Hi parents,Last day of studying going mock exams and looking into wrong answers when I have them. Amanda and Kayla are going to feed kittens, I’m leaving Monday morning so it won’t be that long as I’ll be home Wednes day night. Super windy and cold here, was minus 7 yesterday and is around the same today. Corey and Rebecca are coming next weekend now. Love to you both!!! Duke was bringing elastics to bed at 4 am wanting to play. He’s an adorable little shit!!!Hi Duke and Etta! Please help Chloë study! Album of our hike earlier today! Life is grand here in Sedona! All the best for your exam. Love, Dad!

Gill and Phil took us on a walk/short hike this morning. Lady Dar stayed by the creek, to read, while the three of us followed the trail, part of the way towards the base of Cathedral. Back home we had a quick bite to eat and then we headed out for a bike ride. Lady Dar needed to be home to receive a call, from Vancouver, from couple she will marry in August, in Naramata, at the Heritage Inn. We followed one of Gill's regular routes and my eyes were always popping out of my head at the stunningly spectacular views and vistas. They literally take your breath away, so magnificent are the colours and sheer size of the formations. 

Only thing that marred an otherwise perfect outing was the fact that my, obviously not-so trusty, new Garmin, stopped, frozen screen and all, twenty minutes into the ride. Catastrophe, indeed, Dear Reader! Had never experienced such a situation. Hoped it would revitalize itself when I plugged it in to my computer, once home. No luck. Decided I'd phone the Garmin Help Line, which I have used to good effect in the past, tomorrow. Map and Stats for ride:
