February 14, 2012 ~~ A Very Special Day

Today marks the 100 Year Anniversary of Arizona Statehood and we have actually had our TV on this morning to follow the celebration being held in Phoenix, the capitol of our winter home state. After nearly 49 years as a U.S. territory and thousands of years as a sacred home to indigenous peoples, Arizona became the 48th and last of the contiguous states to enter the Union of the United States of America on February 14, 1912.

I was so excited to find this photo online this morning because this was taken very near where we are living right now at the base of the Superstition Mountains in Apache Junction, AZ! Where we have our RV looks much different than this, but we don't have to drive far for this to still be what we see.

Happy 100th Birthday, Arizona!

Far more widely known is that today is Valentine's Day. Hopefully you too will be celebrating with your One And Only, as am I!

This is a day to also celebrate a milestone for this blog 'o mine. As of this morning there have been 9,980 visits to my blog since I started it two years ago...WOW! If this is a typical day...if you all click onto Meandering instead of hanging out with your loved ones...giggle...this day will see that number exceed 10,000 visits. Thank you, thank you!

Happy Valentine's Day to All of You Who Continue to Bless Me by Visiting This Blog!

Lovin' Life ~~ And Celebrating This Very Special Day
