Our Little Place Up North

In order to work at the Vineyard several days a week, I have rented a condo in nearby town of Cottonwood. Tom and I have gradually furnished it with remnants of each of our houses in Phoenix, added a few things and hung a few items on the wall and are beginning to feel at home in our new surroundings. We are trying to decide a name for our 'little place'. Thinking about 'the Edge'; or 'the Limits'; or 'the Fringe' because our unit in the complex is on the corner just one block from Safeway (really convenient) and just one block from a dirt road leading to a cattle ranch with horses grazing on beautiful green pastures near the Verde River. We love the contrast and ease of walking out the door for a long strole through the country or a quick visit to pick up food to make for dinner. The views are incredible of Mingus Mountain and the wide open hills and valley of the high desert. Besides all that, it is about 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix. What a treat!
