Raising cane and monkeying around Laughlin.

Here’s a picture Don took this morning of the little old lady with her cane but in one of her favorite spots. I love the river walk where we can see the river below and the mountains in the background. This particular place has these monkeys holding lanterns, but the place is closed. Only the parking lot and the monkeys remain. I think the monkeys are cool, but the river and mountains are AWESOME! That's one of the monkeys BEHIND the fence! Across the river you can see Bullhead City, Arizona. We walk about a mile to breakfast and then we walk back along the river walk. It’s a great walk. We do that same walk for supper, but it’s HOTTER in the evening. Of course we could take the car, but we enjoy the walking and it’s good for us to get to do this much pleasant walking.

Tomorrow we leave to meet Jeff and his family in Vegas. Then we’ll follow them to St. George, Utah, where Jessie is playing in a fast pitch tournament. We haven’t seen her play in a couple of years, so we’re really looking forward to it. We’ll come back to Vegas on Sunday and stay at the Plaza for 4 nights; then we’ll move into our condo for the rest of the time.

We’ve had a really good time so far. I love this baking heat; it’s not Don’s favorite thing, but I’m loving it. Of course the air conditioning is great, too. The pool is wonderful; my arm loves the swimming and the compression the water gives. Again, I thank God for the opportunity to take this getaway, for the healing that makes it possible, the freedom to do it and Don’s support to make it possible.
