Hello all: Today is a sad day. This morning I got a call that my Uncle Billy had passed away. It was not a total surprise as he has been having a lot of difficulties with breathing and heart problems. It is hard to lose a loved one and especially such a icon to the family . We will all miss him very much but he will remain in our hearts for ever. He will be the one in heaven waiting to welcome all family members who come to join him and other family members already there.

Yesterday Terry and I went to Tortilla Flats and had lunch. We continued on from there along the Apache Trail. It is 22 miles of a twisting, turning and nasty dirt road. It took us 2 hrs to complete, and yet worth the trip it was beautiful. We saw the Superstition Mountains, Canyon Lake, Apache Lake, Roosevelt Dam and Roosevelt Lake. The Roosevelt Dam is the largest masonry dam in the world. We had a great day and it was a nice break from our tough retirement schedule of resting, eating, bike riding and swimming. Life in Arizona is great. Love and Prayers for all
