St Pattys day in Tucson

We stopped in Tucson to hook up with friends. We hadn’t seen Ron Ezra and Teresa Bell since the eclipse party in Jackson Hole. And we were blessed to be able to share St. Patty’s Day with our friends Georgia and Ken Halloran who we hadn’t seen since their 50th wedding anniversary party a few years ago. Here’s us hiking around in Sabino Canyon in Coronado National Forest at the base of 9,200-foot Mount Lemmon.

Were surrounded by Irish folk! Both Ken and Georgia have significant roots leading back to Ireland. We think that Ken’s favorite holiday is St. Patrick’s Day by far. Although half of Teresa’s heritage leads back to Scotland (the Bell side of the family), the other half of her lineage leads right back to Ireland. So, there was a lot of green being worn around here.


As the shouts of Erin go Bragh sounded all around us, as well as strains of Tura Lura Lura that filled the air, we sat down to a dinner of traditional Irish Stew that Teresa whipped up. All in all, I think we did the holiday well.
We’ll be heading next to Surprise Arizona to hook up with brother Jerry and Brenda.
Talk to you soon!
