I just wrote to Shirley, just got back last night from visting my son in Az. Cold and rainy out there. I had a great adventure in Sedona, oops, I forgot to tell Shirley about it. I went on a tour with a very Spiritual individual who took me to lots of Kevas, Im not sure how to spell that, but they look like small mts. but are actually man made to look like a pyramid. Up top was a small room to do Ceremonies.. One set that was side by side gave me chills. Very knowledgeable person. Blessings Betty
