It was a week filled with a variety of views...
From the serious...
To the silly...
Taking in the Sunrise
(OK, who am I kidding, I'm a snow-bird in training, no need to get up as early as the sun...this will have to do...)
And I paused to enjoy the various sunsets...
From the view from my dad's condo...
To the full moon outside my cousin's neighborhood...
And of course, the infamous pink-purple magic of a desert sunset...
While the primary purpose was to check in on my uncle, and support my cousin as he transitioned into Hospice care, I took advantage of this trip to spend some time with my dad...who has been a snow birder for the past 18 years (give or take a couple seasons)
My dad's "just right" condo in Sun City...
Be it running into a friend outside his favorite thrift shop
or checking his email...
Sipping a cocktail with Man's Best Friend
(in this case, Jack, my uncle's dog who was lonely for his master)
to taking in a post-dinner snooze...
My dad indeed has perfected the lifestyle of a snowbird...
So while it's a few more years until I can embrace this lifestyle full time
*the down side of being a late bloomer on the parenting adventure
I sure did enjoy this snow-bird in training adventure...
