Homes 5 & 6 of the Superior Homes Tour

The last of the photos from Ladies Day Out in Superior on Sunday.


The Darrs were our hosts at Home #5: The Penny House

Mrs. Darr wanted a copper counter top in her kitchen.
It was costly, but she came up with another option...
She is covering her counters with pennies.


The Darrs built their fireplace with smooth river stones.


Doc Darr makes didgeridoos.
They are a very artist family.
Their home was filled with paintings, quilts,
and other crafts from 4 generations.


The view of Apache Leap from their side yard.


Tool collection on the yard fence


Doc on the left and an Australian guest playing one 
of Doc's many hand-crafted didgeridoo.
I enjoyed several of their haunting numbers.


The Darrs have hauled and carried many 
AZ desert and river rocks.



House #6: The Smith Home

This home has Picket Post Mountain as their backyard view
and Apache Leap as their front yard view from anywhere 
on their 25 acres.
The house was built in 1956. 
It is being modernized by the current owners. 
The owners' mother was our tour guide.


The telephone booth came from a mine in Butte MT 
and sits in the corner of the living room.


The current owners, grand nephew of the original owner,
 must be collectors of crosses.
Notice that 1950s ceiling light.
