and Jeannette for breakfast this morning at a place called Franks.  What a dive.  What a great breakfast!  I think this place should be on "Diners, Drive-in's and Dives" on the cooking channel.  Matter of fact, I think I will submit it.  In the morning it is called Franks; in the evening it is Francisco's.  Very small; seats probably 30 inside and maybe 10  outside; nothing fancy about this place, but the food is super!  And inexpensive. And did I say good?  One of the best kept secrets in Tucson...did I mention it was a dive?  But it was clean.  And good...but still a dive.  Now I want a Sonoran Hot Dog!  Darn, the food cycle has started.  There are so make quirky places in this town to eat and most of them are so darn good.  Don't need no fancy smancy places to eat when there are places like Franks, or Sunnyside Up, or El Guero Canelo.  Gotta' quit talking about these places...I'm hungry.
