Time being limited, I will only say that the last couple days of our vacation were enjoyable until we faced the reality of a loss in the family. While touring Tuzigoot, the ruins of an Indian pueblo, I got a call from my sister Kathy to let me know Dad had fallen and hit his head. He had been non-responsive since, and continued that way until we did a video call at 5 PM AZ time, and he died about 5:25.
It's really a blessing since the last five years of his life had been a struggle, caring for Mom as she wasted away in the nursing home, then 3 years alone in declining physical condition. This was his fourth or fifth fall since last September, and will be his last.
Prior to that event we had enjoyed Cottonwood and Jerome, were booked into a nice resort in Sedona on Wednesday, and headed home by way of some beautiful scenery including Oak Creek Canyon, the Petrified Forest, and the Painted Desert. They're all included in an album accessed if you click here.
