We are Chris and Laurel Allen and live in Mesa,
Arizona. Though Laurel has lived in Arizona a
"few" more years than Chris, we both wouldn't
want to live anywhere else in the country. Our
love of the Grand Canyon, old B&W western
movies and TV Shows, John Wayne, southwest
history and Tex-Mex cuisine has made our life
together a blending of everything that we enjoy
most. Add to that three wonderful children, a
delightful daughter-in-law, an inquisitive
grandson, our close-knit families, and a bushel
basket of friends and we think that you will
agree our life has been richly blessed!
We would like to share with you our family history,
our hobbies, passions, and family album.
So sit back and enjoy the ride, We have!

Of course we also have a few pets running around the old bunkhouse. Here Piper
and Max are playing
catch in the backyard.
