A Gadabout Weekly Link Round-Up


I've been a bit of a gadabout this week, so there aren't a ton of links for me to share. Things like getting the washer repaired so Denis could go to work in clean uniforms, watching it rain and seeing a rainbow, having my latest pap smear to ensure that cancer hasn't decided to take up unwelcome residence again, and other things have kept me from sitting at the computer.

Denis and I spent part of the afternoon at the Deer Valley Rock Art Center in the northwest Valley today, and we had a blast. I've been searching up a storm for more information about the place, but to no avail. The Center protects over 1500 petroglyphs in the Hedgepeth Hills of the northwest Valley. Denis and I walked an easy, short trail, encountered lots of wildlife that didn't seem overly concerned about our presence, saw lots of petroglyphs-- and took plenty of photos. I'll tell you all about our visit there at a later date, but I will show you this short video about the Deer Valley Rock Art Center:





Now let's get to those links!

  1. Thanks for the links as ever, Cathy. Oh, that video's interesting. It looks like a place that one could really enjoy!

    1. You'd never get the idea that you're in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country. Denis and I felt as though we were out in quiet and solitude of the desert-- and there's so much to see!

  2. Interesting video, although it did make me a bit dizzy as the camera swept back and forth. :) Usually people ignore the sights in their own area so I'm glad to see you and Denis aren't guilty of that.

    1. Well, it may take us a while to get to some of those sights, but we get to 'em eventually! LOL

  3. I loved those old comments in the illuminated manuscripts; had to share them with my daughter :)

  4. The manuscript comments were my favorite out of those links! I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't get the fascination with pinterest. I've visited and it's just not something that grabbed my attention or made me think "I've got to pin something." Every other blogger I interact with is very vocal about their love and all of their boards, which makes me wonder what I'm missing.

    1. You're not missing a thing, Alyce. Just because so many of the rest of us are raving about it doesn't mean that it's something you'll like. I know many people who still seem entranced by Twitter, and I mainly use it for news.
