2/27 Friday Catalina State Park, Tucson, AZ

We all slept in until about 9:30 am. Dad is feeling much better this morning.

Most of our group were out sitting around the fire ring listening to a talk on hiking the Arizona Trail.

We drove off to get Dad’s new prescriptions filled and mail Annelises’ confirmation dress to Missouri. Dad’s nurse last night was a fount of information regarding local places to “take care of business”.

There are a lot of new homes in this area, but no where to grab a bite to eat for breakfast. It was almost noon when I decided to head north on Oracle to Catalina. Mom saw a little building that looked like a restaurant. Since we had a 4x4, I did a little wandering on a single lane dirt track to u-turn to the restaurant “Sunnyside up CafĂ©”. We had a great breakfast/lunch. Lots of turnover, but service was good and fast.

We then waited in line for the Walgreens drive through to drop off one of Dad’s prescriptions, and had a nice chat in with the lady in the car next to us. Turns out this Walgreens is one of the busiest in the Tucson area. I could believe it.
Mama and I joined everyone at happy hour. Mama has made a lot of friends and has a great time chatting with everyone. Just before bed, I started preparing our fruit salad more tomorrow’s breakfast pot luck.
