We’re visiting David’s father, Bob, in Mesa, Arizona this week. Dad just arrived last week in Arizona from cold Northeastern Minnesota where he and his wife, Eleanor, live. They “winter” in the warm desert climate of Mesa, AZ. We got here yesterday and Dad was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital today. He’ll be there for the duration of our visit this week. So, we’ll be spending lots of time at the hospital it seems. And, we’re glad that we can help keep Dad in good cheer this week!

I suppose it’s not too bad to be inside mostly this week–it is quite dry here anyway. Doesn’t really meet our preferred climate–wet that is. Green hills, an ocean swell and a nice breeze–that’s the scene that appeals. A little rain or fog, yes, that’s good too.
