Twice Nice Thriftique and Chimney Rock, Sedona

We love a good thrift store, where good = low prices + decent stuff. So, it made us nervous to read Twice Nice described as a Thriftique. It's hard for me to be snarky, because it's the income stream for a local women's shelter - a fine cause. It's hard, but not impossible, and I can push through it.

Already dressed in clothes not purchased at a thriftique, we felt underdressed. We started rifling through the merchandise like the unwashed masses. I had to put on my reading glasses, because I kept seeing extra zeros, but the glasses must have been dirty because the zeros were still there.

If you need to dress professionally, you'll do well here and you'll support a good charity while you're at it. If you dress like we do, meet me on Bag Day (somewhere other than Twice Nice, whose only bag is a Vuitton).

Chimney Rock. We circled it, but it did not become suspicious.

Javelinas were no danger to Ducks.

Vicki's pet was hurt by a javelina this week. We are now mad at all peccaries.

Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness - Boynton Canyon Trail

Bear warning, http://thegoodluckduck.com


Annie believed Jean and Skip when they said this trail was easy, so we wrapped our feet up in hikers and headed out. Those guys got flute music, but we met a friendly and generous soul who invited us to use a lock-out unit of her timeshare. We win!

Thanks, Pat! The hot tub is especially tempting!
We met when I thought she was a bear. I got over it.

Yes it's waxing, and don't call me Gibbous.

The House. A guide said he has a Starbucks in there, and invites the neighbors. It would take more than that.
