• All great things must end. And today, my visit to Margaret & Ron must end. Assuming my flight's on time, it departs at 12:11 PM. I arrive back in McAllen, TX about 6:11 PM.
• I thank Marg & Ron for wonderful memories of 6 very pleasant days in Phoenix in January of 2015. Their hospitality was fabulous, food was great, & reminiscing about old times was fun. Hope I can do it again.
• Both flights, Phoenix to Dallas, and Dallas to McAllen, departed on time and arrived early. 
• But flying sure feels like a cattle car. Extremely slow boarding and exiting.
• Good to sleep in my Texas room.
• I'll have to catch up on pictures tomorrow.

• Took Marg & Ron's dog, Sally, to Deer Valley Park for a walk - about 3 miles.
• Late morning, Marg & I drove up the rode about 5 miles to the Music Instrument Museum (M.I.M.) - an absolutely fabulous museum, very large. Covered everything from ancient instruments from Africa & Asia to Elvis to Leonard Bernstein. We were there for about 4 hours - returned absolutely pooped.
• Took a couple of neat pictures of the mountain peaks with Marg's silhouette.
