Missed some Fall updates. Thanksgiving Weekend in Phoenix


 We went to Phoenix in November for Thanksgiving weekend for Dalia's (Linarte) wedding to Clayton Dean. Dalia is Mike's grand-niece, Lesa's daughter. We drove and took Mike's Mom. We stayed in a Courtyard Marriott, drove Berenice's car, ate dinner at Massiel's house the night we got there, attended a wedding on Saturday, and drove home early  Sunday morning so we could be back in Cedar City (Mike and I ) for our Temple Dedication Choir Practice at 5 pm Utah time.  Long days of driving.  We listened to "Endurance--Shakelton's Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing.  Great book. Amazing story of, what else, endurance.
