Whew Is Right!
Now you need a vacation. LOL I am jealous, though. Have thought it would bve fun to visit the "Gold and Silver". I love that show. Of course I'm very familiar with northern Az as that is where our vacation home was located. So hard not to be able to jump in the truck and go to the cabin.
Happiness to you on your lab findings and I know all will be well.
Love,
Wolfen

Visited often Oak Creek Canyon and Slide Rock....and then normally overnight partying at N.A.U./Flagstaff....
Sadly, I could not go for another slide ride, even if I wanted to....water too polluted....
Hugs, dear one!

Nothing like a packed itinerary. Sorry you had to pack so much into such a couple days but it sounds like it was wonderful.
