Welcome to the latest edition of the blog, which takes us out West for my dad's 80th birthday extravaganza.
Glenn and I arrived a day before David and Marsha. My folks were renting this lovely house where we all stayed.

| We definitely need a cow skull for our house! |
It was like 70 degrees our first day there, 85 on day two, and 97 on day three.
Here are some more pics from around their property.
On day 2, David and Marsha arrived and we all had a lot of fun catching up. And Glenn and Marsha began working on a 500 piece butterfly puzzle on the back porch that totally absorbed their focus for the duration of the trip. I did not know Glenn liked jigsaw puzzles.
That was also my dad's birthday, so we went out and had a fabulous dinner at a famous restaurant called Hacienda del Sol.

| The birthday boy! |

This is a Cholla cactus and I can tell you from experience it is not nice. |
When they got back from their hike, we went to the Tucson Botanical Gardens, which was beautiful. They also had a butterfly house where we got some good pics.

| This might be my favorite pic from here |

These butterflies look like owls when their wings are open. You can see the "eyes" on their wings. |

| Glenn is a more expressive butterfly than me. |
Well, I can think of no better way to conclude the blog than with that.^
Hope you enjoyed the pics and you are all doing well!
