APACHE JUNCTION, AZ. Next was a few days with my sister in Apache, where we had a nice side trip to Boyce Thompson Arboretum near Superior which took us on the paths of hundreds of cacti and other plant life.

We had fun playing pinochle in the mobile home park with lots of the residents there. I did a presentation on my Peace Corps experience and was treated to a tasty lunch at Patsy's house with my niece and other friends joining us. Time in the pool was also fun; the weather on our trip was cool to mild, so we didn't get to wear our warm weather clothes as hoped. If I can be as alert and active as this sister when I am 83, I shall be grateful!
