Walking in Phoenix

A quick post to say that I am on vacation in Phoenix and so happy to be here.
I am sitting alone in my friend Susan's home. I took a long walk this morning which was a blessing. It is different walking in Phoenix than in Columbus. The sky seems bluer, the houses are "southwestern" , the flowers are abundant and so fragrant.

This week is - except for a two day retreat - unplanned time. What a gift.
I have brought four books to read and immediately Susan recommended more.

I look forward to spending time with Chuck and Susan and Ken ---but what a great beginning to be having time alone.
