Bailey graduated today from ASU with his master's degree in architecture. We are so proud. He has worked so hard and deserves the opportunities that have come and are yet to come his way. The desert flowers are in bloom but we have yet to make the desert tour. We do enjoy the colors as we walk and ride our bikes. We find that plants flower at different times and some only flower at night so finding a good time to tour the desert is proving difficult. We will just have to wait until June when we drive through the desert on our road trip back East. As an outline: on the 1st we will drive to Erie (Bob & family +), to Chautauqua (Craig & Janet are renting a cottage on the lake), to Maine (Steve & Laura), to Phoenixville (Mike & Annika + friends), then taking the Auto-train to Florida for Lutz (Craig and Janet), then The Villages (Paul & Carol + friends) and finally back to Arizona with a possible stop in New Orleans. Other than leaving on the 1st, all dates are TBD. We are planning to be back home by early July.
