“If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.” Always heard that in New England. Here’s the fun thing….. After a year of traveling the country, I have heard that expression in every state I’ve stopped. I guess we all have ever changing weather.

Much of the rain here starts out as snow, so never be surprised at a little of the white stuff — almost any time of the year. Just remember our elevation; there’s no such thing as a warm rain in Prescott…

Thanks for the nice words; was great to get a chance to meet the different local bloggers. Such a splendid mix of people and interests.

BTW, did you get the URL for the little girl?

Ahhh…springtime in Prescott. It is crazy here, we always say, “if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes” and it’s also why we usually dress in layers, so then we can add or subtract as the weather dictates.

And, there is usually something going on during the summer in the down town area (sometimes I think it’s a little much, but then again, owning a business in town does make one more aware of the lack or supposed lack of parking)

Good luck with the move too…

Mike,

Great meeting you today too! I’m sorry we didn’t get to talk cameras more. I’ve been through your site a lot the past few weeks, and every picture has been fantastic. Oh, can you do me a favor? Your friend who came along…..I’d like his photo link as well.

Look forward to talking again in the near future!

Sandybee,

Well, not very round about at all. And I’m glad to help along a memory! Your story gave me a smile.

There’s something special here in Prescott. I was able to experience more of it today meeting with residents of the town at the blogfest. A great group of people, and a wonderful community. Honestly, there’s a little bit of everything here, and we all need that!

Still, I’d really like one of the cute lamb stickers. Seen them all over town now, and my Titan is sorely lacking the cute sticker!

OK. This is sort of round about. Back in the late ’70s, I was an active square dancer here in San Diego. I met a fellow who was an ‘adopted’ son of Charles (I think) Lamb, of Lamb Chevrolet here. My friend wasn’t really adopted, but he might as well have been as he spent a lot of time with the Lamb family. He invited me to meet the Lambs, which I did. That turned into an invitation to fly with them in the family plane to Prescott for a long weekend. I accepted. They were a most gracious couple. Their son ran the Prescott store, as they called it and the son’s wife had a gift shop there. They were living in a double wide trailer in a park on the outskirts of town while they were waiting for their new house to be built. My square dancer friend was the interior designer. My friend and I then went into town to for a little square dancing that took place in the plaza in front of the statue in your photo. I’m sure Mr. & Mrs. Lamb have passed on by now as they were in their late 60s then. Lamb Chevrolet here in San Diego has gone, I believe. I lost touch with my square dancer friend, too. I have been through Prescott since then and remembered the Lambs and their lovely hospitality. Your photo brought back those memories. I’m glad to know the Lamb dealership is still there and continues to be reputable.
