We decided this was the year to venture south to the colourful state of Arizona to take pictures for future paintings. Please check back later for copies of our finished works of art.
Thank you to Great Canadian for a marvellous adventure and especially our Tour Director, Jen and our Driver, Mike.

ALICE FROM DALLAS
by Noel Martin
In Texas we met Alice from Dallas,
Her heart filled with love and no malice,
From her income as a guide,
Including tips on the side,
She had hopes of buying a palace.
Alice kibitzed with Mike to begin,
Then took over the reins from our Jen,
She was dressed up to the nines,
And her unrehearsed lines,
Made us chuckle again and again.
She toured us around Dallas the pretty,
Her comments insightful and witty,
All along rich Turtle Creek,
Where the huge mansions bespeak,
Of affluence in this Texas City.
The Lady showed us a whole awful lot,
Including where Kennedy was shot,
Together walking the Knoll,
She the sad story retold,
And her theory on "who dun it" we got.
A guide with great charismatic powers,
We knew her not more than two hours,
When too soon she had to leave,
Well this may be hard to believe,
But already we felt she was ours!
