Mom’s Musings

This photo is of my mom and me, taken when our family lived in Flagstaff, Arizona. I think I was four or five years old in this photo. I really enjoyed Flagstaff, since you really experience the changing seasons there, including getting lots of snow in the wintertime. This was all new to me at the time, since I was born in Phoenix, of desert-y dryness. In the winter, one might need a sweater, but not a coat.

While we lived in Flagstaff, my dad once built us an “igloo” of compacted snow, and took us sledding near our home. That was very special to a child used to the desert.
