M.A.D.M.E.N. Odometer-Where we went in September

The Happy Rooster opened up just for us on September 11th because they knew My MiNi had the munchies and because one of our members, Suzanne, had an inside connection. All of the walls, floor to ceiling, were painted with humorous depictions of chickens, some in saloon girl get-ups and bright red lipstick, some in western garb complete with sidearms and 10-gallon hats. We got to order whatever we wanted off the menu and that made us Happy, Happy just like the rooster.

Our overnight trip this month, on the weekend of September 20th, was up to Mt. Graham. Our newest co-chair, Stephen Campbell, got inspired and lead our little band off MiNis off pavement (oh, my!!) for about 7 miles. We’re happy to say that everyone and all of their MiNis survived.  Dinner was at the La Paloma restaurant. That night, some of the members chose to camp out at Roper State Park but others decided that a motel would be more to their liking! Our return trip was the back road through Fort Grant.  Wine tasting in Willcox caught the attention of some of our members.  Another stop at Apple Annie’s produce stand and the orchard was in order as some members picked up tasty fresh vegetables to bring home to Tucson.

Oui, oui! Bet you didn’t know that MiNis can speak French.  Well, they don’t really but we enjoyed our last Saturday breakfast at Mimi’s Cafe on Oracle near the Tucson Mall. We had a great turnout and our youngest MiNi member, Lilly, even joined us a the big people’s table.
