TRAVELING WITH MY DAUGHTER IN LAW

I was very lucky lately. When it was time to come home to St Louis from Phoenix, I was delighted that my daughter in law, Rebecca, was willing to fly out and drive back with me.

When I picked her up at the Tucson airport she cried because the light, she said, was too unbearably beautiful. Awww...that's so sweet. I think she liked Tucson!

We went around Tucson for a couple of days, meeting various friends I've made there, and then we dashed up to Mesa to stay a couple of nights with my good friend Jim and then we were up and at 'em early, heading home.

The three days went buy rapidly and without incident. The first 5 hours of our trip was through high desert, pine-clad mountains and small western towns...delightful!

If there was ever a great person to travel with it's Rebecca. I can only say to my son, "Dude, you are one lucky guy!" Which, of course, I am sure he realizes....in fact, I think they both believe they lucked out in this match.

I'm happy that I was able to spend this time with my very sweet daughter in law, Rebecca.
