After running around the last few days I decided to give the
grandparents a break and ventured out on my own in the greater Mesa, AZ area. I
had noticed in our previous outings that there was all kinds of metal art by
the roads and other unusual things that definitely needed a closer look. Somehow
I had forgotten that the southwest is full of roadside stands, forgotten
buildings and treasure trove of thrift stores. While I kept my wallet in check
(so very hard to do) a gentleman with a hook for an arm tried to convince me to
purchase the metal horse below for a steal at $1350 (if you notice it has $1600
on it). I politely declined his generous offer and instead tried to get him to
pose with the horse. He declined. After moving on from
‘Hook’ I nearly took out a pedestrian trying to pull into what has got to be one of the last DQ stands
in America. Inside and out this, fully open and operational, place is stuck in
a time warp and had to be photographed to be believed. I had no idea these
still existed, but it was fun to find. After I had completed my exploring I
arrived back at the house just in time to catch the spectacular sunset. The
colors in the sky were just amazing, vibrant and beautiful. I can’t wait to see
what tomorrow brings.
