Kent & Sharon's Echo Acres Excerpts: MARCH -- TRIP TO PHOENIX, AZ TO MY SISTER'S

We left the Storage Expo in Las Vegas and flew on to Phoenix for several days with my "Snowbird" sister & brother-in-law -- Donna & John -- at their winter home there. We went hiking in the White Tank Mts. near them and took a picnic lunch the first day. The next day we met up with some other couples for lunch and the Arizona Opry -- it was an awesome musical performance! Saturday Donna fixed a brunch and had several couples over. Had such a nice time together! Sunday was union meeting and then Todd & Shanna and her Mom came for dinner at Donna & John's along with Ron & Videll Gorder. Another scrumptious meal and visit! Off to gospel meeting in the PM and then to Sandy & Terry Ramaker's home (from WI) for a delicious supper and hymn sing with several other couples. A lovely evening and ending to our stay in Phoenix. Sure did enjoy all the "Snowbirds" and our time with Donna & John!!! Our thoughts were with my other sister's family in Florida -- Tom & Marilyn -- as he had a kidney removed and lots of complications and further surgical procedures. He has been in ICU for several weeks now, but finally on the mend... That will be another blog entry!
