In Scottsdale



Click on photos and they may enlarge and give a better perspective

We have arrived in Scottsdale enjoying the great hospitality of Dan and Julie Lockwood,our niece and nephew. Yesterday we had a great drive through Arizona's beautiful mountains and pine forests. We drove through the painted desert and the petrified forest, to which these pictures do not do justice. Today we spent the afternoon with Uncle Jim and Aunt Karen. Uncle Jim is ornery as ever which means he is mending well from his recent surgery or the sight of Paul reminded him of his roots in the home state of Hubert Humphrey and the Democratic, Farmer, Labor Party. In truth he was happy to see us and especially his sister formerly know as "Patty".

News from home for those who don't already know: Carson Westra made the AAA 13 baseball team in Inver Grove Heights. We are right proud of the boy who is really taking a step up to play with 13 year olds at the Triple A level. Go C-MAN!
