We spent 4 wonderful weeks in Phoenix under warm sunny skies. Played golf once, but not very well, and the other members of my foursome were very patient. It was very relaxing and now that the month here is over I'm not really sure what I did. I guess that's vacation!

Gisele organized a party for my 60th which was wonderful with good friends and excellent music by Don Hart. Our friends Muriel & Gregg offered the use of their home in El Mirage and I made a gallon of margaritas for the 35 guests. There must have been a hole in the pitcher since it disappeared quickly. I had a great time and look forward to 61.

The day after we took a  trip to Tortilla Flats, a stagecoach stop in the early 1900s and possibly the smallest community in the US with a Post Office with a population of 6. This was followed by a short visit to Goldfield which is as the name suggests, an old gold mining camp.

It was my Birthday!

The evening was topped by an evening at the Arizona Opry which is a dinner theatre in Mesa with live country music & entertainment.

We left Phoenix on March 13 for a 4 day stay in Sedona, Arizona a picturesque village in the red mountains 2 hours north of Phoenix. It's a beautiful town with many tours to view the red rock formations as close as possible. It was a very nice place to take down our motorcycle from the RV and tour the area.

We left Sedona on Wed. March 16 for Albuquerque, New Mexico to visit our friend Margaret. She took us around Albuquerque and up to Santa Fe. It was a wonderful visit and from there was the return trip of 3 days to Dallas to prepare the RV for storage before out trip east to visit with Bill's sister Linda in New Jersey and friends in Connecticut.
