Back from the USA

[Barbara]

Oh yeah, we had a great holiday:

We could get up early in the morning (thanks to jet lag)

We were sure that saguaros only exist in cowboy novels but no: they are real:

They have so beautiful flowers:

We met friendly natives:

And we brought these wonderful dishes for our sweeties here that are made by Bunny (Catsn'clay)-aren't they absolutely cute?

Tigris and Filou are very fine. They don't let us alone and I had more kitty kisses then ever since yesterday.

Some (not too many) more pictures are here:

Of course Siegmar (the one with the cat T-shirts) took 26 films with analogue pix. But usually it takes a month or so until they are framed, named and sorted........

We just loved it- it was gorgeous.

Wow Barbara! Your pictures are great! I know you had a great time, and these prove it!!

Can't wait to see the pictures Siegmar too of my boys!!

[Cataholic]

Welcome back! I am glad you had a good time over here. Those cactus are something else!!

[IttyBittyKitty]

I just bet that your kitties are glad to see you! I am glad you had such a nice holiday. I'd love to go on a holiday to the U.S. one day!

[carole]

It sounds like an awesome time was had by all, i just wanted to know about those wonderful cat dishes, i would love to get my hands on some too, very unique.

[Randi]

Wow, those cactus are HUGE! :eek: And what pretty flowers they have! :)

I'm glad you had a great time over there and met some friendly natives of all sorts. ;)

The "I don't do mornings" t-shirt would be just perfect for John! LOL!

Looking forward to see the rest!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Glad you had a great time and glad you are back! Isn't it funny (or maybe it is just me...) I don't think of my own country as a tourist destination and yet there are fabulous things to see -- as you did!

[Miss Meow]

Welcome back! The pics (and Mondays t-shirt) are great! :)

[NoahsMommy]

Very nice pictures! I'm glad you had such a nice time. :)

Those bowls are adorable...I love her stuff. :)

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

Welcome home! I am glad that you had a good trip home and that your boys are giving you many kitty kisses. I bet that they are very happy to see you! It was very nice to meet you, too. Your pictures are great--thanks for sharing your trip.

[kimlovescats]

What a wonderful trip.... so glad you enjoyed it!
It was really nice to "meet" you and Andrea too... what a great picture of you both!
I never realized that a cactus would grow that tall...that is amazing!!!!
I LOVE the pet dishes from Cats N Clay.... could you give me her website addy again? I might need to get me some of those!!!;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Welcome home/back! I'm glad you had such a good time and were able to meet some fellow PT'ers. :D

I'm sure you probably heard this, but the Saguaro doesn't get it's first "arm" until it is at least 100 years old! So that one you found must have really been ancient! If only it could talk. :) We have a friend who lives around Phoenix and he said that if they are going to build anything - strip malls, etc. - the contractors have to actually dig up and relocate any saguaros that are on the property. It's not good enough for them to cut them down and plant others somewhere else to replace them because they grow so slowly that if the old ones were cut down it would be forever before they got as big again as the one in your picture.

When I see a Saguaro, that tells me that I am really in the wild, wild West. :D

[ramanth]

Great pics! :D

Glad you had a wonderful trip. :)

[HayleyRosie]

Great pictures! It looks like you had a great vacation. I love the cat dishes you purchased.

[RICHARD]

glad to hear you made it back safely and that you enjoyed your vacation.....

one thing though....those cacti are fake....
i had a friend who works in the movies put them out for you!!;) ;)

now, to get them all back into storage!!!:eek:

[lynnestankard]

For all of you interested in my cat pieces, I'm still working on the website, it's coming along, slowly. But, if you e-mail me I will be glad to send you pictures & prices. Once I get the site up it will be in the Marketplace and I will let everyone know.

Thanks for all the compliments! That is really nice of everyone. My e-mail is: [email protected]:)
