My Trip to Arizona

Now that the jet lag is over, I can reflect on my trip to sunny Arizona.  It was a very nice respite and I enjoyed spending quality time with the Arizona Wottles.  Tim took me to the Superstition Mountain area on my birthday and we stopped at the Fort McDowell Casino which is located on an Indian Reservation just outside Phoenix.  I left with a profit of $19.50.  I wanted to try for the jackpot with my winnings, but Tim convinced me to leave while I was ahead.  We even met some guys fishing for trout in a river in the middle of the desert.  It was so scenic and serene.

While Mom & Dawn were on their spiritual journey, Tim and I went to Sedona and Jerome.  It was so beautiful at Red Rock State Park.  We took the back road from Jerome to Prescott.  Wow, what a ride -- my ears were popping all the time!  Then we stopped at the Rock Springs Cafe in Black Canyon City for supper.  It's a great little local place noted for their BBQ Pork and Jack Daniels pecan pie. 

We attended the closing ceremony for Mom's walk to Emmaus.  It was awesome to see so many happy pilgrims of various denominations in all the colors of the rainbow ready for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and looking forward to sharing the Agape Love that they experienced to a hurting world.  Afterwards, we had a tailgate party in the church parking lot to celebrate.  My nephews really enjoyed my world famous brownies, and I enjoyed the weather and fellowship.

Tommy missed me and is glad I'm home -- so is Izzy!
