AA meetings itself is now a peaceful little com- munity of about 250 folks, several funky little shops and restaurants, a love of whimsical yard art, and a picturesque historic main street. Though many of the original build- ings were destroyed by fire, a few have survived. The old bank vault, the two-room jail, and the railroad station are still standing today, and the still active post office is said to be the oldest continually function- ing post office in Arizona. At only a few hours drive from Quartzsite, it is well worth a day trip or over- nighter to visit this unique place.

Happy Travels and we'll see you soon in Quartzsite! through the little town of Mattawa. I stopped at the Tortilaria where I could see tortillas being automati- cally cooked over a gas flame and plopped into a pile below. The friendly proprietor said I must try one and gave me a paper to pick one up. It was so hot I could hardly hold it. Back in my camper, I spread it with butter and raspberry jam, rolled it up, and ate it, relish- ing every bite. When I went back into the store, I took the owner a freshly picked pink lady apple from Kelly's orchard. I enjoyed looking around the store at all the various Mexican baked goods, remind- ing me of the stores one sees in Florida. I also stopped in the small grocery store which brought back memories of the time I lived in Bridgeport, Washington when I was first married. There was only one store; so you basically took what you could get. All in all, it was a very satisfying morning, and my spirits (always a bit shaky when I start out "on the road" again after a long stay in one place) were soaring into the future. (According to www.foodreference. com "There are more than 7,000 varieties of apples, but only about 100 are grown commercially in the U.S. Eight varieties account for 80% of total U.S. production. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Gran- ny Smith, McIntosh, Rome Beauty, Jonathan, York, and Stayman.) ~*~*~*~*~*~ What does another person mean to us, really, if they are not available to share our lives, and we cannot really know them -- but we cherish them for the transient joy they have shared with us?.....unknown ~*~*~*~*~*~ Jane's book is WANDERINGS: Living the Ordinary Extraordinarily (Stories from the Road).
