Busy Weeks Continued

I mentioned that on Sunday after Thanksgiving we flew to Arizona to visit with my mother. Nanette picked us up at the airport. We sure appreciate all she does to help mother. Mother lives right by the Temple and worked there for many years (29 years). Arizona is a beautiful place to be during the winter. The Temple grounds in December are beautiful with all the Christmas lights that are on display . Monday evening after a great dinner at Nanette's we all took mother in her wheelchair and walked around to see all the lights.  Each evening they also have a little program that goes on near the Visitors Center. 



The Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix area recently completed the first of a light-rail system.  While I took mother to get her hair and nails done, Paul decided to go for a ride --  he went from beginning to end and really enjoyed it.  


Nanette had received a summons for jury duty, so we decided it would be easy to catch a bus and then possibly the light-rail and make our way to the airport on our own.  We were able to walk a couple of blocks and catch a bus just across from the Temple.  It ended up that the bus we caught went right to the terminal of the airport, so we just stayed on and rode it all the way.  It worked out great!!




We got to the airport in good time and then caught our next flight to San Antonio Texas -  back to where to used to live many years ago!!
