We got ahead of ourselves this year. Last week, we headed north from Sedona up through Oak Creek Canyon and didn’t see one trace of autumn! It’s always a pretty drive through the canyon and I hope I never take beautiful Sedona for granted. I found a lovely red tree to photograph in the mountain town of Flagstaff. We stopped at IHOP for a bite to eat. I’ve had a hankering for the newest thing on their menu…red velvet pancakes! Ma and Pa sitting on a bench at IHOP! Flagstaff is a very liberal college town with a huge used bookstore that we like to visit. I carried in my box of used Christian books for trade, but when I checked out, I was surprised not one book in my box was accepted. I was told that either my books were too outdated or there wasn’t a market for them. I asked the clerk “You have a large Christian section which seems very popular.” “Yes” was how the liberal clerk replied. This all is fishy to me
