Friday March 3rd 1978
Vivian picked we three up at Alan’s in got to LA airport with little traffic. Saw mother and Mary off for Columbus and I took plane for Phoenix. Don, Agnes and Wilda* met me at the gate after a wet landing. Much of Phoenix flooded, even the runway. Shopped at supermarket and then off for Wickenburg. Highway washed out on two lanes several places but used other two lanes. Hassa Yampa River at Wickenburg washed garage into river. The “Ranch” glorious on top of a knoll- five houses, horses, pigs, chickens, a pet lamb, nine cats “Gigi” poodle. Don and I walked down the road and climbed up hill before dinner, all fun to be with.
