Arizona and Memories

As we all went our separate ways, it felt very strange only being responsible for myself and not having to keep checking that I had everyone ( yes -it was mother hen at work).

But arriving in Arizona I got to see my fairy godmother, my host mum from 18 years ago when I was an exchange student in Illinois.

Phyllis will be 80 next month and it was so special to spend time with her reminising etc. I even managed to shout her lunch, she made me her world famous chili and I also cleaned her silver. No one should have dirty silver on their 80th. Although she did manage to hide some from me.

It was a great experience and we even managed to go down to scottsdale, with me driving, concentrating on being on the right side of the road.
