First Part of February

 Hello Family & Friends,

It is with a sad heart that I write that sister-in-law, Johnette Pendergast (Johnny), passed away on February 1st.  We thank you for your prayers and love you sent in her final days at home with family.  We miss her and keep good memories of last year when she and Mike visited us in Arizona. We know that she is playing with the Angels....

So our February started a little shaky and with sad hearts .... we have gotten busy again with a few trips to a place called Hole in the Wall Waterfall.  It was a brisk day, but plenty of sunshine.  We were headed to a place for lunch near Alamo Lake -- more of the restaurant later --- we traveled quite a ways to a place call the hole in the wall -- and when we have water in Arizona there is an amazing waterfall -- and actually a pond area -- here's a few pics of the site:

Here's the hole in the wall and we climbed up to get to the waterfall -- such beautiful scenery as you can see from the pictures below.

Darrel worries about these rocks falling down, and maybe I should too!  Look at the rubble below the rock in the left picture.  I just don't think about it too much!

Here's where the waterfall would be if we had water to fall --- I guess it is an amazing site to see!

Here's the pond area on the left -- mostly a sand pit!  Darrel is picking his way back down the rocks, carefully!

We journeyed on to lunch spot called Wayside Oasis RV Park and Bar & Grill -- absolutely wonderful food -- I had a delicious hamburger and Darrel had the open face roast beef special.  Our group was larger about 16 people -- we traveled back along the primitive road.

We really enjoyed the ride and seeing the Hole in the Wall -- so many places to explore and marvels to see.

Sending blessings from the road,

Susan & Darrel

PS  Stay tuned for a couple more posts -- I am catching up as Darrel is in PT for his hip and I have Internet in Wickenburg!
