The end of a busy week

We all survived a very busy week, and now it seems kind of unusually quiet. We dropped Ron and Diane off at the airport this morning, and as I write this they should be at the Tulsa airport waiting for their luggage. Just as I wrote that the phone rang. It was Ron, and he said they were at baggage claim waiting for their luggage!! We must have put about a thousand miles on the cars over the past week. We went to Tucson, Sedona, Tonto National Monument, and 4 Baseball games! It was a full week and then some. We've got them thinking about an Alaska cruise with a little extra time to hang out in Seattle. Ron said he wants to catch a flying salmon at the Pike Place Market.
Back on the home front, Hairold T. Cat made his break from Keith and Sheila's. He was lurking by the door, and when it opened he headed out and hasn't been seen since. He has now been AWOL for a week, and it's not looking too good for his chances of returning. On the bright side he's 16 years old and had a pretty good life. All cats should be so lucky.
We are seriously looking into making a side trip to see Kristin in Marble Falls, Texas. It will add about a week to our adventure, and cover an additional 2200 miles. If we do that, we will get home about the 26th or 27th of April. Otherwise we should be home about the 21st.
This next week we will try to get tickets for a couple more Baseball games. Most of the games we have seen this spring were sold out or close to it. Not sure what that's all about, but the Dodger's Mariner's game that we saw yesterday (Saturday) set the attendance all time record for a Cactus League Spring Training game. Things are begining to wind down, and the temperature's begining to crank up. It's supposed to be in the upper 80's by mid week.
I'll be adding some pictures shortly. Ernie

Oh no! Sorry to hear about your cat. He might still show up, don't count him out quite yet. The desert pictures are so good! There's just all kinds of beauty in these United States. Sounds like you still want to "keep on truckin'", if so, have a great time in Texas, I'll keep the mail coming until you tell me to stop!

We had a great time, wish we were still there. Thanks to our good friends we really enjoyed our week. We are going to nominate Ernie for "KING OF THE WEBBER".
Keep us posted on your plans, have a safe trip.....Diane
