It's a fun place to visit when there's adequate time to do more exploring. Fortunately, we'd had that time on a previous visit. This time, home was calling.<br /><br />I've appreciated getting to know you through blogging, too, Petra. I look forward to continuing our friendship via email.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-50232448961029400882019-04-20T16:09:52.335-04:002019-04-20T16:09:52.335-04:00The sand dunes look very unusual in combination wi...The sand dunes look very unusual in combination with the mountains. Quite unexpected, aren't they? As for your retiring from blogging, I would just like to highlight how grateful I am that we "met" through the blogging and how much I enjoyed your posts as well as your replies to my comments.

You're already in my address book. :) <br /><br />It was your Monument Valley tour experience that motivated us to do the tour this time, and we were glad we did. <br /><br />I'm sorry about the health issues you've been having, but you're definitely an inspiration with your persistent attitude of keeping going to the extent that you can. My hip and knees are much better, but it doesn't take much physical activity to set me back again. <br />Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-1119503310825397802019-04-13T11:22:34.390-04:002019-04-13T11:22:34.390-04:00Thank you, George.

I, too, am so glad that we've had the opportunity to meet face to face a couple of times. The Great Sand Dunes National Park is beautiful and unique. I hope you'll have the opportunity to check it out in person someday.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-25895820181658686582019-04-13T10:37:30.656-04:002019-04-13T10:37:30.656-04:00Oh Linda, I am sorry you are 'retiring' -...Oh Linda, I am sorry you are 'retiring' --but I'm sure there will come a time when I do it also....<br /><br />I loved loved loved reading about your 'last hurrah' trip... I especially loved reading about Canyonlands and my favorite place, Monument Valley. So glad you all took the tour... You got some amazing pictures.<br /><br />I have trouble on occasion with my left hip... Part of my problem is jumping in and out of the car to get pictures when we are on a trip... I obviously don't 'swivel' correctly because my hip starts huring then. That has happened twice. over about 4-5 years. My doctor puts me on Prednisone for about 5 days and it has helped..... <br /><br />God Bless you and your Sweetie.... Please keep in touch.
