Where are we today ?
As usual up early today (what else is new), looking for sunrise, but not too exciting today. Got a phone call at 5:30am from Suzie's Dad that her Gramma had passed away at 2:30 this morning in her sleep. She had not been doing too well last night. Gramma was in her 99th year.
After this sad but not unexpected news Suzie was online most of the day checking out our options and me trying to help between a few walkabouts and waiting for phone calls.
No great sunrise today so photos available but did catch it shining on the peak behind us.

We are both sorry to hear of Suzie's Grandmothers passing, our condolences to you both. Great yearly rates the park offers for sure. You had much better weather then us today ours was a wet one. Pork sandwich and sides looked delish! Again our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys so appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
DeleteLooks like we heading into the rain on friday.
Kathy and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the both of you and Suzie's family over the loss of her Grandmother. I'm remembering the challenges she faced this past summer and seemed to have bounced back from it.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
Thanks guys! Its been a rough year for her.
DeleteSo sorry for Suzie but as you say, it was not unexpected. Having a 99 year old grandmother does speak well for her genes however. There is some longevity there!
ReplyDeleteI will never forget the time I picked an olive off a tree and tried to eat it!
Thank you Croft.
DeleteNo, no eat olives off the tree!
Sorry to hear of your loss. Our condolences to the both of you and your families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteEmile & Monique
Thanks guys appreciated. See you soon.
DeleteIt is so sad to have our beloved "olders" pass away, no matter how old they are or their health condition. It is like a link is broken in the family chain. Our best goes to both of you.
ReplyDeleteYes one of the main links too, Thanks Nan.
DeleteOh so sorry to hear about Susie's grandma. Give Susie a huge for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks I did.

ReplyDeleteAnd and special one from you, Thanks Lea.
DeleteThe distance does cause issues, but we will get through it. Thank you CJ.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad to lose a loved one and especially when we're close to that person. We're so sorry for your loss. However, the memories of the time spent together will never go away.
ReplyDeleteThere are some great annual rates in Arizona at some great parks. You can find that rate all over the Phoenix area, Yuma and just about every place else that snowbirders get together. The problem is we haven't found a place yet we'd like to spend all winter. Maybe one day we'll find it and maybe not.
Yes myself and especially Suzie have some awesome memories of her.
DeleteWe still have trouble staying in one place longer than two weeks, tried it a few times but gotta move somewhere.
Paul and I send our deepest condolences. What a long and blessed life she had. I am sure she was able to tell you two some wonderful tales of the "olden" days. Peace and comfort to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteShe had some great tales to tell us and called us gypsies would have loved to travel with us too.
Delete99 is a good run, but sad news nonetheless. My Condolences.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about Gramma. I know for her it was a blessing but still so hard for those of us still here. Hugs and prayers for all of your family.
ReplyDeleteYes is still hard but we all have great memories of her.
