My brother, Rod & I saying good-bye to my mom who flew back to Iowa this morning. Mom has been in AZ for 3 months...much of that time spent at our home & much of that time at Carol & Paul's. Mom has had wonderful visits & days spent with Joan & Dean, Janna's, Abbie's as well as Rod & Kathy (vacationing from IA) plus Curt & Nancy who were here to help Abbie & Mike prepare a baby room. Mom is always ready to go "home" (it's hard on her to travel & be away). We're just thankful she was willing to come again this year to be with us Arizonans. I miss mom already but know she's glad to be back reading in her chair & catching up with friends & family. :-)
Not the best photo but nice to have a group shot (taken Friday @ Abbie & Mike's).

After taking mom to the airport this morning, Bob & I drove Rod back to the Mini Mansion (he's spending a month here) & then Bob & I hit the road for Utah. We'll be visiting Zion & Bryce National Parks for some hiking fun! Many pictures to follow upon our return. :-)
It was so nice that your mother could spend 3 months in AZ....now back to Iowa!
ReplyDeleteGood to see so many of your family members!
Wish you could have met Mom on your trip here (too bad Carol's family had been sick). But happy you were able to see the 3 little kids, Janna & meet my brother, Rod!
