Re: mousehop, you have described my life in the sun, Arizona, Mexico,
I remember the coat thing with temperatures in the 60's. And I do miss all that sunshine, even though I know it's bad for my skin.

Possibly. Or maybe grow gills.

mousehop, you have described my life in the sun, Arizona, Mexico,
Brasil and Honduras, please! We used to put coke on our skin to get that dark caramel brown and then put lemon on our hair to get the white Australian aboriginal look....absolute foolishness.
Dad had at least 86 spots of all nomas and ousessssss taken off of him before he died and Mom too is having her share, at 85, she's up to 50 spots so far.
I have no money to hit doctors, so I fear this enormously. They used to have free skin check ups at the Cancer Clinic at the U of A, but no more.
I loved your warm descriptions of your youth, and mine......the desert misses you.
I would think that being beautiful would be the by product of too much rain. Curly hair, softer skin, nails, hair and fully hydrated bodies.
I'm wrinkling up like a lovely old prune and know that it is desert skin, if one lives outside a bit more around here.
My Pakistani granddaughter, visiting from freezing Madison, WI, and the other one who vacationed in below zero Boise, Idaho, with her sisters, those two stripped down to t-shirts when they first arrived at the airport here in Tucson last week. I greeted them in neck scarves, gloves and a jacket.
I think that it was 64 that day. Reading your post warmed me nicely, thanks.
