Gabrielle Giffords had reunion with staff in Tucson

Astronaut Mark Kelly says a weekend visit home to Tucson was good medicine for his wife, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

In an interview with the Arizona Daily Star, Kelly says he and Giffords got Mexican takeout Friday night and on Saturday went for a ride in downtown Tucson.

He says later Saturday, Giffords had a reunion with her staff that included an emotional meeting with Ron Barber, who was also injured in the Jan. 8 mass shooting in Tucson that killed six and wounded 13.

On Sunday, the couple and Giffords' family had a Father's Day breakfast of eggs, bagels, fruit salad


She flies over fire, sees downtown, visits staff, goes back to Houston

One of the first things Gabrielle Giffords noticed during a ride downtown Saturday was a message on the marquee of the Rialto Theatre.

"We love you Gabby," she blurted from her seat in their SUV, reading the sign aloud.

1. Reading about her puts a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.
She is such a trooper and I am grateful that she was able to go home for awhile.
