Arizona

I'm here for only a few more hours and then whisk back to California.  I haven't had a chance to see much of the Scottsdale area, but have been fascinated by the peaks that form a ragged circle around the city.  My cousin is undergoing cancer treatment, so we took several easy walks in nearby parks.  It was good to stroll and talk under this blue, blue desert sky.  Besides sitting around and talking, we've just been sitting around and talking.  Last night my uncle and I watched a sweet but quirky Norwegian film called 'Oh, Horton'.  This quiet time has been a blessing to me and very much needed and appreciated.  I only hope my visit has been a fraction as beneficial to Mike and Mirelle.
