We had a great time in El Paso and a great Thanksgiving, with Paul's parents and Jessica.
Jess flew back to Muncie early on Saturday morning and we left soon after that for Phoenix. We stopped along the way at Picacho Peak State park for the night, since it was too far to go in one day.
Once in Phoenix, my cousin Linda was nice enough to invite us over for dinner and invited some of my other cousins so we would get a chance to see them. We had a great time chatting with everyone.
Monday I hung out with Linda while she did some errands, and Paul did some projects on the trailer. I always enjoy Linda's company- we are about the same age and saw each other a lot when we were kids. Our daughters were born about 4 hours apart, 20 years ago....
Linda and her husband Michael came over for dinner Monday. Unfortunately we had just recieved a phone call from Paul's mother telling us that his dad had fallen and was rushed to the hospital, unconcious. Linda and Michael were a great help to us while we figured out what to do with our trailer so we could get back to El Paso ASAP. We couldn't take it, since was snowing in El Paso, and therefore too cold for it. Plus it would slow us down and we'd have to park it someplace. We ended up parking it in my cousin Marcie's driveway in Phoenix. We very much appreciated having a safe place to put it for however long we need to...
We left this morning at 6 AM and it took about 30 minutes to get the trailer backed into the driveway before we hit the road.
We arrived in El Paso at about 3 pm this afternoon, dropped the cat off at the house and Pauls mom came home to pick us up to go to the hospital.
Tom has no broken bones but has not woken up yet, due to some bleeding in his brain. They are still running tests and hopefully we'll know more in the next day or so.
This is one of the perks of early retirement- we can stay here as long as we are needed, since we have no where specific we need to be.
