SKP Saguaro Co-Op, Benson, AZ: Apr 13-26
Now we're back in Benson for two weeks. This is the first time we have stayed here and not visited Gayle's house, in short because it is no longer Gayle's house, just the Westward Look house. Gayle moved to La Veda Llena in Albuquerque on March 22, there was a giant estate sale the following weekend, an interested buyer made an offer on the house, and the closing is scheduled for later this month. Doug has so many excellent memories of that house, having gone to high school & college while living there -- truly formative years of his life. Of course the memories remain, but he was always instantly 20 years old again when he went back to visit, and that is a hard thing to give up. We know Gayle must have struggled even harder with the move.
We have spent most of our time here in the usual way -- playing bridge in Sierra Vista, line dancing, visiting with old friends and making new ones. It's nesting season for birds & it's fun to see prospective parents snooping around looking for possible new homes. Willie has made it to the Mah Jongg games a couple of times and is holding her own with the higher level of play. We are looking forward to the annual Margarita "tasting" party later this week!We took Rainbow to the local vet -- they really work well with her. Her weight is down to 4.12 lbs, but she is still healthy, active & curious. "Just keep on doing what you've been doing," was their advice. Amber is still very kittenish but getting more talkative every day. We never quite know what she is trying to say, but there sure is a lot of it. Trixie enjoys lounging around wherever we are. Whenever either of us sits on the couch Trixie is there, ready to be a lap cat!
