Thursday April 17, '14

I received the pictures I emailed from my phone to myself this morning, so you will see them at the end of today's post.

Marge, Bill, and I had dinner with Marge's daughter Susan and her husband Rick yesterday evening--absolutely fantastic homemade pizza with a wonderful thin crust, and an orange pound cake for dessert.    Wonderful company, and some great suggestions for places to see in Arizona.  Those included museums in Flagstaff and Page.  I thought I might leave my credit cards with Marge here in Goleta before I go to the museums--museums down here are such dangerous places because they always have amazing local native jewelry and fetishes and other treasures.  As bad as the trading posts!

I'm building a list of places to see, and trying to work out a route that fits them all in.  When I leave here Saturday morning I am driving down to the east side of San Diego to spend a couple of days with old friend and U W office mate Karen Sharkey.  We had hoped to spend a couple of weeks together seeing Arizona and New Mexico, but her work schedule has gotten too tight. So I'll start out from Karen's in southern California and southwest Arizona and work my way across the state from there.

Marge and I are going to a friend's for coffee this afternoon.  I think dinner is going to be at In 'n Out tonight, so we'll have to munch lightly this afternoon.

Yesterday's pictures follow--I'll try to take some people pictures today, but you won't see them until tomorrow.
