Hand off completed

We delivered our St. Paul house guest to her next stop this morning, after spending a very enjoyable five days with her. We left Frannie at Quail Creek, a lovely community south of Tucson, with Jan and her husband, Bill. Jan (above left - Bill was golfing) is Frannie's fellow nurse at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Jan is also a veteran cruiser with over two dozen cruises to her credit, so Stan and Kathleen took the opportunity to quiz her on the ins and outs of her activities. She favors the Princess cruise lines and her next cruise will include the Normandy coast. Why are Stan and Kathleen interested? There's a 30-year anniversary coming up, and well, you just never know.
We didn't see any quails today at Quail Creek, so here's a movie of some cuties in our back yard. We saw a cardinal there this afternoon, but missed it. Tipped off by daughter Jennifer, we hope to view the moon in its fullest, closest state tonight. And we're watching the acclaimed "Michael Clayton" until then. Anybody seen it?
