MYSTERY TRIP

We have absolutely enjoyed our neighbors across the street this summer. Jerry and Dana are sweet, funny and all around delightful human beings. They are always helping someone in the park and whenever someones in trouble, they immediately look for Jerry. While we were gone we appreciated them watching our home, but they wouldn't take anything for it. In a weak moment, I got him to agree to a mystery trip. Of course, then we had to wait until he had time-he's very busy! A couple weeks ago, we finally went. I hardly slept the night before worrying if he'd like it-he's kind of an obsessive compulsive worker. I knew Dana wouldn't be a problem-but Jerry was a problem. We headed north of Phoenix and he was ready for a nap. That was okay because he was up at 4:oo to clean the pools before we left. I had forgotten how pretty it is up that way.

When we turned off the highway, Don made a wrong turn (fancy that!) off the round about and this is where we ended up-at a casino-but, we didn't go in!

We arrived at Montezuma's Castle and when Jerry heard it was cliff dwellings, he didn't look too thrilled. But, by the time we left, he was amazed that people could have lived like that.



I included this picture, because some people probably wouldn't believe that Jerry knows how to sit down!



As we went down the road, Jerry was still talking about "those people".
