A quick January visit to Saddlebrooke, Arizona (just north of Tucson) was a welcome break from winter. My Madison to Dallas to Tucson flight felt quite luxurious. Usually, I hop on a bus to O'Hare for better prices and connections. I left Wednesday, Jan 14 and returned Tuesday, January 20.
Tennis buddy Brenda lives there with her husband Owen for five months of the year. Jim finds it hard to reschedule tennis lessons, so, I decided to go on my own.

Great petroglyphs at Honeybee if you walk back far enough
Saddlebrooke is nestled between a ridge and then towering mountains. Someone called it a "Disneyland" for seniors. Owen golfs most days and Brenda plays tennis or pickleball for hours at a time. In addition there are clubs of all varieties: bridge, books, games, discussions, you name it.

Tennis, pickleball, hiking and eating filled my days. What fun to see the sun every day with stunning sunsets to end them.
Now that I'm back home the sun rarely peaks out and I'm coming down with another cold. Darn! I wish I could go back and bake in the sun.
