Turkey Flight Of The Phoenix

On Wednesday, Nov. 26 it was over the (Colorado) river and through the (cactus) woods to grandmother's house we go. Dad and mom and Sarah drove from Monrovia to Phoenix, AZ.  Waiting for the threesome was Grandma Hodgkinson with a fine dinner and lovely accommodations.

Turkey dinner was scheduled for Friday, so Thursday was free for some casual activities. First, a visit was paid to aunt Teri in the hospital (following back surgery).  The brand new Phoenix Temple just opened a week earlier, on Nov. 18 and there was plenty of time to drive to the outskirts, in the northwest corner of Phoenix and see the beautiful new building and grounds.  In the afternoon the wonderfully perfect weather prompted a walk around grandma's neighborhood  followed by several rousing rounds of 'Chick-foot'.
