Not only a Plan B, but Plans C and D, and maybe even E

Oh my, you are going to be so proud of me. I did the Florida Keys and the Golden Gate Bridge. As long as I was in the car I was ok.
I am sure the wrinkles are from stress. My parents had no wrinkles and they lived in to their 90’s. They did not stress about anything. They locked out everything and only knew that the 2 of them existed. My Mom was a hoot and extremely vain but she loved T and had a crush on an Uncle of his. Too funny. I am talking when she was in her early 80’s. My Dad kept a tight rein on her. Robin is like her Grandma as is her daughter they can’t help it. lol Lexy says she comes from good genes!

I keep remembering more & more instances. He would get like you. Shaking violently etc. Can’t post them all, but have to add that in the 60’s there was an amusement park called The Pike. In later years the Queen Mary was docked there. Anyway, back then it had one of the largest wooden roller coasters in the world. I did get Jim to go on it with me once. Eye’s closed. I on the other hand went on several times when we lived out there.

Know all about those wrinkles, too. Interesting side note. I never had wrinkles, but shortly after Jim died BAM, there they were. Stress related maybe? Like you, I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I am 66 and counting.

I also wore contacts for many years before having my cataract surgery and that usually causes some wrinkling around the eyes, but it didn’t for me. I agree with the doctor that Jim’s untimely death had something to due with the aging almost over night. I was 60 at the time. Wonder if anyone else experienced something similar after a stressful situation?

Sorry about all the smileys!

How about this? For Teddy’s 70th Birthday I got him a hot air balloon ride over Phoenix. He LOVED it. Darla, I won’t even go on the 2nd floor of a Mall and look over the rail to the floor below.
When I was 13 we went to NYC and I would not walk up the statue of Liberty. I have to tell you all a wonderful story. My Dad was born in Wausau Wis. one of 8 siblings. His favorite niece was Marilyn who at the age of 2 was thrown from the car in an accident and lost her hearing and became a deaf/ mute. She ended up getting married to a man who was the same and lived in Brooklyn. So, we are in NYC and decide to go to Coney Island. If you have ever been there the beach is loaded with people in the summer. We stopped in the Washington bath house to hand things up in the locker and proceeded to the water but were walking in a jagged route. My Dad said, “Let’s walk as straight forward to the edge as we can so we can find our way back to this bathhouse.” We get to the edge and a lady grabs his sleeve and utters, “Uncle Norman”. It was Marilyn. Destiny! I have been so privileged to have a lot of destiny in my life. Sorry but the mention of NYC always reminds me of that. You are all wonderful to put up with this old timer!

Come on out, Son. It would be fun and then knowing you, you could eat your way through Phoenix!!!

Cuz, It will work. I have a fear of heights. Cannot go high except in an airplane. You could also wear a parachute!!!

Hi, Son. Very impressive. Many people (not me) will take the trail on a donkey from top to bottom.
Know how the mules are trained??
They are blindfolded and walked down the trail late at night blindfolded! Yikes. That is why you never hear of an accident on them. Sure footed. I will leave the mules for others!
Another fun thing to do is you can take an old Steamer from Williams to the GC complete with mini lunch and outlaws robbing the train. The GC is only a few hours from Phoenix and is about 40 minutes from where Lexy went to College at NAU.

I would say Grand Canyon in April, May, September or October. When kids are still in school. It will be warming up but not HOT. BTW I didn’t mean to stop you in Sedona, come all the way to Phoenix if you want, it’s nice then.
